Staff was wonderful and I loved that staff members had different recommendations for all genres of books! I bought was too many of course and I appreciated the store set up, which made for an easy shopping experience! I also love that they have a selection of blind dates with a book!
This bookshop definitely has an old-school charm and coziness to it. Everything seemed well labelled as well, but they did not have the book we were looking for.
A wonderful bookstore with a lot of detail and charm. The staff is super friendly and welcoming! Love this place!
Beautiful and glorious bookstore. The employees were wonderful and kind and I enjoyed the comfortable and serene atmosphere. Never pass by a store such as this without going in.
Quail Ridge has been my indie/local bookstore for a couple of years now, and they have never disappointed. As a matter of fact, they always go above and beyond. Everyone I've met that works there is so kind, ready to help, offer recommendations, and with a level of care/joy/consideration that is not easy to find these days. Special shout out to Emily as my daughter and I absolutely adore her! Some things they have you may be interested in: staff picks where staff read and offer their unspoiled review/recommendation, blind date with a book where books are wrapped with good descriptions of what the book is about on the front so you can make an informed decision, book clubs, an annual membership that gives you discounts, author events, and many special events offered throughout the year. I'm sure I'm missing things. Haha My favorite is their author events where there is usually a Q&A with the author and sometimes an author signing. I have been to almost 10 and each one is well organized and a great time! Last but not least, check out their website where you can request signed books from some of the local authors they work with!
