I came to this bookstore for the first time. One of the most quietest and relaxing bookstores I've ever experienced! Love the Librarians, who were so helpful and nice! Upon entering the bookstore, I was welcomed in by the staff, who made me feel comfortable! I just couldn't leave out with a purchase great prices and exciting finds! I will be going back to visit real soon😃
This is a used bookstore has a cool atmosphere, with lots of books to browse. Helpful staff as well! They have a basement also so don’t forget to check that out!
We had the BEST experience here. This bookstore is everything you could want or need. They are also so generous! There is a little kids reading area with a basket of free books for kids. They also have an amazing selection of books for purchase, they prioritize sustainability, and they support artists and designers. They made me feel welcome and comfortable, and as a toddler mom, that can be hard to come by. We will be back!
What a gem!! I found this library walking by and decided to take a look, I took over one hour to take a book home, there are so many options (+100000 books they say) and on the most varied topics. Prices are great and books in excellent condition. They have little reading spaces also, I loved it!
A great place to browse through old books on almost any subject. And books not quite so old as well. The atmosphere is quite appealing. Check out the basement collection as well. I managed to make it over to this bookstore for the first time in a few years. It survived the pandemic. Dunaway Books is still a great place for browsing books. They have old records, CD's, and movie posters as well. Be sure to check out the lower level for more material.
