Reviews of Content Bookstore

Nikki Lamberty

Such personalized service - you need or want something, they get it for you and save it for you until you can pick it up! The best of everything in our hometown bookstore! Thank you, Jessica!!!

Stefani Wilkinson

Absolutely wonderful toy store in the back! I love searching for quality toys and books, and the selection here blew me away. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was collecting items for a customer who called in to request unicorn themed toys for a birthday party - great service to keep in mind as she definitely knows her stuff. There is also a website we will make use of as we are not local. Check this place out - fun for kids and kids-at-heart!

Elizabeth Johnson

I was so excited to see how many LGBTQ+ books they had out during pride month. Not just one section, they had them dispersed and displayed throughout the store which was wonderful. And the staff was so friendly and helpful. I will 100% buy from them again!

This place is a GEM! It was an impromptu visit as I had come to town for another store nearby and to my misfortune, they were about 10 minutes from closing. I would have loved to have more time to look around. From what I DID see though, I will be back and update this review.

This was a cute little bookstore. Went in before closing so I didn't have a lot of time to look. Next time I am in town I will come back.

Riley Babcock

Everyone is so nice. 10/10 best bookstore in the area!!

Laura Goering

Fantastic bookstore with knowledgeable, friendly staff. They helped me pick out books for my four grandchildren, then wrapped them individually, gave me gift tags to fill out, and shipped them off for less than I would have paid at the post office. When I buy books for myself, I give them very specific criteria and they give me great recommendations. This store is a gem!

Amy M.

I love supporting independent bookstores!! They are a cute shoppe with an incredible collection!

Michael Goodwin

Nice friendly small town bookstore. A lil' on the pricey side though.

John Watkins

Went to larger bookstore for recent book that was released. They didn't have it and only 1 on the way. Went to Content Bookstore next day. They not only knew exactly where a copy was in store, it was a signed copy! As always check local first, might be surprised. Staff is always helpful and the store has a large kids section as well.

I love this bookstore and visit as often as I can. My only reason for not giving it a 5 is that as a customer-it feels non inclusive to anybody who is not left leaning. I wish there were not only stickers of democratic female politicians and fauci but also republicans who are well established. Amy Coney Barret could easily go on a sticker and even if you don’t approve of people liking her-some of your customers do. I understand that it’s privately owned and you likely want to represent only your values but it does feel very unwelcoming when only certain products are sold from one political bent. It just feels exclusive. And bad. Now I have had this issue with other places and the response is usually “find a bookstore that sells what you want instead.” Which would be Barnes and noble or Amazon. I truly want to support the little guy and shop around the corner but it seems they only want to include one side. I would happily support any business ALL THE MORE if they had more diversity of thought. Just my two cents.

So nice to have a locally owned bookstore close by! I've ordered books on Content's website, browsed the store for new reads, and picked out gifts for my children in the lovely & large children's section.

Thomas Bergs

This place is amazing! They recently expanded the children's section back in the spring and have done an excellent job incorporating various kids books, games, activity resources and a few cool toys that aren't the typical cheap junk. I also love how they arrange and display their featured literary gems; it is a visual feast! My kids (10 and 6) spent 2 hours just perusing, playing and reading today. There is so much to browse on their shelves that I could sit for hours. Long live these beautiful local bookstores!

Elizabeth Behr

I’m a Content shopper for life! The staff go above and beyond to be helpful and kind, and are so knowledgeable. The store is always cozy and immaculate, and they’ve got great new titles on display every time I stop in. Recently I was walking my dog and just happened to have a book to pick up as well. I called to see if they could bring my prepaid book out, and they did! Along with dog treats for my companion, which was just so thoughtful. If that’s not enough, they have a great rewards program too. Six stars!

Nicollette Gregor

It was wonderful! So much to look at and a variety of books as well as little knick knacks.

Aaron Fauver

Very beautiful bookstore!! Its small but cozy, provides a real nice selection of books!! Staff was super friendly!!

rose moravec

Lots of books and puzzles. Staff friendly and helpful.

Laura Kohn

I love buying books here because the selection is amazing for all genres. The versions of books are beautiful. I've bought a lot of gifts here!

amantastic

Looked like a nice book store…couldn’t find the door to get in.

Samantha Unicorn

Fantastic bookstore in the heart of Northfield. Fully stocked shelves of every genre, from the best sellers that are being raved about to less trendy choices that pack an equal punch. Well organized, many books with helpful descriptions from the staff who loved them. The children’s area in the back will keep kids occupied for hours, full of constructive games, books, and playthings that will make them forget their phones while you push online booksellers to the back burner. You’ll definitely leave here with a book (or three... or six...)

Angella Hanson

Nice, privately owned bookshop in the heart of Northfield. Visited on Small Business Saturday. The store is shaped like an L, with registers, adult and teen books, puzzles and little gifts and candies set up along the long arm of the L, children's toys and books were set up along the short arm of the L, in the back of the store. Two registers were set up in an attempt to social distance. Store was neat and well organized. "Recommended Reads" signs were peppered thought the store, though a bit small and hard to read. Social Distancing was difficult, due to the long slender shape of the store. Everyone wore masks.

Erik Gawtry

Friendly enthusiastic staff. Neat artsy store. Not a lot of selection though.

