    I am obsessed with this store!!! There is a good selection of books, some fun book lover gift ideas, plenty of places you can sit a minute and peruse some pages, and the ambience of the whole place is intoxicating for a book lover. I wish I lived in Grand Rapids so I could frequent the shop more often, but to my fellow book lovers, check this out!!! It's enchanting.

    This is the neatest bookstore I've ever been to! There are beautiful murals all over the walls and it just has a cozy warm feeling to it. Also some really cool gifts other than books as well!

    Gem of a bookstore in downtown Rapid City. Comprehensive selection of fiction and non-fiction titles on all conceivable topics, from nordic noir to NASA. A local business worth supporting, even if you’re not a local!

    Oh my!!! This bookstore was AMAZING!! Usually, with small bookstores the selection can be a little small. This place was packed with all kinds of great reads. Best sellers, teenage books, kids books, and regional authors. Super cute gift items and sticker collection. We were not disappointed and the whole family found several titles they were excited about. Thanks for a great experience!

    Tiny, clean, and neat; if they don't have the book you're looking for they can special order it in for you.

    Really cute store. The staff picks they've scattered about the shelves are super helpful for finding good reads in every genre. I picked up so many recommendations from that alone and now I've got a backlog. Great little shop to stop in and kill a little time

    This quaint bookstore lies within the central portion of Rapid City's historic square. The location is congested with traffic throughout the day, and parking can prove to be a challenge. However, when parking has been achieved, the surrounding area is home to many notable businesses and niche shops for all to enjoy. The bookstore offers an extensive selection for younger to mid-range readers. On the other hand, there is not a great deal to choose from for adult readers. Works of the most revered and prominent authors, such as Hemingway, Tolkien, and Orwell are available, so this is ideal. There are plush items, stickers, activity books, and character insignias from well-known children's books available for purchase to round out the fun and inviting kid-friendly experience. Though the store is quite small, the books and selective genres are placed in a rather strategic manner that allows a great number of titles to be stocked and displayed. There are some areas where it can be difficult to scoot by other customers, so be mindful of the close proximity if you are not keen on small spaces. There is a small upper portion where non-fiction and reference-style titles are available. While the selection for adult readers is extremely limited, the location does quite well to create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for children and early adolescents.

    What a gem! Ran across this bookstore while on a work trip. Great selection and great suggestions. Definitely worth a stop!

    Nice selection of books. Neat little indie bookstore.

    It was cute local bookstore. There is a good selection with a little bit of everything. We found a book for everyone in our group and a souvenir to bring home. The prices are in line with other shops.

    This is a really well ran bookshop. It might look small, but it looks like they keep 1 copy of everything they sell so that they can maximize how many books available. (Where as Barnes and noble keep all their books ok the shelf, so you might see 10x of one single book. Mitzi's will just have 1 on the shelf) They had the book I was looking for and a few other enticing titles. Highly highly highly recommend stopping in.

    I adore this place and always make sure to visit when in Rapid City. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable! Their book selection is absolutely incredible; I could be in this store for hours.

    This place is a real gem. Good selection of books and great service. Please support your local community book store and buy books here whenever you can. They have some fun and unique non book gift items too.

    It was amazing. I found the perfect books here and everything I was looking for, it was a friendly environment and I enjoyed this store very much. 10/10 recommend and I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in Rapid City!

    The atmosphere of this shop is wonderful. The different decorations make this store so cozy and give it the feel of a fairy tale. The books are a little spendy, but the staff are so friendly and helpful and it's worth it to shop at local businesses

    Love love love! The blind date section is so well done! Love the staff picks and bargain rack too.

    I love an indie bookstore, and I was absolutely charmed by this sweet little shop! They have a great selection of books, even very recent releases, and the staff were friendly. I love supporting small bookstores, and if I lived in Rapid City, I would be here all the time.
