Just went there this morning to a meet and greet with Jill Biden. Whole it was very crowded, the employees did an outstanding job and kept things very organized. There were alot of people working, checking on the customers in line. They offered water, seats for the elderly people and were great! Three cheers for them!!! read more

The main street leading up to the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk is filled with stores and restaurants. So many that it can feel overwhelming. So many that you may miss a gem amongst them. Sometimes, you also just need to pop in to get away from the crowd outside. I was walking for a while and came upon the storefront. The windows drew me in, plus I was in need of a good, new book to read. I came in and had no idea how large this place really was from the outside. I wandered around inside until I found the sections I wanted to be in. I browsed for a bit, jumping from section to section. I had one book in mind and was out to find it. Unfortunately, the book was not yet released. I had to ask where it was. That's when the staff were super nice and told me the date. I thanked them for the information, and was about to leave. That is until I saw an amazing tote behind the counter that had a print from the my favorite book when I was little. 'The Monster at the End of the Book' I thought the tote was just one sided, having Grover saying 'You turned the page.' Only to come and discover that when you turned it to the other side it has him saying 'You turned ANOTHER page.' Quickly became my new favorite tote to take with me. read more

Absolutely love this store!! So many neat things, and, as a local, I love coming here every week. It can get a little pricey, but for the most part it's reasonable. For the most part, the employees are pretty nice too. Also love the sticker assortment, and the whole Swiftie-themed section!! I hope to see more T.S stickers soon! read more

Love love love this bookstore! Soooo many books to choose from. Also really liked they had a section for just local authors and lgbt books. Also a fun selection of book related items and fun Knick knacks. My friends an I had fun and probably could've spent a few hours in here. They also have a selections of used books which is always nice to see! read more

there's two sides to this store: bookstore and the decor/home goods side. I always like the bookstore side. The genres are divided out clearly with signs and you can find topics of what you're interested in. They also have a large kids' section with books divided by age and with toys like legos and stuffed animals. They also have a bunch of cute knick knacks and feature local authors. I attached pictures of what I was interested in: Hokusai ukiyo-e prints and some manga of the anime I've watched. It's definitely a spot that everyone in your party will enjoy browsing - they have something for everybody! read more

I came in with friends after a very long beach day. After seeing they had some Rehoboth / Delaware themed stuff, I began looking for some touristy stickers for my journal spread. I got a Rehoboth sticker, a LOT of Taylor Swift stickers (inside a 3 shelf Taylor section with so much cute merch!!), and some Chappell Roan stickers. I also saw stickers from Snoopy and general reading (as well as specifically romance) and a few varied fandom stickers. As for books; they were listed by genre and the main display included top selling books, a brief description, and if an employee of the store read it and recommended it. They have a large selection of books and book accessories like bookmarks, tote bags, book themed merch like magnets etc. The employees were so so nice! I spoke with one at length about their sticker selection and she complimented my nails and own sticker collection from my journal as I took it out to store my stickers. Definitely this is the place to come for stickers, books, and other fun merchandise!! read more

Firstly- there's so much more than books here, even though that's what I was primarily interested in. There was a really great variety of books, in terms of genre, reading level, etc. I love the horror section and the inclusion of local authors. I was approached by a few different staff members, as they worked the floor. They were all very friendly. I felt like the items I bought were reasonably priced. There was a bargain section. read more

My favorite place in all of Delaware. Besides the books, they have a huge and stunning collection of gifts. There is no place better to grab the books you want and some treasures too. I'd give ten stars if I could. read more

A trip to Rehoboth means one MUST stop at this great local independent bookstore. Even off-season, they are open every day. They have nice gift items and great book selections. Also, they sell coffee at the front of the store. Books AND coffee? Yes, please!! read more

