Reviews of Boneshaker Books

Rachel Evans (REvans)

It was great here, I loved the selection! A lot of books you just can't find anywhere else. A nice big queer literature & anarchist section.

Nikolai

Diverse collection of books, a large section of local zines, and a warm atmosphere.

Jennifer Germain

I lived in the Seward neighborhood several years ago, and this was definitely the best part of living there. A beautiful little bookshop with great people.

Alli Tripp

Wonderful small local bookstore run by volunteers, excellent local zines for sale along with all the best books

Chena Lee

Made a mistake of trusting the google store hours. They had not updated on google maps. This is the new one.

Ashley “BiqMama” Cook

Loved this cute lil book store!

Kim Hines

This is a small independent bookstore. It is worth going to check out what books they carry as they do not carry all books. But, the atmosphere is warm and friendly and they have little spots where you can sit and look at or read books. Another aspect of this book store is that they have two rooms, one fairly large that can accommodate a medium sized group of people and the other small for maybe several people... These rooms are usually reserved by people in the community, however they are open to anyone who wants to reserve space. Some people have reserved the space for meetings, others for rehearsals, book clubs, knitting clubs... You get the picture. Oh, the securing of the space is free! The only downside that I can think of is that parking is at a premium. I think the parking lot adjacent to the building can only accommodate three or four customers at a time. Everyone else will have to park on the street, which is at a premium as well. It is worth noting that the Playwrights' Center is directly across the street, so if they have any gatherings or classes and their parking lot cannot handle all of the patrons, you can guarantee the spots on the street will be taken. All in all, it is a small delightful little place to go on a lazy afternoon to chill and check out books.

I am here all the time w/ the Women's Prison Book Project (we have mailings 12-3 on Sundays, feel free to join us!) and I absolutely love this place. The volunteers are the best and the book selection is amazing. Boneshaker is just a fantastic community organizing space and I love going to events and interacting with all of the lovely people and groups that use this space. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Seriously, I adore Boneshaker.

Christian Buchanan

knowledgeable, friendly volunteers that work here, wonderful selection of leftist literature concerning issues of class, race, gender, policing. zine collection is cool too. Boneshaker is doing important work and its one of my favorite places in the twin cities!

Rebecca Froehlich

Well-curated selection of fiction, poetry, and books on current events and theory. I enjoy their $1-5 sale shelf. They do great community outreach as well through the Minnesota Women's Prison Book Project, prison pen-pal outreach, and hosting a lot of events. Definitely worth your support!

Peter Carlson

I love the vibe of this place, but wasn't expecting it to be so small. I found it on a search of the best bookstores in minneapolis. The staff there is very legit. I appreciate the selection of books that are unlikely to be found in a typical bookstore. However, the selection is limited. I still would recommend this to anyone that likes to break out of the ordinary bookstore however.

Eve Marie

Great selection of books. Outdoor tables set up for a great soical distancing shopping experience. If they dont have what you are looking for they are willing to look it up and see if they can find it for you.

Brian Hurst

Lovely little volunteer run bookshop. Good selection of leftist, progressive, and anarchist literature, and good prices. Will definitely be returning here!

Nicola Koh

volunteer run and a great selection of books--including a library of graphic novels. also a good venue for meetings (free with reservation). and they give a lot of great orgs space to work out of

Bennett

What a fantastic bookstore. Found some excellent stuff to read and had a nice chat with the workers (all volunteer!) as well. I was just visiting town and they gave me a kick ass list of things to do that I cherished for the rest of my trip.

You can find unique reads of all kinds and some art (cards) that you won't find anywhere else. However, it needs more energy: more people stopping by, more in-store events, more life in general. Also a bit spendy, which reflects the uniqueness of the material and I'm sure is quite worth it, but I can't personally afford to buy much there.

Megan C

Excellent radical bookstore - completely volunteer run, with an awesome zine inventory and books from small presses that you might have trouble finding elsewhere. A great alternative literature spot in the interesting, historical Seward neighborhood.

Lisa Andrews

If you are looking for the Unusual, this is the place!! Small comfortable spot to browse. A Used book rack and small local homemade booklets on a variety of topics. Could and have spent hours browsing everytime I go to Minneapolis.

Jordan Kim

Helpful, kind, friendly staff. Small (selection) but mighty. Excellent local bookstore.

John Sherrell

This quality community-based bookstore, staffed by volunteers, I rate highly for more then these two admirable qualities. There is no staff trying to sell you anything, simply browse the extensive collection in many categories. The storefront also features comfortable reading chairs available to all and a community meeting room/art gallery which I put to use monthly for my Brain Injury support group/social club B.I.G.

Bought a copy of Hakim Bey's 'Immediatism' for reference on my upcoming engagements in Pipestone & Northfield. They are always so pleasant here & I think the chick in the Disturbed tee with the henna spirallax tatu is so pretty.

Justin Lautenshlager

One of my favorite small book stores. They will order books for you. They also have used books. The staff is friendly

Chavonn Williams Shen
