Wonderful! by CupofTea via Citysearch on 8/18/2010

Such a fun place to spend a couple of hours. I came in looking for a particular book and left with that and 10 more! You never know what you'll find. The staff happily answered my questions and brought me to where I wanted to go. I could…

Don't go where you're not wanted by cinemajay via Citysearch on 8/3/2010

I can't say much about this store that's good, except that they are huge and have a wide selection. However, the comics are kept behind a chained area (yes, a freakin' CHAIN!) and plenty of militant signage to keep theft to a minimum.…

Great Book Store by Sharon H via Insider Pages on 4/17/2010

This a great book store. You have to be careful because if you love books like me, you might get lost in all the possibilities. Nice, easy location.

Great Science Fiction selection! by namakoseacucumber via Citysearch on 8/20/2008

I love this store!!! I came just looking for a light read and came out with around ten great books. Their three floors of books had books from every genre from military history to science fiction. Highly recommended!

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE by mn_resident2007 via Citysearch on 12/11/2007

I called to ask and see if they had a book available. The man that answered the phone said, "Uh, I don't think we have it, Call a newer store." and hung up! It was very rude! He didn't even check to see if they had the book, he told me to…

Bad Customer Service by Janet L. via Judy's Book on 12/11/2007

I called to see if they had a book available. The man asked me to describe it and then told me, "Uh, I don't think we have it, call a newer store." and then he hung up! It was very rude. I am glad I didn't waste my time going down there.

Midway Used and Rare Books by Roxanne S. via Judy's Book on 9/19/2006

Midway Rare and Used Books is located in Saint Paul, MN. This bookstore has a LOT of books. I'm talking, so many books that it can be crowded. If you have the time, it is a great store to search though, but it may take you some time. The…

Interesting collection! by Pooja S via Insider Pages on 11/12/2005

I happened to notice this book store by chance one day on my way to work. It on a busy crossection of the town and not the easiest place to park. However I returned once during lunch break.They have a pretty ineteresting collection of…

NIce getaway by Nick B. via Judy's Book on 9/14/2005

So I have gotten annoyed by the big box book stores of late and gave this shop a try. I found what i was looking for at a very minimal increase over what could be had at large chains. I am happy to support a local store and I had a good…

A mainstay of the St. Paul used books market. by Will J via Insider Pages on 9/7/2005

A very popular location, you can except a good flow of inventory from this store. Located centrally on University, it is a fun place to search through. Bookstores like this can be particularly dangerous, if you don't watch yourself you may…

Great stop by Bryan T via Insider Pages on 8/20/2005

One of the best spots for used books that you're going to find in Saint Paul. Three stories and a real landmark in the city. Particularly good with art books, comic books, old playboy issues, etc. A little skimpy on poetry, folklore and…

Good selection, snooty staff by J. D. via Judy's Book on 8/19/2005

This store has some of the best selection of used books in twin cities. Everything from vintage magazines, out of print books to newer stuff. Everything is there. You have to deal with the superior attitude of the owner and some of the…

A nice big used book shop by Rachel B. via Judy's Book on 8/19/2005

Midway Books, located on the corner of University Ave. and Snelling in the Midway neighborhood, is a great place to visit if you've got plenty of time. The store is large, with a huge selection of books at great prices. I'm not sure I'd…