I had a blast in here! Altho' the selection is small & limited, there was so many interesting things to look through, snoop around, and find. You never know what you will find here! Eclectic & weird, but also tons of the common generic things, if that's your thing! It was PACKED FULL OF PEOPLE the entire time I was there, and hard to move about! If, and when, I ever return to Rehobeth, which there's a strong chance of, I AM COMING BACK! read more

This is my absolute favorite bookstore in the world. It has so many books that you wouldn't typically see at Barnes and Noble. There are also rows and rows of staff selections, which is amazing, because instead of only seeing the newest selection (though they do have that as well) there are a lot of older books that you may have never stumbled upon before. The only downside is that everything there is pricey. For example, I bought a flavored chapstick for $5. I also bought a Hammond's chocolate bar for $5 as well, proving that I'm a sucker. They also have a coffee bar, juice, snacks, and tons of other things for sale. You can get coasters, things for the bathroom, specialized soaps, shower bombs, and all kinds of other things. I could spend the whole day in here. There's just that much to see. read more

This is a fun book store right on the main road in Rehoboth Beach. There is a section for every book worm here and toys and kids games. Our kids love reading and had a fun time in this shop. Highly recommend for anyone needing some books. read more

I love coming here. Not only do they have some great staff selections to look through if you're unsure of what type of book to get, but they also have an excellent store side that includes lots of kid items & adult gifts too. I can find multiple things I'd want whenever I come here, so my basket never leaves empty by the end of my shopping experience there. The quality & value of their book selections, to the gifts they have is top notch. read more

Favorite bookstore I've been to. Yes, some of the pricing is higher but they have an amazing selection. Staff is always so kind and helpful. I love that they have local authors who set up and sign your books. They also offer free bookmarks. read more

I do not understand that each time I go into BB, one of the youngish blonde clerks has always been dismissive to me and others. This morning (14 July) while waiting to pay she took care of the person in front of me and then just walked away, no excuse me or I will be right back, just walked away. Quite a few times she has done this to me. I keep trying to be a loyal customer, but this behavior is totally unacceptable and will do my best to not patronize this store whenever I see her there. Her behavior was confirmed by a customer standing behind me, thus a witness. Please council employees on what minimum standards of service you expect, that is any is expected? read more

Oh my goodness! The best bookstore ever!!! Like I need to go back now, sleep in a sleeping bag and wait for them to open tomorrow. Ha! Once side is like a gift store. They have so many items. A little pricy in the side to be honest. But, the selection is amazing! The book side... gosh they have everything! From journals, kids books, activity books, games, magazines, cookbooks, books... so much!!!!! The staff was so helpful on both sides. The staff on the book side were so helpful by taking our books we had and putting them on a counter so we could do more damage to our wallets... lol. But, seriously the best!!! I will definitely return some than later! read more

Browseabout Books on Rehoboth Avenue in downtown Rehoboth is fantastic. You could be looking for a specific books or walk in and see what title grabs you and demands you bring it home. Lots and lots of books & notecards (at fine price points) and then you cross the dividing line and you are in a housewares shop with all the blue-hues of homeware items to remind you of your amazing visit to the Delaware beaches. The service is terrific (just ask anyone what they are doing this summer). Open until 10 PM daily including Sundays. Love it. read more

I love this place. Eclectic, funky, and full of so many wonderful books. The place smells like the most wonderful library of old masterpieces and it's full of creative decor and a smattering of antiques you can actually purchase. Plus, they play a mix of a wide variety of music. I was literally singing and humming along with everything from Peter, Paul, and Mary to John Denver to Natalie Cole to some Gregorian chant. I could have spent all day in there but they were closing and I gathered my my book selections. The people who run it are very knowledgeable. Our parting conversation was about The Canterbury Tales and Beowulf. You don't get cool music and delightful banter at the big chain stores. BUY LOCAL! SHOP BROWSEABOUT BOOKS!!! read more

