A fantastic selection of old and new books. Friendly customer service and very helpful. Happy to support small businesses, especially independent booksellers!

What a great find! I’ve been searching for a place to sell some books and ended up getting a generous amount of store credit for what I brought in here. They have a great selection of books, too. I’ll definitely be back!

Cool, laid back bookstore with a diverse array of books. The prices are fair and the employees always have a smiling face. Nice gem in Downtown Durham!

I love a great book store. Friendly staff with handwritten notes depicting a short review. Great prices and a we'll rounded collection. I only wished they offered a reading nook and coffee but then again I wouldn't leave.

I love this place! They always have a book I didn't know I needed, and fantastic advice about what books a friend might like when I need to buy a last-minute gift.

Lovely local bookstore!! Their used books often look brand new, and they have a good selection of new/newish release used books as well. They have a really nicely curated section of NC/Durham literature, as well as unique and interesting finds in other categories. I think their staff picks section is a nice array that doesn't just follow the best sellers list. Would recommend to any book lover or visitor!

Small but cute bookstore. Lots of employee recommendations laid out to help you decide on a book. Lots of community involvement, too.

Very cool bookstore with picks for all ages and tastes. Reasonable prices (sale books start at $3 and even some hardbacks are only $10-11). They also have fun literary socks/shirts and recommendations from the staff!
