Books & Company — Local services in Oconomowoc

I feel so fortunate to have shopped here. Books & Company has the perfect proximity to Oconomowoc Hospital, but more importantly, the perfect selection of on-point cancer books. Without knowing where to begin, I trusted their store to have options after a hospital visit, and they didn't disappoint. They nailed it! I walked in and found their cancer section, and was able to find the perfect book for our situation without being overwhelmed or mislead. The books were spot on, and I walked out with confidence that what I chose was relevant and helpful. After reading and rereading these books (especially one in particular), I can still say months later that I know I have the best book available on this topic, and I have this awesome local bookstore to thank. I had no idea what I had needed going in, but in hind sight I now know I bought the best book from the start. Thank you, Books & Company for being stocked and informed and relevant to your clientele. Local small businesses like you care, and it shows. Five star rating...

I have always like this store and thought of them when Barnes and noble didn't have what I wanted. I was under a deadline and books and company's website says "If the title availability says "usually ships in 1-5 days" is not on hand in store and will arrive in 2-5 business days."I ordered on a Sunday but by the next Monday did not hear anything I called it was not going to ship out for 2 more days and that meant it would miss my deadline that I needed it by. The store gave me an answer that it was shipping by third party and I ordered on line so it would take longer. That's not what the website says. Very disappointed. They did cancel the order with no problem but now I have to go out of my way to get the book I thought I would have by this time. Disappointed and...

This has been my happy place for many years. I grew up here; waiting in-line for midnight book releases, stopping in countless times for last-minute gifts for my bibliophilic family, and all my favorite summer days when my mom would treat me to lunch and let me pick out my next book. I’ve never left this magical little store disappointed or empty-handed, often due to Ken’s consistently great and passionate recommendations when I can’t make up my mind. I am forever thankful for this peaceful little shop.
