Knowledgeable staff, local, overpriced
This is possibly the most knowledgeable bookstore staff I have ever encountered. Certainly they surpass the staffs of larger chain bookstores.

This is possibly the most knowledgeable bookstore staff I have ever encountered. Certainly they surpass the staffs of larger chain bookstores.
The children's book section has a great selection. Great storytelling/children's events are held there, but the seating area is ridiculously small for the number of people who show up. Half the time the kids get overwhelmed by all the people in such a cramped space and end up wanting to leave. At times the cramped space is so full of kids that you can't hear the storyteller for all the unavoidable noise. The storytelling staff is the best of any storytime in Austin, however.
Austin pushes the support of local businesses aggressively, but unfortunately, the prices are often so unreasonable they make it impossible to avoid purchasing at the chains. I personally wouldn't mind paying higher prices in exchange for providing local support and patronizing such a knowledgeable (though sometimes snooty) staff, but the prices are beyond reasonable. I have seen books priced at nearly 50% more at Bookpeople than at chain stores. I'd rather go to Half Price Books.
