Beautiful local little shop! I can never leave without a new book. Theres something for everyone, and there are even some special editions for classics that Ive never found anywhere else. They dont only sell books, though! There are notebooks, writing and drawing supplies, calendars, postcards, notecards, wrapping paper, games, sustainable goodies, and more! Please support this local shop! It is a wonderful little place!

I go to this place all the time and love it! I get two things here, books, and socks. Employees here are very friendly, and the atmosphere is very quiet and calm. This is a great place to come to all the time.

Visited this super cute bookstore while in Flagstaff for the day. The staff and store are lovely! They have staff reviews and picks throughout, which is awesome. Loved everything about this store. Would highly recommend if youre in the area!

Friendly staff, nice bookstore and quaint historical feel, my daughter found a unique book that she enjoys and will get good us from

Always the most interesting and wide-ranging collection of childrens books of any bookstore in the Southwest. Our childrens favorite place to browse as 2 avid early readers. We always leave with an armful of books, with the hardest decision being what we will not buying (yet) each visit. Super helpful staff.

The staff is very friendly here which is always a plus for any store.. the book selection was pretty interesting for the psyhcology/self help and spiritual section. Was able to find a immense amount of books to walk out with along with some cool stickers for the back of my rv! Will most likely re visit as it was a very organized book store- not to big but had a selection worth browsing and a place to sit and read!

A bookstore by book lovers, for book lovers. It was really great getting to visit this store being from Tucson. We dont have anything quite like this down here that I know of. The employees are so friendly and always ready to strike up conversation about literature. The shelves are filled with recommendations making it fun and easy to seek out great new reads. We loved this place :)

I come here quite frequently and the people behind the counter are always very nice!

My fiancee said it was the best bookstore shes ever been in, and that is really saying something.

Great bookshop with lots of options. Claire helped us find some great childrens books, and made sure we had a great experience!

Awesome little book shop with a great collection. I love getting my monthly dose of oversized paperbacks here.

Great selection of gifts and new releases. Cant wait to visit again!

Nice little bookstore downtown. It would be cool if it had some used books but it is nice. Good selection of books. Caters to more of the tourists but that is good for them. Lady working there was not super friendly, thus the 4 stars.

Good selection, staff is friendly and helpful. The staff recommendations throughout the store are always fun

My favorite bookstore ever! My daughter and I like to go there together and browse because they have such cool, unique gifts. You can order anything they dont have in stock and the staff is awesome. Several times Ive gone in there and they have suggested just the perfect thing for a gift. Real locally owned book stores have disappeared and Im so grateful that we have this one in our community.

The staff members were all super friendly and really went out of their way to help my 11 y.o. Son find a great book series.

Wonderful bookstore with very attentive and knowledgeable staff. A great place to browse and find unexpected treasures!

Nice place to go look around for newer books.

I love this bookshop. Very homy ans the staff recommendations that include little blurbs about why a staff member enjoyed a book can really help guide decisions. Very friendly and welcoming.

Best bookstore in town - always helpful and have everything we are looking for. The staff knows their stuff, and is always ready with a recommendation for us every time we stop by. Highly recommend!

Its a great local bookstore. I always find something I didnt know I was looking for.

Excellent shop, better people. Dog friendly. Cant find what you had in mind? The staff is great at making personalized recommendations. I get all my gifts here!

Excellent independent bookstore in Flagstaff. Great selection and a beautiful store. Friendly staff.

Great store! Support the little guy! Wonderful little shop in historical part of Flagstaff. I was able to find a book here that I couldn’t find anywhere else, other than special order. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Store is organized really well-even a great kids section! They even have quirky little gifts.

Fabulous store. The staff picks are incredible and I have always chosen them, unless Im looking for something specific. They have a great array of zines, magazines, materials for creating everything and their childrens book section is so diverse. Oh and did I mention vinyl. Yes they have vinyl.

Great variety of books, a comfortable space, and very friendly and professional staff.

Friendly staff and great selections for the whole family.

Much more expensive than bookmans and then this fact

Fantastic bookstore! If they dont have it they can order it. The staff are super friendly and attentive. Rather than order something online, support an awesome local bookstore

Lovely place. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The bookstore is great, and the staff reviews a lot of books and you can see their reviews on the shelves

Dog Friendly. Friendly Staff. Comfortable Atmosphere. Cozy Chairs. Paid Street Parking

Great selection and fun gifts! Also fantastic selection of kid activity books near the front and in the back. Carries the amazing Usborne books, which is totally unique.

As a huge book lover, of course my eye was caught by Bright Side Bookshop. It is extremely organized, the staff is exceptionally friendly, and I felt very covid-safe as they recommend you use hand sanitizer before browsing. It is an all new bookstore, so if you are looking for cheap used, you got to find somewhere else, but there is still an on sale shelf (which I happily browsed! 😂) Find books for all ages in this lovely book store In the middle of town!

Nice book selection. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive.

Place is great they are always helpful. And great customer service.

Love brightside!! The customer service is top notch and I love supporting local!!

We loved this store when we lived in Flagstaff, and I just did an online order from them for the first time since we moved, and everything went incredibly smoothly. Love this place.

Staff is awesome. It is always neat and organized. They sell books, specialty magazines, novelty items, and even have a good assortment of novelty socks!! You can go from aisle to aisle and find plenty of interesting things. They also have plenty of books and toys for kiddos too

Amy went above and beyond even giving us restaurant and brewery recommendations when we asked. Thank you!

