The best book store in the world. Great author talks, fantastic children's section. Honestly, it has everything you could want in a book store
This bookstore is NOT one which I would recommend. It is NOT anything special, it's just average. It does NOT have the feel and atmosphere of a bookstore that knows books. Readings by authors and such, yes, but as to offering the "bookstore" experience ... NO !!! Haunted Bookshop is far and away much better .... The only reason this bookstore continues to "exist" is because of all the "extras" it has .... people who know and appreciate books would NOT find anything here of value. They have gone far from their roots .... too commercialized may be the word. Or, just plain bad would be another. Truly a very disappointing experience for anyone who knows what REAL books and bookstores ARE.
I don't know how anyone could do anything but rave about this place. Iowa City wouldn't be what it is without it. Highlights for me have always been the friendly, familiar staff, the iced green tea, and the author reading events.
Considered the best independent bookstore in the nation and I promise you they live up to that standard. They're a welcoming business and they support the local community. Thank you Prairie Lights.
We were here for the first time on 12/7 for a book reading, signing and Q&A. The authors and the book store staff were great but the guy working in the cafe was rude, banging things around. We might return for books but will avoid the cafe.
