This is literally the best place in Minneapolis and one of the only reasons to go to Dinktown anymore (RIP... I'm bitter and jaded). The staff is so kind and helpful. The stairs take you into another dimension where any book you can imagine appears on the shelves. It is quiet and peaceful and just what any book lover/worm needs in their life. Amazon can try their hardest, but nothing can stop The Book House in Dinkytown. Support local business and you will be rewarded handsomely (with a yellow punch card!)

Qhat a cool used book store! The staff was friendly, helpful and worked hard at answering our questions. A pretty good verity and good prices. They had cool chairs to sit and read in.

The best book store in the Twin Cities for nonfiction. Don't go in looking for something specific, just walk in with an open mind and you'll walk out with a stack of amazing books. Staff are friendly and helpful!

Greatly enjoyed my visit to this bookstore, the staff was wonderfully helpful in helping me attempt to find a few specific books and the books were reasonably priced. I was especially happy with the large Natural History and Ecology section.

I was amused by the sorting of the books meant for readers with perhaps questionable tastes, where the four sections were sorted into “Smut / Filth / Sleaze / Erotica”

One common theme i’ve noticed in many small bookstores is the prevalence of communist literature, while I do not necessarily disagree with it, it’s an interesting trend between stores. Would’ve enjoyed talking to the staff about their opinions but ran out of time, perhaps on my next visit.

Free books on cart in street, enjoyed browsing them as well.

Today was my very first visit. I should have been there long time ago. I was impressed by the selection and quality of chess books. More importantly, I was impressed by the kindess and helpfulness of the bookseller. He was very polite even before opening the store! I felt like I was visiting family: very welcome. I loved the cozy atmosphere of the store. Put another way, if I could give The Book House five HUNDRED stars, it would make my grade more accurate. Thank you.

Super cute used bookstore in Dinkytown with a large selection of books. They had a cart of free books outside on the sidewalk, and the upstairs is like a maze which is super fun.
