The range here is striking, with shelves that reward both wandering and intentional browsing. I was especially impressed by the African American history and literature section, which felt thoughtfully curated rather than perfunctory. Beyond the books, the prints are truly stunning. There's a particularly rich selection for anyone drawn to Eastern Shore imagery, from lithographs to historic maps that feel both scholarly and artful. It's the kind of place where time slows, your hands fill with discoveries, and you leave already planning a return visit.

Great place to grab a coffee, flip through some books, and just hang out for a bit. It's got a relaxed vibe. If you've got kids, it's an easy win; there's a small reading area inside and a patio with this cool little wooden playhouse that kept mine busy for a while. We ended up staying way longer than planned just chilling. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I want something easy and laid-back.

This…read morebookstore has an amazing selection, including some truly adorable and memorable print postcards that are perfect for friends and family. So much could be done with this place. It's very disorganized, and there are wayy too many books for the space. The owner doesn't seem too interested in patrons unless you directly engage her. Nonetheless, if you're a big mystery book fan, take a look here. They have some gems that you won't find easily on Amazon and the owner can offer some great suggestions. Definitely go if you're a mystery book lover who doesn't mind a bit of disorganization.

They take credit cards!!!…read more I read about The Dollar Book Shuffle on a website that highlights fun things to do in Delaware. Since Trap Pond State Park was already on my radar, I was psyched to discover they are just 9 minutes apart. The sign out front says they're open 5 days a week, but a handwritten notice on the door explains they are currently only open 3 days (Fri, Sat, Sun). Everything inside is $1ea, with baby books only $0.50ea, or you can fill a bag with baby books for $10! They have over 40,000 used books, and over 15,000 DVDs and CDs. I asked about organization to help me get to what I needed quickest, and they said apart from genre categories, they don't have the manpower to further organize. That was understandable, especially for the price. I appreciated that things were at least divided into genres. I'd hoped to be able to spend more time there, but my pontoon boat tour of Trap Pond afforded me only a half hour. I bought 14 books, and paid $14 even on my credit card. I spent my time in the children's book section. There were some award winning writers, like Mem Fox, a bunch of vintage books I found interesting, a couple story anthologies (always good to have a couple of those), some nonfiction animal/atlas/truck/etc. books, and a bunch of decent quality late20/21st C story books. I got a mix and was pleased. They did have some of those licensed character crap books, written like junk, just to capitalize on Elmo, Disney, etc. but they were easy enough to weed through. I regret I did not get to look through more book sections, nor the DVDs/CDs. It felt a bit hot inside, and I don't think they have a/c (or it is broken), but it's not terrible. The building is like a pole barn with concrete floor, so it may just not have HVAC in it. Just something to note in extreme heat or cold. All in all, a really great store and fun experience. They are almost 3 hours from my home, but I would love to return when I'm in the area again!

What a charming new and used bookstore in fed hill. I've seen this store for years and years and…read morenever stopped in. But I was in the area checking out a new vintage store and thought I'd pop in. Retail is kind of dying in this area, but book escape was thriving. There were lots of people in there browsing and reading. There's a really cute back area with a mermaid mural and a reading nook. There's a lot of brand new books sold at 15% off, which are among the best sellers list. I thought in this economy - what a steal of a deal that is! The front desk is right around the front corner and the owner seemed nice. There's a huge selection of music in the corner and I thought that for a used bookstore, it was really well organized. It is a little clustered, but overall really bright and airy and lots of books!
