Eat My Words Bookstore

Cute used bookstore in the Northeast neighborhood!I went in just to browse and found that they have a very well organized selection of books. I specifically browsed the sci-fi, fantasy and YA sections, but also appreciated the graphic novels, handmade pottery and old bound books. The store clerk was friendly, and the store was just a short walk from other local spots. Easy street parking is available. The two paperback books I purchased which were both in "very good" condition were $5 each (and they took credit cards).

Such an enormous selection to choose from! I spent well over an hour here browsing the shelves and checking out pottery and other such items from local artists that have displays in the front. There's a little area with couches that I crashed on with a book for a bit and other chairs scattered about inviting customers to slow down. The owner is super knowledgeable about the stuff he has in the store and it was great to hear the conversations from the regulars. Not that I was eavesdropping, but you could definitely tell that Eat, Pray, Love was not a huge winner with them. One of the best bookstores the Twin Cities has to offer.

I've been to more bookstores than I can count, but Eat My Words is definitely in my top three. I visited not long after I moved to Minnesota, and I'm so happy I found this place! Huge selection of books in a quiet place, so it's nice for browsing and skimming before you decide if you want to buy something. Their fiction section is phenomenal, and everything is priced cheaper than you'd find online (except the limited edition or rare, old copies of certain books). I found a signed copy of Justice Sotomayor's biography for $8! They also have a little box at the front with free stuff that comes out of the books (random letters, bookmarks, etc.) and stock cool local literature/art. I overheard the owner telling some customers that one of the magazines was a project of his friend's who teaches a writing class to developmentally disabled people in the area.The owner is also super friendly and helpful without making you feel bad for wandering around for hours. Felt very at home in this bookstore; will be coming back soon and often

Nice bookstore in NE Minneapolis neighborhood, full of books and pottery to actually feel before buying. Comfy chair to sit down in and check the books out. I love this neighborhood local bookstore (just wish it were closer to my house so I could bike ride here). Eat My Words Bookstore was active in the 13th Avenue Halloween celebration, donating children's books with the candy. Way to go EMWB, encourage another generation of readers!

Great prices, interesting selection! It's definitely the kind of neighborhood bookstore you hit when you want to wander and be surrounded by old book smell.

I love this charming bookstore with a great selection of new, used, and rare books. I could spend hours here, browsing shelves and sitting in cozy reading nooks. A hidden gem in every sense.

There is nothing I love more than finding a hidden gem like this book store. My family and I were visiting from out of town, helping my sister move into her new home. We had a little down time and decided to check out a few used book stores. I walked in and felt transported back in time. I LOVED the locals section, with people from the area having the opportunity to showcase their books and art. (This particularly found a special place in my heart because my sister is at the U getting her masters in Fine Arts). I found a great book, a great chair, and a great breeze flowing through one of the open doors. I could've easily stayed all day and gotten lost in the magic that surrounded me.

This is one the coolest bookstores I've visited in awhile. Local artists tend to be displayed and there are community events. It's a pleasure just to browse and see the beautiful covers of days gone by in the world of publishing. Some books are collectors items and are very pricey. Most are more than reasonable and there is a particularly good selection of hobbies and music including sheet music on top of a piano in the backroom, and yes you may play the piano. The owner is a book lover and it shows and he'll talk about any subject and the books related, you have to love people and knowledge to run a business like this. We actually found Picasso cook book of all the strange things.

This place is really cool! A lot of older vintage books. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars because there wasn't any music or much noise so it felt a little awkward searching for books, like I was on the top floor of a library lol. But I'd definitely come back!

I went to the grand opening. I'd say this is a med. size, not ridiculously small or half-price large. Book cases are in neat rows, and labeled. They have one double row of Agatha Christie and a full single row of Rex Stout. They have a good variety and selection of most genres. So in general it's used books but they'll carry new local authors, which is the perfect combo. I introduced myself to Scott, the owner. This will be a good double destination. A block away you'll be able to check out your new purchases at Maeve's, and have a meal at the Anchor. Since there aren't any restaurants on the 2nd St. block, on street parking is not a problem.
