Very nice store!
by CaryGirl at Citysearch
I was happy with the price they paid for used books as well as the price they sell books for. Good selection.

Friendly and stocked well
by doxiegal at Citysearch
This was the best used book experience I've had. The store is small but is stocked well-- great variety and I found quite a few of the books I was looking for. The prices are some of the best I've seen and I can't say enough about the friendliness of the staff! I will DEFINITELY revisit this store.

Meh
by Quelei at Citysearch
I really really love books, so of course I was really excited to go check out this used book store that had received such great reviews. A lot of people said the owner was very friendly helpful in giving recommendations, etc... well when I walked in, the guy behind the counter barely glanced in my direction. I found the selection to be lacking, I couldn't find a single book that I would want to read. If you like chick lit, romance, or mystery books you might find something that appeals to you here, but I just was not impressed at all. I prefer The Reader's Corner or Ed McKay's in Raleigh or The Bookshop in Chapel Hill any day.
- Pros: If you like chick lit or bestsellers, you might find something to your tastes.
- Cons: If you're in the mood to browse for some interesting books, this is NOT the place.
