Yelp.com Review - by Tuya S.

5.0 of 5 stars. Harry Schwartz is a small bookstore with big ideas. They carry latest collections of contemporary essayists, theorists, and philosophers. Let's just say that the list starts with Lacan and can go...

Yelp.com Review - by Dee B.

5.0 of 5 stars. Yes, I'm a bit of a dork - I can admit that. Of course, that means visiting Schwartz when in Milwaukee. During a recent weekend visit, my friend and I stopped by the Downer Ave location. Naturally,...

Yelp.com Review - by Janet G.

5.0 of 5 stars. I've been to this shop twice. As I'm aiming to open my own bookshop in 2009, my last visit to Harry W. Schwartz was especially eye-opening. I love how the staff is made up of true readers and not...

Yelp.com Review - by mary carol G.

5.0 of 5 stars. I love Harry W. Schwartz Bookstore(s)!!! I "hear tell" it's a chain, though a small one, in Wisconsin. I believe I've been to two stores. Alas, alas, alas, on my last visit to Milwaukee, I wasn't...

Yelp.com Review - by Shaun B.

4.0 of 5 stars. An excellent bookstore with a great selection, I don't really care about the Starbucks next door. I think the guy who wrote Fight Club was a guest speaker there once.

Yelp.com Review - by Marcus S.

5.0 of 5 stars. Definitely could improve by getting rid of the Starbuck's next door, but a great place to relax and read. Dimly lit, so some people may prefer a little brighter location within. Always have quite a...

Yelp.com Review - by Jeremy K.

4.0 of 5 stars. A great laid-back bookstore. Docking it a star for having a Starbucks attached instead of the local Alterra (I know, I know) and a lackluster graphic novel section.

Great bookstore by Stacy T. at InsiderPages

It's refreshing to see a locally owned bookstore. I would highly recommend this store to others. It's got character, and it's fun to browse in. It's a good place to find a good book or just hang out for the...
