So wonderful to have an independently owned bookstore in the area! The store itself is charming, with lots of cute gifts in addition to all the wonderful books. They host various author events as well as seasonal activities. I'm in one of their book clubs and it's been so wonderful! The store owner and employees do a great job of hosting and facilitating book club, and book club members get 15% off the next month's book! Such a lovely store. Always a sale/ discounted section, too, especially relevant for seasonal items, you can definitely find some gems there.

Small, locally owned independent book store in EDH Town Center. Great location, easy to find parking. The employees greeted us when we arrived but also allowed us space to walk around and look at the various book selections.You can definitely find more than books here! They have journals, pens, bookmarks, jewelry, and toys! Very impressed with their children's collection (so many great Titles/Authors/Subjects/Genres) for little ones.The store is very well maintained and I cannot wait to come back to use my gift certificate!

Independent owned bookstore right in El Dorado Town Center on Post Street. Yay!! You do not see a lot of those around anymore. The shop is bright, cheery, clean, and well organized. Cutely decorated in a modern farmhouse style. The books were grouped by topics. The selection was current and relevant. My favorite sections were non-fiction history, current fictional bestsellers, and cookbooks. They were located near the front door. The children's books are in the back by the windows. The tweens and young adult books were in the back right room. They sell also a small selection of mugs, greeting cards, games, puzzles, and women's accessories... various knickknacks without being tacky. The books and other items were not outrageously priced. The pricing was on par to other retail big box shop like the one located across the parking lot. Shop small. They can order books as well for you. Right when you walk in the front door, there is a table offering complimentary face masks, bacterial wipes, and sanitizing lotion. There is a sign requesting unvaccinated customers to wear a mask; which is a normal request for all businesses around here. The shopkeeper was wearing a mask out of courtesy. She was so pleasant to talk to and had the best attitude. She had a genuine sense of joy. The best thing about local bookstores are the events and how they connect the community together. Check out their website to view all the upcoming author book readings and signings. Their July calendar is pretty full. They will begin the Read to the Dog event again, set for August 29, but check their website for updates. Corgis Emma and Bryn will be back for the young readers/kiddos. I got to unexpectedly met them on my shopping excursion. Too darn cute! Shop small local. Community. Www.getyourfaceinabook.com

Such a cute bookstore, clean and bright, with a great assortment of books for all ages. There was a shelf of board books which is the only thing I currently give my toddler. Lots of really cute stationary, bags, cards, bookmarks, puzzles. I got a stuffed cat bookmark that will make the perfect gift for a cat lover. There a group of writers having a meeting during the time we visited which was interesting.

Been here a few times now and rarely walk away without a few books. Not a large store but I usually find something I didn't know about.Staff is super nice and helpful. They also do not over help which is also nice. Coming inside this local independent bookstore is always relaxing.Mostly books but there are also some trinkets, masks, jewelry, and other nice finds.

What an awesome independent bookstore!I have looked books since I was a child and I love little bookstores like this. Right along the main street of El Dorado Town Center sits this hidden gem! You can park right in front, down the street, or in the lot depending on how far you want to walk. Upon entering, I was quickly greeted by the wonderful smell of books and the sweet lady behind the counter. The books are organized by genre with a stand in the front displaying staff top picks. Around the back corner are more and more books! There are some places to sit as well. The store is clean and prices are reasonable. During normal years, I believe they have book clubs and signings as well. I can't wait to come back to add my collection of books, attend some signings and events, and continue to support local shops like this.

I recently revisited this quaint little book shop and had to update with my continued thanks for this local literary resource. Face in a Book lives up to its name because there is little chance you will leave here without a precious new book to stare at continually. I give props to the ownership. The store is thoughtfully laid out with a wonderful, eclectic selection. I especially like the new fiction and travel books - both of which them have a good selection of. They are nice and helpful, too. If you have any questions, be sure to pose them and lean on the employees for answers to your many book-related questions. It is a small bookstore and most of the titles are newer, or at least new editions, so expect it to cost a little more than the used bookstores you'd find downtown. I think it's well worth it and will always be a returning customer.

Super cute store, but the puzzle we got was missing a piece. Exchanges are only valid with a receipt, even if we have the card the purchase was made with. Very unfortunate.

Have always loved this place. And with the pandemic, they're really on it - sanitizing every book a customer touches is going above and beyond, and makes me really happy to shop here and support them. Great selection and friendly staff, too, which is why I normally like it so much.

Extremely small collection bookstore with extremely small minded staff who are rude, mean spirited and entitled. I am all for supporting small businesses but man this small business with small minded staff does not deserve my support. So so rude.
