Your cashier asked him to leave because of a shirt of his and the meaning behind the band name and I'm absolutley appalled a book store , a source of knowledge , would turn someone away because of that.

Caitie Larson

Probably my favorite bookstore yet! Go straight to the back for the zines , there's some radical stuff in there!

Karen

Quite small, but cozy bookstore . Find the nook and sit and read for a little bit.

Adam Hickey

Take your time browsing , reading a book , and checking in on staff recommendations.

Grahm Wiley-Camacho

Great for non-fiction, some children's books in the back.

David Jenks

The place to go if you're looking for counterculture books . Polite staff , though!

Nate Ellis

good anarchist selection-yet to see elsewhere.

Caitlin Williams

Be prepared to be asked to leave if someone working doesnt like your shirt that has no profanity on it and only references a band.

Matt Bruce

Serious collection of books

Blaine Garrett

Check out the zine rack. Lots of Mpls authors/artists.

Jason Edwards

Browse the zines . Buy something written by a local writer for less than 5 bucks.
