This store tries to be a book, game, music, and toy store which results in just an okay selection of all of them. A whole lot of their books are religious so if you're not Mormon, that really cuts down on your choices. They do have some recent releases of popular books if that's what you're looking for. There is an okay selection of card and board games, plus they often have expansions of those games too which is nice. Things are a little more than you'll expect to pay online, but if you like shopping locally, this is a good place to look for games (which is the only reason I've ever gone in here). The toy section is nice, my only complaint there is that last time I went in, part of the ceiling was falling down. I heard they remodeled since then, but it didn't leave a very good impression.

Bottom Line: I go there to get items that only they carry. If I know I can buy it somewhere else, I do, and wish there was a better alternative for school supplies and music supplies in town. Usually I prefer shopping with local merchants instead of a big box store, but not after many...
Read moreSuch a great hometown store for all kinds of gift ideas. The Book Table has games, puzzles, toys, books, music, candy, and much more. There are so many current games they have available--Ticket To Ride, Mansions of Madness, classics like Clue and Monopoly, etc. We noticed they have a good variety of educational toys and things like science kits and marble run kits, and rock tumbling kits.... They offer some music lessons here but we haven't ever tried them. Their whole second floor is basically a huge selection of puzzles. Last time I checked they sold fudge and I think a few types of hand-crafted chocolates. They offer gift wrapping (not sure if it costs extra or not). I love wandering around looking at the...
