The Readers Corner is one of my favorite places in Raleigh. The people are friendly. I always find the book that I need, along with ten or more books that i WANT. Their parking lot can be difficult to manuever in and out of, but it is worth the trouble.

Excellent book store

by fatbelly at Citysearch

I love to read and really like shopping at used book stores. For one thing I'm cheap, I don't remember the last time I paid full price for a new hardback. And for another, there's nothing like going shopping for one book and coming out with an out of print gem that you would never find in a new book store. I have no qualms against the big chains (how can you hate on a book/music store?), but there's no substitute for a good, cozy, used book store with friendly and helpful staff. Reader's Corner is just such a place. Personally, I'm partial to the classics of literature and they have a great selection which is well organized. Love the jazz and classical music playing over the soundsystem as well. When buying books in Raleigh, this is one of my first stops. The only complaint I have is the narrow aisles which can make it difficult to shop the low shelves, but it doesn't detract from the overall experience. Definitely recommended!

• Pros: Helpful staff, good selection, atmosphere
• Cons: Tight aisles
