It has a great atmosphere and selection of books of all ages! It's also super great for gift shopping! I would highly recommend going on a rainy day then going home with a great new book to read on the couch! 📚 Happy reading!

All-around amazing store. Only bookstore in the area I found to have postcards and at a great price! They have a ton of stock with new books (no used, but priced as expected for new). Staff were super friendly on my visit and Kai was super happy to help us out! Will 100% be returning frequently.

The Regulator is everything you could want in a local independent bookstore. They have an amazing selection including lots of local authors and topics. The staff is knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, and very helpful.

Visited this adorable shop today. Blown away by the vast selection of fiction. The employees were all so sweet and caring. They even gave me a discount when I asked. Will definitely be coming here again.

Larger than it looks from the outside! Well organized with lots of books of many genres! The kids section is quite large and includes a little space to read to your little right there. Friendly and helpful staff. Love supporting local businesses!
