Very good bookstore, the environment is very good, not only suitable for reading, but also suitable for taking pictures. I am not good at English and cannot read English books, so as a tourist, I choose to take pictures quietly and enjoy accompanying my family here.

Very cute book store with pre owned used copies at affordable prices and the layout of the store is very chill and feels like reading and wandering in nature. Great spot even just to peek if not planning to buy.

Absolutely loved it. So many books. It's like a labyrinth, nooks and crannies all filled with books. Outside in the sunshine. Beautiful space with nice, helpful, knowledgeable staff to assist with finding your favorite read. Good selection of books, mostly used (but some new), will definitely come back. Would highly recommend. Plenty of places to grab a bite or a drink nearby and the scenery is heavenly.

The best bookstore anywhere. It’s a gem and a national treasure, beautiful from every angle, absolutely unique. My son and I went there, planned to spend a few minutes; ended up being there half a day and shipping lots of books back home. Bart’s is worth a pilgrimage from anywhere to visit. The best of the best.
