My daughter had been wanting to go to this book store for two weeks, we finally had time and we went in for a look. Immediately we were met by an older lady who was absolutely rude to me and my children. Her exact words to me about my 2yr old was not to allow him/her or whatever to not touch anything. An not to pull anything from the shelf. We left immediately and I told my daughter we do not have to patron places that does not accept us. I am a Durham native and I have never felt uncomfortable in my city till today. Will never return and will let everyone I know not to give them business.

Underwhelming experience that is hampered by the inability to really pull anything off the shelf without feeling like you are dirtying it (anything you touch you have to put in a box so they can clean it). I get the precaution if you were dealing with a lot of rare or antique volumes, but most of what you can touch has already been covered in cellophane and is not that old or antique. Rare or older books are mostly on glass cases. The store had not been cleaned recently so it was fairly dusty actually.

A small bookstore with a wide variety of old and new books. I wish I could have browsed longer...

Elegant bookstore on Main Street in Durham. Located in a beautiful historic building. They said they have been there for 30 plus years. They primarily have used books, rare and unique previously used postcards and posters from everywhere and about everything. Black and white as well as colorful selections. The book store is arranged so that you should find any genre you may be looking for. The staff is very friendly and will show you around the store. They are very knowledge and will give historical references about Durham and other unique features. A very cozy shop I would recommend checking out this bookstore. Prices seem to be very reasonable as well.

I was looking for postcards all day. They are tough to find these days. This place had a wide variety and the employees were very helpful. It was refreshing to be walked to the postcards instead of them just pointing in the direction of where they were. Be sure to go there if u need something they have rather than some chain store. I was greated when I walked in and asked if I needed assistance. At first I said no thanks just looking because I wanted to browse. I was left alone until I had that I need help look and then this wonderful lady walked me to the postcards and told me where she would be if I had any questions and walked away. That type of service doesnt happen much anymore. It was nice to know the customer was more important than the conversation she was engaged in prior to me walking in. Once I stepped inside I became their priority. Kudos the them and the owner for the great staff they have

Neat little used book store in Brightleaf Square. The guy who runs it used to Work at Bell Labs. Now he writes books about baseball. How do I know this? Because hes very friendly. Give it a shot! You might find something you like.

Yazz the store is warm and cozy you can find great books there the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. In my interaction look for cats to look up my book and let me know that it was a pretty expensive book so they didnt carry it but they could order it. He reminisced with me about the author and thank me for my time absolutely cozy place.

What a terrific bookstore! A vast assortment of antique and collectible books, prints, and maps to choose from. Thats not to mention local guides, classic novels, and a host of biographies. Great prices and the friendliest of owners. A Durham gem.

Very cool place to shop. Some unique items. Post cards from early 1900 was different. Staff w as especially helpful finding book i bought.

Stopped in for the first time today and I may just have a new favorite store in the RDU area. This is exactly what you want in an independent bookstore. Lots of quality used books (not the same old tired titles you find in every other used bookstore); a great post card collection; lots of etchings, maps, and other things to keep you entertained!

Quaint bookstore with a large selection of books, artwork, puzzles, and vintage items such as maps and postcards. Its worth a visit!

Great place with an eclectic and interesting collection. The owner is friendly and helpful. Excellent selection of antique medical books and plates from anatomical atlases!

Nice place, neat stuff, great help from staff person.

Totally analog and a great selection of hard to find titles

They have a cool postcard collection. ...I guess I must not be the only one who finds that fascinating.

Exactly what you want from an eccentric bookstore. Warm & Cozy with a great selection and very reasonable prices.

Treasures to read. Old and new.

Neat vintage old world bookstore

A couple if times I have come by during business hours and theyve been closed. What I can see from the windows looks nice, but inconsistency is really bad business model...

Unusual used book store

Wide selection of new & used books.

Great selection
