The Printed Garden

Far and away my favorite bookstore in the valley! The used books are always in fantastic condition for a fair price. They also offer plenty new and popular titles at market price. The entire back wall is dedicated to collectible editions. I've never left empty-handed. Forgive me, I'm not sure of the man's name, but he's so friendly and knowledgeable. He even told my husband he would look out for particular editions of the books he's looking for. This place is truly a gem for bibliophiles!

I was a bit disappointed coming here. Before getting to the negative, this is what I liked: Their kids' selection is great, and that's the best part of the store. Everything was priced well too and their service was amazing, enough to make me feel a little bad about posting a bad review... What I didn't like was how unorganized the store was. The books were loosely grouped by genre, but that's it. Nothing was in order - everything was just scattered randomly and it made it really tiresome to find something specific. They also didn't have an inventory system to check if they have a specific book. These are REALLY important things to have in a bookstore, but they failed there. The selection was also pretty poor and random. They had some of the big, trending books, but everything else was random or obscure. Overall, I'd recommend going to another used bookstore. This just can't compete with other bookstores in the area and is very lackluster. It's a rural bookstore in a large city.

No words needed. This place is incredible. But to be specific, it’s an adventure every time I go. I never know what the selection is going to be, and I just get to browse until something catches my eye. And because the pricing is affordable, I never have to turn away a book on the chance I would have buyers remorse.

The person running the register has always been incredibly helpful and kind. He will help source specific books if he doesn’t have a copy in store. I really love visiting this bookstore.

This bookstore is our family's favorite. The owner is so gracious and is always willing to help us find whatever book we are looking for. Highly recommend!

Lovely Bookstore supporting local authors. The owner is very knowledgeable. Great quaint atmosphere. Just love it!

Lovely bookstore with a great selection and excellent management. As an avid reader who has bought everything from the Printed Garden from graphic novels (I recommend "The Ghost Keeper" by Johanna Taylor) and comic books (you can't go wrong with "Wallace the Brave" by Will Henry) to indie novels (I've most recently picked up "Max in the Capital of Spies" by Steve Capone) and the unclassifiable (technically "The Storyteller's Handbook" by Elaine Hurst has a classification, I'm just drawing a blank right now) I can confidently say that this book store is awesome. It stocks an excellent selection (or can get anything you want pretty fast) and Aaron really knows his stuff if you need help finding your next great read. As a local author myself, the Printed Garden is so good at engaging with the community, hosting events, and just generally supporting us local artists who are living on a nickle and a dream. Ten out of ten, would recommend.
