Writer's Block Bookstore - Winter Garden — Local services in Winter Garden

I went in for my first time today. I was excited because I’ve been wanting to stop by and check them out. Got a book, selection is ok for what I read. Not going to mark them for that because you can order the books online through their site if they don’t have it in store. What I am marking them on is that when it was my turn to check out. I saw their interaction with the person in-front of me, friendly, nice, informative and welcoming. Once it was my turn a barely a Hello, super dry, standoffish and unwelcoming feeling. Asked if I wanted a bag and just handed the receipt. Not even a have a nice day, I was just disappointed because I guess I expected them to treat me like they did the last patron. Unfortunately, that was not in my case. This is my first and last time...

Very impressed, walk in collections are sorted on bookshelves by author a d genre. The ladies behind the counter are very helpful, they actually walk to show you where the author/book is instead of pointing. She even looked up a collection to help me finish a series. The only downside is they didn't have bags, they should go earth friendly with purposeful bags like the publix brand and not even give bags, have customers get used to bringing their own or buy one. I was so impressed with thoughtful authors and carrying new selections , I came back again the next day. Do yourself a favor get a room across the way at The Edgewater Inn, buy books eat at Thai Blossom and get more books, your soul...

A breath of fresh air! It was fun to see the "banned books" section. They included the dates that the books were banned, so not ALL of them are banned here or even currently banned, but still fun to see WHY they were banned and when. The kids' section is really cool - they have a lot of books, some toys, and a little table to read/play at. The lady at the desk was helpful and kind. She helped me find the book I wanted (Screwtape letters) and had a nice discussion with me about it. Lots of options here. They don't have almost any books in Spanish, but most bookstores don't. Definitely worth walking through if you're downtown. Support your local store! It's worth the extra...
