Great selection, suggestions for books, fabulous gift ideas; warm, welcoming & intelligent staff. I live in Hendersonville, yet do my buying with thoughtful people who do a great job for the consumer. This owner values her customers! read more

Perfect. It's clean, organized, and spacious, with half (Ok more like only a quarter) of a second floor full of YA. There's a ton of books with all kinds of authors, you'll find POC authors, LGBT+ authors, women authors, you name it. It's an incredibly inclusive shop which was such a refreshing find for me on my visit. The clerks are all super friendly. One thing I loved was that they had some medium post-its asking customers different questions. One asked for your favorite book, while the other asked what super power would you like to have. There were more and it was nice to have a fun little thought provoking thing while I waited for my sister to check out. Prices were reasonable and I'd definitely come back here if I'm ever near Brevard again. read more

Highland is a delightful small local bookstore that seems to fit this area just about perfectly. It carries a very good but not huge selection of books in most genres, and it has an especially nice YA section for those interested. We appreciate that they also sell some second-hand titles along with a variety of gifts and products made by local craftspeople, and there are comfy sports to sit down and read a bit. We can always find something we want when we stop in here. The staff is always happy to assist, and their location in the midst of downtown Brevard is convenient for most shoppers. read more

What a great bookstore. Wide variety of books. Comfortable seats. Would have loved a place like this as a teen, YA section was great. I picked up a book for my little niece. Please support local business and check it out. read more

Great little indie bookstore with a nice selection of a variety of book genres. They also have good size of manga section on a second level. There's a small section of gift items at the front near the new release section. Friendly service too. I made two trips there; first time I bought one book and read it within 2 days. Second visit I bought two books that time to hold me over longer. I signed up for their free book "club" even though I don't live local but for future visits. read more

Terrific bookstore. My first job and part of college job was an indie bookstore and this reminded me of that place. The reviews, mystery surprised boxes and books, the flowers and the lively atmosphere. This is true bookstore therapy and why we truly need to patronize our local indie bookstores! read more

Charming store with kind, helpful staff. They happened to have a copy of one of my favorite books, which has been notoriously hard for me to find. The staff didn't stop looking until they found it. I was extremely happy with my experience . read more

Highland Books - Books, Mags, Music & Video Near Me - Brevard, North Carolina

Cute little book store. All new books (meaning not used or second hand), with a decent number of sale items. A small selection of audio books, stationary, and gift items. I found some unique little boxes and other trinkets, and some beautifully carve wooden trays. I'd definitely stop in again to see what they have! read more

GREAT, tasteful, warm and inviting bookstore -- and with some beautiful "Fair-Trade" type gifts! Owners Peg and Tim and their staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about books, and they are so gracious to host really interesting authors, readings and book talks both local and beyond! I'm an online shopper too sometimes --- but let's spread our buying around to include supporting our cultural resources and gathering places like this wonderful independent bookstore (which also has its own shopping discount program). Thank you Peg and Tim for the love and commitment that keeps you keeping on! read more

Highland Books is quaint little bookstore that perfectly fits the town of Brevard. Although their selection isn't vast, they will offer to have any book ordered and shipped to their store. They also have a nice selection of cards, fair trade jewelry, and locally produced goods. Although it can't compete with some of the larger bookstores, it is a fantastic local option that features some fantastic work by local writers and has regular book signing events. I highly recommend giving Highland books a visit! read more
