It was a perfect adventure hidden in plain sight of downtown Detroit.  Private parking lot, super smart staff, and amazing books stuffing a huge building in a way that is filled with more than anyone can ever not be entertained with

Good thing they have maps because it's easy to get lost in this warehouse of books. There are so many books it's overwhelming. If you're just browsing, you might want to focus on one floor per visit.

An old four story building (once a glove factory) stuffed with used books. You're given a map at the door to find your way around. It's a fun treasure-hunting experience! Staff members carry walkie talkies to quickly communicate with different floors to help you find the books you want. Be sure to bring a list!

I loved this place soo much. Its the best book store by far that I have been in. One of the great things about this place is the variety of books and types of books that hey had that made me fall in love with the place. 10/10 would go again

Don't ever let John King touch a valuable book of yours: He may damage it, like he damaged mine. Took a first edition Mark Twain book to the store to see if King wanted to buy it. He handled it very roughly, and broke the binding -- in my opinion, deliberately. Then he acted like it was already broken. A first-class jerk. I mean, who would do that? He can not be trusted with other people's property. Beware.
