One of the people I was with got prints of old planes as a gift for her husband, who loves them and I picked up some cute pins to add to my collection.

Super cool place. Lots of treasures. Everyday books for good prices and rare books. Love this place.read more

A perfect spot to spend a few hours if you really like books! I think they have all kinds of books…read moreacross every genre, but they have games and other fun pop culture things too. They also buy good quality used books and games and so on, and when we dropped ours off, they accepted everything. I could spend hours here, looking at all the different books, and of course, the really awesome Lego bin which my kiddo absolutely adores. We've already been twice and we will definitely be back. I found some great used books for work that were excellent value. If you need books, take a peek here first so you can save a couple dollars!

2nd & Charles in Hampton is one of my favorite "happy accidents" in the area. If you love books,…read moregames, records, or just browsing something that feels genuinely fun instead of generic, this place delivers every time. It's one of those shops where you can wander for way longer than you planned and still feel like you got something out of the trip. The selection is solid and eclectic. They've got new and used books across genres, a great vinyl section that actually changes often enough to make repeat visits worth it, and a lot of tabletop games and collectibles that aren't shoved into a corner. Everything is easy to flip through, and it doesn't feel like sensory overload. Staff are friendly and actually seem to know (or want to help you find) what you're looking for, which is something I don't take for granted. No blank stares or "I guess?" answers when I ask about a genre or game system. What I love most is that it doesn't feel like a chain store experience. It feels local, personal, and like a place that rewards curiosity. Whether I'm picking up a book I've had my eye on, discovering an album I forgot I wanted, or grabbing something neat for someone else, I always leave feeling like it was time well spent. If you're the kind of person who likes real browsing not the "hit checkout immediately" vibe this store is absolutely worth a stop. I'll definitely be back. My kid could stay there all day and be happy but I would be broke so we keep it to a time limit. Be careful!

This is an adorable boutique bookshop in Merchant's Square. To find it, look for Kilwin's and then…read morego down the steps toward the cute mural. They also have signage pointing the correct way. Since it's below street level, cell service is hit or miss. I was on SOS the whole time (Verizon), but my boyfriend on T-Mobile never lost service. He had to look up book reviews for me! It's a small shop with a nice range of book genres plus other gifts. I found earrings depicting a cat reading a book, so that was an obvious purchase for me. I also bought a book of cat poems for my coffee table.

Like many things at Colonial Williamsburg, the bookstore is unfortunately less refined and more…read moretouristy than it was years ago, but I think that's a reflection on the visitors and their tastes and Williamsburg's attempts to adapt to what people will buy. The book sections are smaller than they were, the video and music section is gone, and they've moved some of the food stuffs and home decorations from across the hall to fill the space. Still, there is a good selection of books on relevant history from Jamestown through the Civil War, decorative arts, architecture, trades and crafts, cooking and military history for the serious historian; and of course books on Williamsburg itself. Check out the bargain table for good deals on close out items.

Overall this place was cool but if you're not someone who enjoys the thrill of the hunt then this might not be for you.

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. Bookstore is reasonably sized. There were a variety of stickers, cards, and pins/buttons for sale. While they did have a good quantity of books, I wish there were more books by Black/Brown authors. Overall, the customer service was great. I did end up patronizing the store along with my friend. I purchased a bookmark, three buttons, and a gift card for my niece to give her full control of buying her next read! Worth stopping by if you're in the area.

I finally found an indie used bookstore not that far away from me! And it was great to see. The…read moreowner is very helpful and I liked the way he organized all of the books in the store. It was great to see all the used books stacked up to the ceiling and all over the store! It was a book lover's dream come true. All of the books are half off the original price on the back. The owner said this includes new books as well. If you want to get an additional half off, you can bring in your old books that you don't want anymore. This starts a store credit for you, it doesn't expire and there's no maximum amount you have to worry about. I ended up walking out with three books - I really showed some self restraint! - and now I know where I want to drop off some of my books that need a new home.

I was also given the green light to pick up as many complimentary bookmarks as I wanted!! Fair warning the bags are flimsy and not sturdy enough for books so be sure to bring your own bags!!

Wow! Jeannie's Used Bookstore is a hidden gem of Hampton Roads! A little slice of book heaven!This…read moreplace is packed wall to wall with an excellent and diverse collection of books. Books are well categorized, clean, dust free and in excellent condition. It's obvious that Jeannie takes great care in selecting only the best books to shelve and add to her massive collection. Prices are very reasonable, the average paperback is $1.99, and hardbacks $2.99 and up. Absolutely no super inflated prices here. Not to mention Jeannie is super friendly and helpful. It's incredibly hard not get caught up in this store. There are rows behind rows of books, and something for everyone. I bought 10 books on my first trip. Absolutely love Jeannie's! Bibliophiles beware!

She has stickers, bracelets , and other fun things to buy. Her and her husband do Santa and Mrs Clause pictures on Saturday in December which I thought was cool. I can't wait to go back to get more books.
