Next Chapter Booksellers

My friend and I went to this adorable and beautiful shop for an author event. The booksellers were welcoming and helpful. The other shoppers were friendly. The book selection was varied, well-organized, and beautifully presented. I will ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND that you go visit this wonderful place.

Clean, dreamy bookstore. Pricey end but its worth a visit! I love their manga selection. Great book selection. The staff are helpful.

Terrific independent bookstore with a thoughtful selection of titles, and helpful staff. I used to live a block from Storied Owl at Randolph and Cleveland during its few years of existence, and was heartbroken when they closed. Next Chapter readily fills the void, and then some. I keep finding so many interesting treasures, that my 'to-read' book tree is groaning underneath their weight as I work my way through them.

Welcoming, comfortable, fabulous selection including books by local authors. One of my favorite things is the way staff picks are presented. Such a variety and the insights are thoughtful and offer enough depth to have an accurate feel for a book. I read a bunch and one stood out as highlighting a pace and aesthetic I prefer, so started reading and immediately connected. It's fantastic when a bookstore is really about introducing guests to stories! Had a great conversation during checkout. Thank you, Next Chapter, I'll be back.

A very inclusive and welcoming bookstore just across the street from Macalester. They have a well curated selection of books to peruse. According to their website they host a few book clubs, including a manga bookclub for all the Twin City otakus out there. Apparently (I cannot confirm as I did not actually bear witness) there is a cat named Honya that dozes in various places throughout the store as well.
