Argos has been an anchor business in Eastown for nearly 35 years! Many of our regular customers grew up coming to Argos as children, and now they come with their own children and grandchildren. Whether they are looking for books for school assignments, studying history or theology, or just want to browse through stacks of science fiction or mystery novels, Eastowners and families from surrounding neighborhoods appreciate our cheerful, service-oriented local business. We are also popular with college and high-school students, due to our vast selection and our 10% student (and educators!) discount.
In 2006 Argos was nominated for a Neighborhood Business Award in the category of “Best Long Standing Business,” by the Neighborhood Business Alliance and Neighborhood Ventures.
In the Annual Grand Rapids “Townie” Awards, presented by On-The-Town Magazine, Argos regularly wins a Silver Townie in the “Best Book Store” category.
Argos is a member of the Mid-Michigan Antiquarian Book Sellers Association.
