The staff are kind, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. They take the time to get to know you beyond what kind of books you want. The recommendations are stellar. A wide selection of autographed books! They set up amazing author events with great authors! The events are always well organized and its so easy to go through the signing/photo line. Its easy to see why they've been here for more than 150 years!

A fun bookstore with every title you can imagine. I loved the different book set ups in the kids area. They also have a train station table which my daughter loves. My only feedback is I wish they had more areas to sit down and read a few of the books. My toddler brought back a stack of books she wanted to flip through. We made it work and found a spot on the floor. I highly recommend Anderson's, I can't wait to be back solo to check out other titles.

Super cute book store with signing nights often. I was there for the first time for one and loved the atmosphere. The staff were rockstars and the parking was not bad. Street parking with a full but free lot around the corner. Reasonable prices and a great variety.

A great bookstore, locked in a perfect place. I came here accidentally for an author's meeting with Wendy Moss and I was enchanted by this place, atmosphere and how professional staff work here. It will definitely come here more than once because the assortment is very rich here.

Love this place. Love that is has been family-owned forever. Its an adorable little shop with helpful and knowledgeable staff. They will order whatever you need that is not on the shelves. A place worthy of being supported!

I came from out of town to attend the 03 Sept book signing for Christine Brown with my mom. Though we weren’t there specifically to shop, the store itself was lovely. It was clean, tidy, well-stocked, and bigger on the inside than it appeared from the street. They had a wide selection of books from what we could tell as we made our way through the lines. All of the staff we encountered were friendly, helpful, and welcoming as well. They kept to the line numbering as promised in the event directions, which limited the chaos of a sold out event. Very much appreciated! The store made the whole experience very pleasant :)

Have loved the is bookstore since moved to the area in 2003. I’ve since moved to AZ - bit in visit the area a minimum of twice a year and I always shop each and every visit. I still maintain my membership as well - I love that I can purchase from your stone on line as well - especially for gift giving. Your author events are always amazing - when my sons were small we would attend to meet their favorite authors. Thank you for encouraging everyone to read - and for having the diversity to appeal to all tastes!

The best bookstore for miles around - so good, in fact, that we make the drive from Rockford specifically to go there. The selection is fantastic - special editions, signed editions, books you've never heard of but can't live without! The staff is great, we are never disappointed when we come here.

Fantastic bookstore. I got a signed edition of Patti Smith's memoir bread of angels. This is a great bookstore with a lot of cool notebooks and all kinds of things. Definitely one of my favorites. Excellent staff and great service.
