Carmichael's is a must-visit every time I am in Louisville. The booksellers are some of the nicest…read morepeople I have ever met (to the bookseller who complimented my Dan and Phil shirt-- you rock!). Everyone I have met there has been an avid reader and offered great recommendations. The store is laid out in an inviting and cozy way. It's easy to browse and get lost in the rows of shelves. I specifically found myself lost in the religion and spirituality section for over an hour last time because they had such a great collection of books. I especially loved all the local and regional authors I was able to find! I don't ever expect indie booksellers to have sales, so seeing so many discounted options was a treat for me! Everything is reasonably priced without the sales, too. Do not miss Carmichael's if you're in Louisville; it's simply the best!

The Rosewater is a used bookstore that is ran by volunteers and supports the south end community…read morewith their sales. We were greeted right away by a volunteer working to organize and check-in donated books. One side of the renovated house holds fiction and another holds non-fiction. Upstairs is a kids area, restroom, and closets full of paperbacks. A few tables and the closets offered 3 or 2 books for $1. Quite a deal when you are like me, not searching for a particular book, just looking for an interesting story. In the front room near the register you can find vintage and collectible books as well as new arrivals. I also appreciated that coffee and tea were made for those that wanted to sit and stay awhile. Tell your friends about the Rosewater - I'm sure it's a hidden store. I've been incredibly close to it (across from the Streatery) and had no idea! Because it is a used bookstore, you can't guarantee they have what you're looking for, but the thrill is in finding what you didn't know you needed. Street parking is fairly easy to find. Near food and coffee shops.

a wonderful and affordable bookstore! I came for Indie Bookstore Day and i appreciate the wide…read moreselection here. All books are under the flat price of $5 for paperbacks and $7 for hardcovers with some books that are in their sales closets for even cheaper. They also have a great kids selection. This place is also nonprofit and run by volunteers!

Foxing Books has a great social page and I enjoy watching their posts. When I found myself only a…read moremile away, I was excited to stop by. The private parking lot makes it easy to get in and out. The bookstore offers the standard sections - kids, fiction, non-fiction and fun accessories. The team has infused their personalities in the selection of books and items for sale - from the "stay foxy" apparel and blank books for writing to their wrapped books with bad reviews. The space is smaller than I expected. There's seating in the kids area, but not elsewhere. This is more of a shop for a bit, then head out experience. Very friendly staff. Reasonable prices and tags nicely marked. Recommend you add this to your shop local list!

The prices are super reasonable and the selection includes the highlights of most genres. They host multiple free events such as a book club, writing salons, and book swaps.

I really wnjoy this little bookshop. I came here on one of their book & craft swap nights, and had…read morea wonderful time. I try and only buy 2nd hand books, and they had a wonderful selection here! My only complaint is this location sucks. Genuinly the area around here is all old rail roads and industry, then you come to a building with some murals and this store is inside there. I love how its in the west side of town, but like I never come here because there is literally nothing else in that area, and honestly I wouldn't go there when its dark. Really loved the staff here, I chatted with a woman and she was an absolute delight to just chit chat with! Ill come back for other events if I can, and buy more books!

Stalwart Books is awesome! This retail shop where you'll find not only books, but also gifts and…read morecrafts, is located in Logan Street Market. All proceeds from the shop go to support a non-profit called OneWord, which provides literacy access and education for those in need in the Louisville area. Stalwart accepts donated books, so if you have any you're looking to clear out of your house, you should definitely consider donating here! Any and all books are accepted, everything from adult novels to children's books, so don't toss anything, just bring them here instead. The owner of the shop is a social worker who has worked in the non-profit world. She had a dream to own a bookstore that would support community literacy, a cause that is personally dear to her, and she's realized that dream with Stalwart! (I recommend reading the bio of the shop on the Logan Street Market website, there's more awesome information there.) I really can't speak highly enough of this shop. It's easily accessible within the market, offers tons of merchandise to shop for such a small space, takes donations, and all proceeds go to benefit an important cause. Plus, you'll receive great service! Stephanie is really friendly, and she's there to help if you're looking for something specific. If you're in the market for books or gifts, definitely make Stalwart one of your first stops!

VERY interesting place! Yes, it is run out of the owners house, but you would swear he sleeps on…read morebooks! They are wall to wall, first editions, etc. It's not your typical bookstore with a rack for popular sci-fI, or fantasy, he has complete rooms dedicated to history, arts, self-help, etc. but they are mostly old. The smell of old books permeates the entire house. It's a beautiful thing. Go spend an hour looking at historic Louisville books, (I found a courier journal cookbook from the mid eighties here!) or go upstairs to peruse a wall of art! It's a fantastic place!

The new space is gorgeous! I hadn't visited since the move from Logan Street. The shop is more than…read moreI could've imagined and I hope to find an event to attend so that I can enjoy the pink room with its pillows and rugs a little longer: Grace greeted us and she is lovely. She helped us with pricing and to know the promotions, and overall was nice to speak with while we shopped. The front room includes crystals and herbs, alongside bundles for cleansing, anointing oils, candles, and tarot cards. The second room offers essential oils, jewelry with crystals, and other wearable items. I especially loved the witches bells. Readings were available yesterday and I believe this is a regular occurrence. Part of me wanted to stay and experience this, but the other piece of me was overstimulated by the crowd in the store and shopping with my +1. I'll be back for this when the timing feels better. This is a beautiful, women-owned, local shop and I hope you'll join me in visiting.
