It's hard for me to pay full price for books when they are almost always available cheaper on Amazon. But Bookpeople inspires me to pay full price. First of all, the store is super browser friendly, quiet, and has a very helpful and knowledgable staff. The cards and gift section is great. The childrens section is great. The magazines section is the largest I've ever seen and has a better variety than any chain store. If you live in Austin, you should be shopping here.

Barnes and Noble? Borders? Blah! If you live in Austin, it is your patriotic duty to patronize Book People, Austin's Heart of Books. They have a well trained and knowledgeable staff, a great selection of books (and magazines, my favorite), and a gigantic children's section that includes more than corporate-licensed character crap-stories. They're also a good source for gifts: notebooks, incense, religious icons, some toys, games and kitch. Go buy a book!

Book People is easily the best book store I have ever been to. The staff is excellent and instantly knows where the book you're looking for is and they can special order anything if they do not have it in stock. They have wonderful special events for releases and have a great children's section.

What a great area- right next to the Whole Foods playground, Seatle's Best Coffee, and tons of other shopping and fun. Book People Book Store is so much fun for your kids... Tues and Wed. Am at 10:30 they have a free story time with activities and/or songs. My son loves these times and loves to shop in the kids section and the toy section! Check it out!

Bookpeople is such a great place for people of all ages. It has a specialized area just for kids that really adds to the experience (if the kids are happy………..). They have storytime on certain times and other activities. The staff is amazing and the selection for adults is great. They carry just about any book you’re looking for as well as gift ideas. Great place for the family to hang out!

Book People is so unlike any other book stores. It's very unique and has a style of its own. I love hanging out here and browsing. They've also got lots of interesting unusual knick knacks around the store that you can look at. The customer service is very friendly and very knowledgable. I always enjoy looking at staff recommendations because they are always great books. You must visit this place!

I have shopped at Book-People for several years and have found it to be a great, non-chain business, to purchase books. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the selection is always diverse. If they don't have your in stock they will be happy to order it for you and notify you when the product arrives. While this place does not have the coffee and sofas found in most chain bookstores, it feels to good to know you are supporting local businesses. Please remember Book People the next time you are in need of a good book!

BookPeople is a really great locally owned place to get books of all kinds. They have a nice children's area with a big stage. They do weekly storytimes too. We went to one of their bi-lingual storytimes and it was really fun.
Their prices are about the same as B&N for new books. If you don't mind slightly beat-up children's books for half the price you should def. check out Half Price Books.

The absolute best place in Austin to purchase books. Their selection is vast and of course the staff is great. You will find yourself there browsing longer than you thought and finding books that aren‘t on some best seller list but should be. I love reading books from unknown authors and have found this to be my best source. Be prepared, you will come home with your arms full. Their prices are fantastic!
