Went to buy the first Harry Potter book (yeah, I'm a bit behind on it). The gal in the help section did a great job of pointing to their location, I'm sure standing up and walking the 12 ft while she was doing nothing would have killed her...but hey, it happens.
Nice store, large variety, staff is hit or miss...last experience left me less than impressed:
Great selection of books. Super friendly service. And the bargain book section is the best!
Brilliant idea - if you're a brick & mortar store who wants to stay in business, and you know what items sell fast and are likely priced with decent margin, invest some capital in those products and keep them in-stock (unless losing easy sales is in your operating budget, which it could be, this place has been here for a long time). I went outside to my bike and had a copy bought in under 3 mins from a ridiculously random seller on my phone - meaning it wasn't some juggernaut who flexes buying power from publishers and that's why they had copies and not Magers.
Amazing selection of books in all genres and categories. It’s always cool to look at the collectibles and first pressings they have.
Magers & Quinn has vast selection of books, many of them masterpieces of literature. Love that they offer both cheap paperbacks and collectible editions, and even have fun author events. Uptown would not be the same without this bookseller.
I went to the bookshelf, looked thru the options, and told her I couldn't find It. She said "yeah, it's probably sold out, we go thru the first three often." They apparently don't have an inventory system to verify this against (?), just her own knowledge as she didn't offer to check anything...ok then. As I walk out, the front desk guy (much friendlier) asks if I had any luck, I said they didn't appear to have the first Harry Potter in - same thing: "Yeah, we sell those fast."
I was looking to spend more from a local shop (we all know buying books online is cheaper) and wasn't able to do so - I mean, they didn't even offer to order it and let me know when it would be in. They just let me walk out and spend money elsewhere. Makes sense: I was buying the first of, what, seven books? Which means they'll lose 7 purchases from me for this series alone (why would I go back to buy the others from them?).
Great selection of all kinds of odd and cool books. I love their discount cart on the sidewalk it's fun to rummage through.
