Mom and Pop type of place. Privately owned and with the best service possible. Upfront and direct about prices and store policies. No need to haggle here. Prices are fair. Hey they too have to make a living. They also have an extensive want list on their website.
This is such an amazing store! They have a huge selection that is very well organized and easy to navigate, and an owner who is just as knowledgeable as she is passionate. Highly recommend for all book needs and wants!
We came across this bookstore thanks to Maps. The moment we stepped in we felt most welcome and the staff shew us around the many different categories they have. Everything is quite well organised. They welcome your own used books, so if you are planning to go, you can save some money by taking them there and getting some other reads with you back.
This place is a total gem. The woman who owns the store is great, very kind and friendly. There’s always a good selection of books and fair value on trade ins. I’m gonna need to stop in again soon!
Serendipitous discovery while walking around, waiting for my windshield replacement. The lady working the desk was so charming and fun. Soul-southing, spirit-lifting community engagement. My first used book store. Wow, the things that have been discovered within them. The books, that is! A pleasant run-in with a former coworker. A nice discussion about 70’s rock, stemming from a man’s Marshall Tucker Band hat I was admiring. He travelled all over the southern US to see them various times, and highly recommends Savannah, Georgia as a travel destination. An enthusiastic book recommendation from one of the store’s regulars; 1 of 5 books she’s ever kept in her possession permanently: ’Numbered Account’ by Christopher Reich.
