Recently went to The Raven for an author event and was reminded how lucky we are to have this gem of a bookstore in Lawrence. The new location is AMAZING!

When you think of a classic bookstore, this is it! Way nostalgic feeling, complete with reading nooks and a cat! If you love the smell of books, this is your place!

Cute, good poetry selection. There's a CAT! A bookstore with an animal spirit guide is always the best.

Dashel was obviously highly important for my kids to see/pet and be happy that this bookstore had a cat! The bookstore has been a favorite of mine for many years and it is just as wonderful, extremely friendly staff, EXCELLENT selection, and safety first. Love the new location as well. Sure masks are still required here as of July 2022 - but they provide them if you don't have one. We didn't and were happy to wear them while shopping - anything to keep at risk people safe and able to shop as well. My kids also saw the Vote No, protect choice first as we were walking and were already loving this store because of that.

Get Your Mystery On Yesterday, during my discovery day in Lawrence, I found the nicest little book store full of mystery, fiction, history, children's books and more. The Raven, with its two resident cats, is a cozy spot to hangout in. The space consists of two large rooms that are well organized so that you don’t feel crowded. The moment I stepped through the doors, the staff welcomed me with big smiles and asked if they could help me with anything. It would have been so easy to snuggle up in a chair with a cozy read and call it a day. The Raven offers other items like T shirts, journals, totes, items for children and fun things like the ever-popular enamel pins that have been popping up around town. I added to my purchase, the very bright yellow logo mug that caught my eye when I walked in. The other thing that was a step away from the usual were the Poems machine for fifty cents. Instead of candy, you pop open the white and purple plastic case to find a few thoughtful words typed on a slip of paper. All proceeds are donated to a different charity every month. For March, The Sexual Trauma & Abuse Care Center is featured. Overall: In this busy college town, make The Raven one of your stops for all things mystery and more. This is an edited version of the first review. Overall I still feel the same about the book store overall but found disappointment with the manager when I tried to share some information with him regarding the feedback I received because of my review of his store. He made me feel as though I was bothering him with such trivial news. I'm glad the rest of his staff were more welcoming and excited than he was otherwise the above review would be very different.