Very well put together shop with a lot of selection. Stopped in to get my boyfriend a copy of Bram Stoker’s Dracula for his birthday and ended up also walking out with a couple of stickers, stick on tattoos, and a cute little deck of dinosaur playing cards.Staff was super attentive and when we asked about the book, were able to find it in 30 seconds flat.

Quaint and charming- the staff was very friendly and I found unique books, especially books native to AZ.

Such a great shop! I love the selection of books, the way the store is set up, and how quickly staff have been able to find a great book no matter what I am looking for.

They had a lot of interesting books but they were overpriced by a large margin. Not only that but they were very rude. The staff acted as if they didnt give a dawn what are they made a sale or not

Great bookstore and super friendly staff. I love this place

Friendly staff, great selection, and excellent masking and distancing in the store. If they dont have your book in stock, theyll order it for you.

The best local book shop! Staff is always super friendly and they have a great selection!

I absolutely love this book shop! The staff are friendly, the displays are appealing, and they have a great local interests selection. Highly recommend looking for your desired book here before looking online!

A wonderfully curated bookshop with a local vibe very reminiscent of Meg Ryans Shop Around the Corner. The selection is exploratory with classics, must-haves, and interesting additions. Id love to see some more creative ideas for helping customers browse new books - a table of books based on your reading mood. Sometimes I want to buy a new book and have no idea what to buy, but I know I want a page turner or I know I want something informative. Would be great to see a display that helps guide the visitor through the buying experience.

I love independent bookstores and this one was particularly great. I loved the staff recommendations and reviews. Very thankful we stopped in as we passed through Flagstaff.

The staff are incredibly helpful, nice, and knowledgeable so any visit to this store a great visit.While talking with the cashier as I just preordered a book, she suggested additional great books by the author. The staff have always been incredibly friendly, and knowledgeable when it comes to suggestions and knowing what I am looking for, and have always been very helpful when I have called.This is a fantastic store with fantastic staff, and I always know that I am coming away from Brightside with a great experience.

A cute downtown bookshop with a big selection of new and classic books, plus lots of unique gifts for book lovers and kids. Theyre happy to order any books they dont have in store, and they host fun events like author readings and book clubs.

Great staff, great selection, overall exactly what I want from a small independent bookstore. I also loved that they sell local artists’ postcards as I like to collect these when I travel. Only thing that would make this place better would be another chair or two, in case you’re like me and like to sit and read a few pages before buying.

Great store. Stopped in for a Brazilian music show which we enjoyed. Picked up a few gifts for grandchildren.

Had no Debbie Macomber books in stock

The employees were nice, asked if we needed assistance, and one at the cash register was patient when I decided to change books. Though there is a lack of options, they had many an option for such a small bookstore.

Great little book store. Had a decent selection was clean, friendly and welcoming. I liked it!

Nice place. Good selection of books.

GREAT selection for kids and middle grade readers! Super friendly. We stopped here on the walk back from dinner and we were so glad we did!

I always enjoy stopping in Bright Side Bookshop! The staff is ALWAYS so friendly, kind, and helpful plus I get to SHOP LOCAL!

Love this darling store in downtown Flagstaff! They have a great selection of contemporary fiction, classics, local and youth. Plus unique cards and bookish gifts. Support indie bookstores!

Adorable bookstore with plenty to offer. They have staff recommendations which is always appreciated.

Such an awesomely curated store!Social justice section is 10/10.

When you walk through the front doors, you feel welcomed & amazed- a place for the Community filled with friends (books & staff)😃📚 theres a fabulous nook for families (children & young @💗)

Cool little bookstore with friendly staff that are willing to order whatever book youre looking for if they dont have it.

Great variety. Old fashioned book store.

Wonderful staff. Great selection. A local bookstore with character!

Love my locally owned bookstore.

Really nice place. Great selection, relaxing environment, and always something interesting to look at each time I come in. Probably my favorite book store in town!

Clean and well organized!

My daughter and I were followed like we were thieves. Plus staff was rude.

Great place for kids gifts, lots of unique items for everyone!

This is a really nice bookshop, a great place to stop by while strolling through town. Take a look through their staff picks, they always have something good out!

Great staff, good selection, will order and quick delivery if they don’t have what you need! Wonderful atmosphere!

A well stocked, local bookstore with a great selection of kids books. They have really nice stationery and gifts too.

Great indie bookstore. Excellent selections, lovely displays, friendly staff

Great Bookstore

Great independent bookshop in the heart of downtown Flagstaff. My wife and I were able to find a good selection of locally themed childrens and baby books.

Great selection of new books from classics to new releases! Great atmosphere and competitive price

Good selection of books, but very high prices.

Clean. Great selection of books and beyond.

Beautiful store, friendly people, great selection. ❤️love it!

Great staff. Local spot, so dont expect amazon selection, but good source of eclectic books and gifts.

A very clean book store, unfortunately didnt carry any selection of Debbie Macomber books. Staff was very nice and give us addresses of other book stores in area.

Less rabble than bigger bookstores, classics, best sellers, and all the good ones in between. Friendly staff, great open vibe

Friendly/helpful staff. Impressive selection for their limited space.

Good selection of books not found just anywhere

Good selection, nice kid section, friendly people

Charming place with friendly folks

They have great hiking info and were super helpful

Easily the best book store within a hundred miles of Flagstaff

Interesting place- well worth visiting.

Lovely little independent bookshop.

This is the kind of place you hope for in a college town.

Great bookstore, awesome selection.
