A Novel Idea Bookstore

such a cute little shop with a great selection! the person working was very kind and helpful

This bookstore gem is perfect for the exploration of a good read. The ladies in the store are so helpful! I was there with my 2 kids and 2 nieces and they each had their own preferences. The patience and kindness of the store employees were so attentive. Also, love the green bags.

Such a welcoming environment. Cinnamon was so kind and really made my kids feel like valued customers. This is a woman place to stop. Good books and bookish gifts as well.

I wasn't expecting a bookstore as I wandered the high streets of downtown Lincoln searching for lunch but I landed in one anyway. And a very fine bookstore this is. Tightly packed stacks of paperbacks (and a few hardcovers) with nary room to put your arms out. Which I found perfectly wonderful.

Very much wanting to support this sort of business, I did not have much trouble at all picking up a like-new copy of a Heinlein I already own with the intention of replacing my well worn with this one. And another Lee Child / Jack Reacher that I don't remember reading before.

Cheap for the two at under $10 and so I left with my purchase knowing I was shopping local.

They have an amazing selection of books, and they have CATS, people. I went inside one day just to pet the cats that sit in the window, and I ended up spending several hours browsing the first floor and the basement. So many fascinating books and interesting subjects. And the people who work there are so kind!

TL; DR: Came for the cats, stayed for the books

Iconic Lincoln bookstore...they have very friendly staff and a great selection of obscure and not so obscure books. This is a cozy place to while away an hour or so. I've never once left empty handed.
The cats are a huge bonus!

It's the bookstore you would run if you ran a bookstore. Almost a moment of zen just on entering. It's a location you visit to revel in the written word and pause life a moment and just browse. You can pet the cats, and spend some quality time for yourself as you pick out what interests you.

Huge selection, every topic you can imagine

I love bookstores and this one is no exception! It's like a sanctuary for your soul! So many beautiful books reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and welcoming like an old friend. They have two resident cats who are very relaxed and quite comfortable. I walked out with 6 books for $45! That's a great deal! I will be back...and bring friends!

Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Everything is organized very well and there is always someone willing to help.

Very well run bookstore, the owner is very friendly. It's hard not to spend hours browsing. The cats are a plus, I just wish there were more of them
