This store is exactly what I’ve been waiting for locally! No one is doing it like they are! They have an amazing selection of new/used books from all genres. They even have a selection of books for the kiddos. You can even special order a book here, if they don’t have it in stock. Cutest selection of bookish items a like. They have something for every one here! You cannot beat their prices. It’s heaven on earth for a book worm like me. The owners are super sweet, friendly people! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this bookery, because it’s already amazing. 100000/10 highly recommend.

LOVE LOVE LOVE our local independent book store. Yes, it's small. BUT the family that runs it are just the absolute best. They have the best recommendations based on any genre you're looking for (I've been introduced to things I love that I never would have considered). I have spent HOURS there browsing and chatting. It's honestly the place I go when I'm having a bad day and need a little "pick-me-up".

Such a nice indie bookstore! Great selection of new and used books. Reasonable prices and the owner is super friendly and helpful! I highly recommend visiting here in Marion or their new location in Bucyrus.

Love this place and the people who run the stores. They take care of the Marion and Bucyrus stores. They can help you order a book that you'd like to read. The have all kinds of books from kids, teens, and mystery and thrillers. You can also gain points for buying and ordering books. Then you can use the points on your next purchase. The have coffee cups, stickers, and some cute little things. We definitely needed a book store like this in Marion. So greatful for the owners opening these places. ❤️

Stopped in to Birch Tree to pick up The Ballad of Falling Dragons by Sarah A. Parker after being unsuccessful in finding it anywhere else and being too impatient to wait for it to come in the mail. I saw it posted on the store facebook page and was really hoping for the best and was pleasantly surprised. The new location is very cute!! I loved the section for local authors and how the store was set up, decor and table/shelving wise. They have both a new and used book section with plenty of different genre’s. The employee at the register was very nice and explained the rewards program to me. I appreciated how she asked if I needed help only once and let me browse at my own pace without interrupting me every 30 seconds like some stores do. Glad I stopped in today and glad you still had the book I was after in stock! I will be returning! :)
