Next Chapter Booksellers

Welcoming, comfortable, fabulous selection including books by local authors. One of my favorite things is the way staff picks are presented. Such a variety and the insights are thoughtful and offer enough depth to have an accurate feel for a book. I read a bunch and one stood out as highlighting a pace and aesthetic I prefer, so started reading and immediately connected. It's fantastic when a bookstore is really about introducing guests to stories! Had a great conversation during checkout. Thank you, Next Chapter, I'll be back.

A very inclusive and welcoming bookstore just across the street from Macalester. They have a well curated selection of books to peruse. According to their website they host a few book clubs, including a manga bookclub for all the Twin City otakus out there. Apparently (I cannot confirm as I did not actually bear witness) there is a cat named Honya that dozes in various places throughout the store as well.

Find your next great reading experience here. If you don't know what you're seeking, check out the staff recommendations, or ask one of the knowledgeable employees!

The book displays are grouped in ways that are aesthetically pleasing and highlight books you might not find at chain stores for example. However I did end up buying a book here that I had first seen at Barnes & Noble, the price was comparable and I much rather support indie bookstores. The staff was cordial and the vibe was welcoming, I would return.

Charming local bookstore. Loved all the staff recommendations and the way they highlight indie publishers and authors. Used great restraint and only bought two, but could have easily chosen more from their delightful selections.

This store has a great selection. I like that is I want to browse they didn't bother me but if i have a question they are ready and help me

No used books. They do have air conditioning. It’s somewhat hard to find street parking here.
