"Always make a stop when I'm in town. Great book selection, knowledgeable and helpful staff. This is *the* independent bookstore to find in Iowa."

"Great bit of family fun: always amazed at how much kids love the art projects."

"Santa Express: a great idea, struggled this year with technical problems and communication between the volunteers. Will be back next year, though."

"Great service, helpful owner. Was very straightforward about the effort it took to clean a vacuum cleaner; the cost was in line with his estimate. Highly recommended."

"Even works for a quick dinner."

"Great place to find kids' costumes for Halloween. Great selection - including some hand sewn items - and a very helpful staff."
