Outstanding service on a busy Saturday. Accidentally crossed paths with M&Q while enjoying a sunny weekend in Uptown. Asked for help with finding a paperback copy of The Boys in the Boat. Who knew that they had a Sport Section? The desk attendant was happy to help and knowledgeable.

I think I started going to this store as an infant in the '50s, or so it seems. I see it as the intellectual center of Minneapolis -- maybe the Twin Cities. Packed solid with good new and used books of every genre conceivable. Check online before you go if you're looking for something specific, maybe obscure, and wondering if they have it. They'll check their warehouse if it's not in the store and send it to the store where it will await your arrival. Want to unload some books? Bring them in; they'll know what to do with them, maybe pay you something for some of them too. They'll pass on what they don't want to other stores. Want to preserve or protect your precious babies on your shelves at home? Bring them in and they'll put mylar covers over those vulnerable dust jackets. "Is life good, Daddy?" "Well, children, the world has many bad things to fret over and danger lurks. But there are also many wonders to see and pleasures to be had. Take Magers and Quinn over there, for example. You get wonders AND pleasures."

Extremely helpful and kind staff. Great selection of books! The entire place gives a feeling that makes you want to browse for hours.

As a book buyer, I really enjoy this bookstore. They have a decent selection and I find something new each time I go. However, their book buying policy is really stingy (from the perspective of someone who has sold to multiple used bookstores). I will not be selling here again.
