The Writer's Block is probably one of the most pleasant book stores in the Las Vegas area. Looking at the simple building from outside you almost can't even imagine all the wonders and magic that are waiting inside. Walking in you're greater by an incredibly colorful book store full of whimsy. The staff is rotating but all of them are incredibly friendly. They sell books but also little knickknacks and buttons and tote bags. Unlike larger retailers they are so wholesome and kind when it comes to any questions you might have. I also love the idea of being able to adopt a fake bird in the store as a way to get donations to keep this small business alive. I've also been made aware that they offer classes and story times and other things in the room located at the back of the shop but I have not been able to attend any of these. I typically spend around an hour or an hour and a half here just browsing and buying things. I've also been told by some members of the staff that they are able to order a specific book for you if you can not find it. I would strongly recommend this book store. Even if you are not looking for anything in particular you can at least enter and appreciate all the hard work and fun nature of the business.
