Very quaint little book store with a quality selection of books in a decent range of prices. The staff is very friendly, the place itself is quiet and clean. Would definitely shop there again.

Fantastic local book store with a great selection, knowledgeable staff that's super helpful, very reasonable pricing and even chill events like book club happy hour!! Definitely worth checking out and better than buying online!!

I’ll never be able to say enough good things about Letters. Land and his team run a dream bookshop. The selection, the personal recommendations, the events, and of course the location are all incredible. This place has the spark that so many bookstores strive to achieve but so rarely do. We’re all so lucky to have a bookstore like this in Durham.
