Reviews
Had a great time checking out The Novel Neighbor. They were utterly packed two days before Christmas, and the store is a narrow labyrinthine place, so it was a bit claustrophobic.
Their selection is wonderful, and they have a ton of non-book items, from tea to dishtowels, board games to soaps.
I picked up some enamel pins for my bookbag and an item for a white elephant gift exchange.
The staff were just wonderful, so personable, taking the time to visit with each person and help anyone who needed it.
Sorry if this might be a misleading review. I actually went for a book signing, so I am only commenting on that aspect of the establishment. I have no input regarding the books they do or don't carry, their policies, or usual business operations. With that disclaimer out of the way, here we go. I would have given five stars except for their very odd parking lot. Visitors be ware, you actually need to enter the lot from the opposite corner of the building and go down behind the building in order to get into the lot. Other than that oddity, the book signing was a smashing success. This is the second book in the series, and both signings were held here. The employees were friendly & knowledgeable. They seemed to have things fairly well organized & it was a comfortable temperature inside even with a large crowd of people. This seems to be a nice, snooty free, non-judgmental establishment.
The cutest little bookstore with competitive pricing to online retailers. The vibe was great, even during the busy holiday season - I went gift shopping there right before Christmas - and I found the pricing was pretty similar to online retailers, especially when you consider shipping charges. Plus you get to support a local bookstore! Will be shopping here again!
This place was so cute! Not only a bunch of beautiful books, but also adorable merch. Including t-swift merch! There were a lot of fun nooks and crannies here, as well as unique displays. I liked the wall of the staff's favorite books!
We loved our visit here! The staff were very friendly and I liked that there were staff recommendations for books in each section. The books all were latest editions and we kept commenting on how nice they were. We bought some books that we actually already owned because we loved the new covers.
There are lots of other knick knacks and gifts here to buy as well. I especially liked the section with coffee mugs and tea. We signed up for their rewards program which was nice for them to have!
This St. Louis bookstore is a standout favorite of mine. I appreciate the diverse selection of gift items they offer, the wide variety of book, the amazing special events they host, their commitment to supporting local businesses, and the exceptionally friendly staff.
I just bought myself a holiday gift box from The Novel Neighbor, and had it shipped to my home in suburban Detroit. After following the store’s social media accounts and listening to their book recommendations, it was fun to actually purchase something from them! The gift box did not disappoint - I’m thrilled!
Best bookstore for 100s of miles, no exaggeration. Makes me wish my ADHD wouldn't have destroyed my attention span. Staff knows their stuff. Absolute destination.
