Whoever is managing their social media accounts is doing AMAZING. I want every single book 😂. I love that you can easily order any book online and pick up in the store.
Amazing selection of new and used books! Lots of variety. You can tell that the owner puts care into picking the books they have in store. They also have puzzles, games, tote bags, stickers and more!
We love coming frequently to The Book Ferret. They have wonderful history and nature sections. But the best is the sci-fi/ fantasy nook in the back corner. Love coming on the weekends and seeing the community interaction!
We finally made it a a priority to visit this wonderful bookstore. Charlie is a gracious proprietor and quick to answer any and all questions. The shop has a beautiful selection of new and gently used books, games, puzzles, and novelty items and I only wish we had more time to browse today. Prices are very reasonable and I will absolutely shop here again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!❤
Delightful, locally owned and welcoming. Clean and interesting displays. While I was there, children excited about reading came and bonded with the owner over the latest book series and graphic novel. Great mix of well-organized books that span local authors to traditionally banned books, fiction and youth/teen, and a bit of everything else inbetween. Refreshing feel and a healthy break from big retailers. Tucked away in the Lowes Foods shopping center. If you face Lowes, look to your left and it’s there awaiting you! Buy local, support local, and help this independent bookstore thrive! I’ll be back!

Your local haven for new and used books, games, and community connection.
