I always kick myself when I buy a book anywhere but here, especially one I’m sure they’ll have. Stores like this are essential to a community.

My girlfriends and I stopped there while we were visiting and we all left with something or another. The bookworm in our group was very pleased with the options; we could hardly pry her away! They had everything you could imagine, from cook books to comics to magazines to field guides and all genres in-​between. It is not the cheapest bookstore I’ve ever been to. I paid about $ 8 for the restored version of Sylvia Plath’s Ariel. However, it’s worthy to mention that — while I thought this was a tad steep — it ran a little pricier on Amazon. But hey! The store offered free coffee — a win in my eyes! They are also a nonprofit store run by volunteers and have a section of «not for sale» books they reserve for sending prisoners to promote reading. Very cool hole-​in-​the-​wall :)

Best selection for critical theory that I’ve very seen. Great zines too — lots of free offerings!

Had a really good selection and there were a number of books I wanted to leave with. Bonus points because the guy who worked there offered an umbrella to use when it started down pouring. Y’all are lucky y’all have this Bloomington! Cherish this place!

Independent bookstores are treasures. Independent bookstores that also serve as community centers, literacy educators, and social agents for change? Absolutely amazing. Boxcar holds so much knowledge and wisdom within its walls, and the local community should be proud to have such a place within it. The DIY zines are a great added touch. The books for sale, a mix of new and used, cover a wide range of interests. Their kids room looks like a lot of fun. If I and my significant other lived in the area, we’d be here every week.

Nonprofit, volunteer-​run bookstore where the proceeds go towards literacy programs. Amazing selection of zines, comics, shirts, fiction, poetry, cooking, how-​to, sociology, and everything else.
Really nice folks, too. Buy stuff here and educate yourself, your friends, and your family. Awesome place to pick up a gift for someone, too.

For being a relatively small store, Boxcar Books has a great selection of books on a wide variety of topics. If they don’t have the book you are looking for, ask at the desk and they will order it for it. It only takes a couple days to get the book. As others have mentioned they have a good zine collection. They also carry a number of magazines with a progressive, alternative focus. This is the type of business I can feel good supporting. They are volunteer run and a partner of Pages to Prisoners. The only thing I think is a little lacking is their children’s book section.

An awesome place to stop in and browse [although they’re probably like, hey asshole, buy something] and I loved the sign on the door to their bathroom forbidding anyone to poop in there. Hilarious.

probably one of the greatest things about bloomington. co-​operative bookstore with a focus on political texts, off-​the-​beaten-​path fiction authors, and many counter-​cultural classics. the staff is sweet (even when slightly confused) and the zine section, which looks daunting at first, is amazing. i love this store.

Boxcar Books is the jam, pure and simple. Probably the only place in Bloomington you can get a zine from across the country, an Arundhati Roy book, and a guide to threesomes all in one pleasant swoop.
In Boxcar’s own words: «Boxcar Books and Community Center, Inc. is a volunteer run, non-​profit organization that exists to provide new and used books, zines, magazines, and comics on topics of social justice, independent media, and fiction for the community; send literature of all types free of charge to prisoners in the midwest; and to provide a meeting space for community and literary groups.»
Wowowowowow!
Extra added bonus is Landlocked Music right next door.
Good job Boxcar!
