Midway Used & Rare Books

This is a great spot to find used and some new books, or comics. The main entrance is wheelchair accessible, there may be an elevator inside. There are isles and isles of books, and locked cases too. It's much like that described in a book. There is a free comic book corner after you buy a book too. I think in all there are three floors. If you're going to go plan to take the whole day! It is well lit inside.

Great selection of old books and signed copies. Upstairs they have regular fiction, and you can find books that might be popular now, otherwise most of the selection are older. The basement has discounted comics, magazines, some artwork, and some books/movies. I’ve been going here for over 10 years and always leave with something. Just don’t go with a TBR list, go with an open mind.

Great used bookstore with a really nice comic selection. I am new to the area, this will be a regular stop for me when I am in the area. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Looking forward to exploring more next time I visit.

I’ve shopped here several times and am a resident of the neighborhood. The store is cluttered and hard to move through. Many of the books are older and out of date reference works. I also don’t think that they have a good feel for the community. They have songs in their window claiming that they are a safe haven of intellectualism in a desert of city blight. Fine. Whatever in its own. But that combined with their shotty attitude toward many of our neighbors and desire to push out our homeless without resources into solving underlying problems is pretty distasteful.

Friday, December 19th at 1:00 PM, You wouldn’t believe the horrible customer service that I just got on the phone from midway books in Saint Paul. I called and asked if they had a certain Time magazine issue and I was very clear on the date. The jerk on the other line said "no. I’m not going down to the basement and check, come here yourself!" Most likely it was the hippy guy on the other end of the line. Horrible service. I am very disappointed!

This place is awesome! Wife and I stumbled upon this store by surprise and it did not disappoint. So many book options and it has 2 floors! I highly recommend coming here they have so many older books.

Dont let this unassuming store front fool you. This is one of the best comic book stores I have been to. There are literally 1000's of comics. Not only are there comics but shelves of other cool books, too. Check it out. You'll be glad you did!