Upon first glance, Browseabout Books looks like another tourist gift shop near Rehoboth Beach. But don't be fooled. When you enter, pass the gifts up front and find the large book collection in the back. They have every section possible from travel to young adult to cookbooks. Most impressive is their kids section complete with games, puzzles, toys and all kinds of books, including books that expose your kids to different types of people and backgrounds. We ended up buying a few educational books for our four-year-old daughter at the store. read more

Browseabout reminds me of a Barnes and Noble but as a small business. It's more than just a small bookstore. They have a cafe and ton of small items all around. It really is a lovely place. If I lived around the area I would definitely become a member here and frequent this shop. I could see myself shopping here for any of my book needs because they have older options as well as new releases. They even have a used bargain section in the back. The staff was really friendly too. Everything was set up nicely and was easy to find. Can't wait to come back here during my next Rehoboth trip! read more

Browseabout Books is located in downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware just a few blocks from the boardwalk. The store is fairly large and has a large selection, including a teen section. Sundry items are also available for sale such as soaps, toys, coffee, etc. Most ckerks were helpful and acknowledged my presence, and prices are reasonable . I wish they had a couple more chairs, but I understand with the pandemic and not wanting customers to nap in their store read more

Fun shop with lots to look at. They not only have a big book selection but they have toys, nick-nacs, beachy themed house items, and other products to keep you looking around for hours. My daughter and I had a nice time looking around at all of their products. We spent most of the time look at the different stickers that they had available. She got a Taylor Swift Eras and Capybara sticker. The clerk at the front check out was super friendly and knowledgeable about the books they had available. read more

What a great shop! Of course you'd expect books and their selection is well curated, but also cards, socks, housewares, toys, puzzles and art supplies. I wish every town had one! SUPPORT FOR LOCAL BOOKSTORES! read more

Darling book store with a great selection of literature, educational toys, kids' art supplies, and souvenirs. We spent way too much money-- hundreds of dollars-- because we found something for everyone on our list! lol The staff were very patient with our littlest guests from out-of-town who were very enthusiastic about the store and its selection. Based on how the kids were treated we'd be back again, and I'll bet we'll find more treasures on our next visit. If I lived in the area and needed last minute gifts, this would probably be my first stop. read more

This bookstore has been a Rehoboth staple since I was a little girl! My mom and I would spend hours in there when we would take our girls vacation. My mom is gone now...but this bookstore is still a special place for me. I can spend an afternoon just browsing. My husband will tell you I leave with an armful of books every time. These locally owned bookstores are of a bygone era! We need to deliberately visit and purchase from local bookstores so that they do not disappear. There is a charm in this bookstore that I don't think can be replicated. They have something for everyone and if you can't find it...they will get it for you. I also recommend the staff picks....I often find new authors through their suggestions! Words can not describe the experience you will have when you enter this bookstore!! Don't miss it!! read more

In recent years I've found myself falling in love with Rehoboth Beach, and this bookstore is one of the main reasons. Browseabout has a solid selection of books as well as lots of toys, gifts, and beachy products. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere just makes it a very pleasant place to shop at. No visit to Rehoboth is complete without a stop at Browseabout. Do your part to support independent bookstores and stop by -- you won't regret it. read more

I stopped in here the other day for two childrens' books. The selection was great, with lots of other fun gifts and the space itself is large. It's nice to see a local bookstore still in business. I would become a member if I lived in Rehoboth. We got Old MacDonald Had a farm and Goodnight Delaware for our baby nephew. Total for both was $ 29. read more

There is nothing closer to heaven for me like a little local book store! There is so much to browse through here! From crazy socks to gorgeous home decor and must I say THE BOOKS! They even have candy, puzzles, games, toys and so much more! My husband travels for work and I get to go with I'm pretty much all summer (because I work at a school) and I seek out these little book shops and I must say... this one is probably my favorite one anywhere! The set up, what they offer, how friendly the staff was, and the fact that it is just steps from the beach... I love it all! I can't wait to come back when I have more time to spend browsing! read more