Steven Lawler

This is the small bookstore you've dreamed of. Featured in a Hallmark Christmas movie, for goodness' sake! Jessica, Nate, and their whole crew are the best. I've shopped here for years, and have had nothing but top-notch experiences every time.

TtheWriter

Nice people, nice store. The staff is wonderful, kind, knowledgeable and very accommodating. The sections are nicely labeled and there's plenty of graphic novels from people you've never heard of. The store is small so the selection is a bit limited, but they'll happily order anything you ask for an call you when it comes in. They have joke items against President Trump and other politicians piled around their register. If they'd keep politics like that out of their product lineup, this would be a perfect 10 of a store. I go there as often as I can to find something fun to read. :)

Ella Borchert

Honestly has the best selection of books out of any bookstore I’ve ever went to. I kept finding book after book that I wanted to read. Really great shop, I’m excited to visit again soon!

Bonnie Wilcox

Such a great bookstore! And today, I discovered the kids' section. What a great resource for families and readers of all ages.

Kent Freeze

Excellent bookstore with lots of events. A great contribution to the cultural life of Northfield. The new kids area is also great with a good selection of children's toys. They also have a good selection of boardgames, including a lot of newer German style games.

Anastasia Stier

I could get lost in this store. Though it isn't really large (even with their recent expansion), there is so much to browse and enjoy within a comfortable atmosphere. If you can't find a particular book, they will order it for you. I love this little place.

Sydney Warner

The atmosphere is very zen, and the workers are so helpful! I had questions about some beeswax crayons and while they did not have personal experience with them they did research about them and looked up reviews for me so I would have a better idea about the product. Very fun place to be!

Kallie Rollenhagen

I visit a lot of bookstores, and this is one of the best, as you would expect in a town with two of Minnesota's best liberal arts colleges. They have primarily new books, although on occasion we've found a used book of poetry. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and they host a lot of great book readings and other events. They just moved into a new space that is much more spacious and very comfortable.

Alex Galt

I ordered a Boredom Buster for my mom, and got a box full of books that are totally perfect for her. It was so fun, and dropping off the books outside wearing a mask was the highlight of my week. She wants to read them all!

Marya Stebbins

Absolutely the best bookstore. Everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable.

Christopher Morgan

Great space. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who are willing to order anything you don’t find. Young reader section is large and diverse. This is a regular stop for us as the inventory rotates often sometimes with themes. Intelligent fun.

Katie Bergeson

A great variety of books. Great selection of unique and brain engaging toys for all ages of children! Wonderful book store.

Ruth Block

I have a 5 year old grandson and found plenty of gems for his Easter basket! And then I shopped for myself...two novels totally for fun!

Ann Iijima

Lovely locally-owned bookstore and toy store. Lots for big and little folks, wonderful stocking stuffers. Friendly staff. Good COVID-19 policies

Martin Patrick

Nice little local bookshop. Kind of a small storefront so it's not a huge selection but I like it a lot. Good, knowledgeable, friendly staff. And you can trust me, I'm a librarian.

This is the brick and mortar bookstore you hope to find in every downtown you visit, yet rarely do. A totally satisfying way to spend an hour or two. Support treasures like rhis!

Lilly Bakker

Omg the cutest book store ever 🥲 I love all the staff reviews hanging around the store and their selection is 💯💯💯 …

Jean Wakely

Best little bookstore around! There is a book club on every street corner, and ConTent keeps all of us reading good literature. Love the mingle of old and new books together. Just Ask! They will find it!

Cynthia Gilbertson

Content is a wonderful independent bookstore selling both new and used books right in the heart of historic Northfield, MN. Take a break from the mega-stores and come enjoy Content's friendly, helpful service, wide range of products (from the best-sellers you expect to the surprises that reward you for browsing), and light, comfortable atmosphere.

Allison Blazek

Lovely, classic bookstore where you can quietly browse in peace, and not get harassed by cashiers trying to get you a credit card or join some rewards club.

Paul Vandyke

Wonderful to have a quality independent bookstore in Northfield. The poetry gumball machine is awesome!

Jeremy Lenz

Wonderful store with a wide array of adult and kid options. My 5.5 and 4 year olds spent over an hour here the last time we went.

Andy T.

Small and thoughtfully curated. It's the perfect antidote for online booksellers. Great for graphic novel and YA recommendations!

Kris Vatter

Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. A wide assortment of books and clever gifts.

Martin Fischer Nielsen

Visited the place in 2017, when I visited my girlfriend, whom went to Carleton College. Superior service minded staff, and a huge satisfying selection. A place worth visiting, if you are dropping by.

Matthew Wehling

Indie bookstores rock, and this is one of the rockingest. Not that it's loud, it's quite calm, serene, no pressure, with a great we'll informed staff.

Thomas West

Best bookstore in Minnesota. Excellent selection of books on witchcraft.

Maia Steward

This store has a fabulous curated collection of books from a fabulously smart and talented owner!

Good books but the sections are a little too broad and could definitely be sorted in an easier-to-find fashion. Fair prices.

I loved this cute little bookstore. They had a variety of new releases as well as older ones. I love the bookshelves here they're so aesthetically & organized by genres. Price were fair & I found even cheaper than big stores. Also have a rewards program, which I think is awesome, it justifies me spending more on books. Will be my new spot for book buying!
