Wow, what an amazing book,store and community — and an amazing event that I went to. They can hold up to hundred people in the back room and a few more for standing room only. It’s a really eclectic fun mix of books with a lot of art books.
Loved the selection, layout, and overall vibe of this bookstore! Could stay for hours just browsing through 🥹
I loved this bookstore! Small but mighty!! Such a well curated selection of books- it was literally so hard to decide on what books were coming home with me. This is why i shop at local bookstores. I love stumbling on books i wouldn’t otherwise find. I love Libby but it can really be hard to stumble on something cool. Absolutely recommend!!
This is a wonderful bookstore!! You can really feel the love for books and I wish I wasn’t just visiting the area, but lived nearby and that this was my bookstore ❤️ Large selection, well organized and lovingly displayed. Lots of fun treasures for book lovers, including wrapped books with a single sentence written on the wrapper. The young woman at the register was friendly and welcoming. Loved everything about Booksmith. Accessible, with items both high and low within reach.
Love this bookshop - cozy, special, friendly, well-stacked. They hand-write these beautiful department-signs and the staff sticks notes with book-reviews next to the books. Awesome. Drop in when you are near. Absolutely worth it!
