I always found a treasure every time I went there. What on earth could replace it? It really felt like the heart of the Bishop Arts walkable shopping area. I love that this book shop paved the way for a lot of the other books shops that have eventually opened up in the neighborhood.

The service is great, and they have a pretty good selection considering the store is about the size of a postage stamp. This is not a store where you browse, sit, and relax. You can walk from one side of the store to another in about 2 seconds. But if you're in the area, it has some interesting titles, some interesting tchotchkes/gifts, and great customer service. Stop by if you're in the area.

Deep Vellum Books is a gem. Let me tell you why…read more Deep Vellum Books is the storefront and headquarters of Deep Vellum Books & Publishing, a nonprofit literary arts organization and the largest publisher of literature in translation in the US (I did not know that!!!!). They stock their own titles as well as a curated selection of literary fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. I visited with my family (dad, stepmom, adult siblings, husband) last weekend, and we spent way more time in the store than we expected to given the store's size. It's not large, but the store is packed with interesting and unusual and harder to find titles. I started to read a book's dusk jacket flap blurb, which led to a conversation about the book with the staff in the shop. (I bought it, I already read it, I loved it.) It's that kind of store - I was walking around, reading blurbs out loud to my family - finding book after book that piqued my interest. I left with a book, my siblings with two or three each, and my dad with at least one. There were six of us, and we bought maybe 8 books. The staff working the day we were visited were incredible, chatting with us about books, telling us about Deep Vellum, and answering our questions about their events. It's clear that people who work at Deep Vellum love books and that always makes shopping at a bookstore more wonderful. (I'm not sure I would have taken home the book I did if I hadn't chatted with a store employee for a few minutes about it - it's a little out of my wheelhouse - but I loved and I'm so glad I picked it up). The store hosts book clubs which sound amazing. I mean how many bookstores offer a "Homer Out Loud" book club that meets to read Homer's epics out loud once a week!? Or has a book club called "Underdogs in Space" that meets once a month to talk about underread sci-fi books?! If you're in Deep Ellum and you love to read anything at all - make your way over to Deep Vellum. It's a great organization and a great bookstore. I couldn't love it more.

The ppl who worked there are incredibly knowledgeable and can offer wonderful suggestions if you tell them the genres/writers you like, no matter how niche! They had a lovely array of diverse books--they featured books, authors, languages, genres, and themes from all backgrounds. There were lots of translated books and books they published there. There's also a book club they host if you're interested in joining--they read underrated sci-fi works and discuss them on site. 12/10 would come back again :)

It was my first time to enter this wonderful space devoted to the enjoyment of perusing and reading…read morebooks. In what I consider a very interesting addition, Paper Leaves also carries a variety of plants. Waxahachie is already well known for its over 200 historic structures in five historic districts. Paper Leaves lies on Water Street to the north of West End Historic District, the largest district with homes built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I love that Paper Leaves is SO Waxahachie in that respect! You step back in time here in high ceilinged book filled rooms with comfy, vintage and antique furniture, and just make yourself at home in such a special place. We entered from the back. The driveway and backyard look newly renovated and there are several parking spaces. The handicapped access to the business is in the rear and is smooth with a concrete ramp. The recent rain and wind has buffeted their lovely backyard, but there are two big areas for outdoor reading. They are shady with lots of chairs and look big enough for book clubs to meet. At the back, there is a small sunroom with lovely stained glass and three high tables and chairs set up for conversation or reading. The windows are enormous in this home with sun streaming in on velvet and brocade and velveteen sofas and chairs. Every room is a treat. A short stack of $1 Books and a (previous) dining room of used books were followed by what had been a parlor with a lovely fireplace and even more books. The foyer has the register and a very vertical staircase. The remaining downstairs room is an inspired Kids Books section with mysterious footprints on the floor and a bathroom! Paper Leaves has been altered to accommodate at least two (that I saw) spacious modern bathrooms with baby changing areas. The terrific front porch, the kind you always wanted, has a big ole swing and seating. There's used books and small exotic plants for sale out front. I saw a used copy of The Goldfinch for $7. The stairs are not steep. I mean, I'm 71 and had a hip replacement not all that long ago and I could make it up and down. Upstairs there's a very sunny reading room and all kinds of interesting paraphernalia on the floor and the walls of the landing. Then there's this astonishing windowed in sunroom. It's a lovely room with plants that have prices but no names. Just "Foliage." Yes, they can look them up. But, I knew a number of them anyway. Bonsai, many cacti and succulents, philodendron. Just gorgeous. All sizes. Hanging Baskets. Climbers. Teeny tiny little bitty plants in pots. Wonderful. I loved Paper Leaves. A very soothing, calming, good vibes place. But books and plants are my jam, so ... I can hardly wait to come back.

I stepped in and immediately greeted by a young woman and two other women. I learned the owners were away at a conference but have been running the store for 45 years! I asked about their gifts, arts, books, etc. and found their prices to be the same as online and they can get anything within a week. My good friend just released a book and I encouraged them to have it on their bookshelf since it is getting rave reviews from Sean McDowell and people will be asking about it. It's a very nice store that serves the community well. They'd love to serve you and your church!
