It's cozy, beautifully curated, and has that welcoming, "stay awhile" atmosphere. They have comfy seating along with coffee & teas available to enhance your experience. The store selection is thoughtfully chosen--new releases, children's books, local authors and unique finds such as jigsaws puzzles, fabulous unusual greeting cards, socks, trinkets you don't see in the big chains, and plenty of great seasonal gift ideas tucked in throughout the shop. The pricing is very reasonable. Parking is a breeze with spaces in front of & behind the shop. The staff are genuinely kind and incredibly knowledgeable without being overly intrusive. They're always ready with the perfect recommendation, whether you're in the mood for a new thriller, a thoughtful memoir, or something special for a friend. You can feel how much they love all things books. It's the kind of spot that makes you want to linger, browse, and come back often. It is a wonderful independent bookstore and a real treasure find in Mount Pleasant.

My choices were a bit…read morelimited on this area, but I stumbled upon Buxton Books while we were shopping on King St. The outside of the building is just gorgeous, but I wasn't a fan of what it had to provide inside. The selection was a bit limited and I had a hard time finding the titles I was on the search for. The layout of the store was also a bit cramped which made it hard to navigate around other customers. Overall, a very cute photo opportunity but it might be hard to find what you're looking for.

The store itself is absolutely beautiful with various rooms decorated with trinkets, bookmarks, clothing, tote bags and more! What I love best about BC is the diversity in authors and titles. While there are a few popular titles there are several you won't find in mainstream stores. I really appreciate how nice and beyond this is and it's refreshing to find new books to read whenever I'm in instead of seeing the same thing over and over again. BC is big in supporting local so all vendors she displays are local, as well as the fresh baked goodies and breads. I cannot recommend this store enough. It's a 10/10! Alexis and her staff (every single one of them) are incredible and the kindest people. They always have the best recommendations for your next best read.

To top it all off, there is coffee available and the most helpful staff you've ever met. Support your local bookstores! Especially this one!

There's a large selection of clearance and not-clearance CofC apparel, a mini B&N book area, a selection of school supplies at moderately reasonable prices, and the textbook area. I was pumped to find a clearance area of the B&N area which included recent books, not just outdated books of no interest.

I have always liked this store and enjoy being able to come here often.

We drove to this store from Mt. Pleasant so a specific DnD book could be purchased. We wanted,…read moreespecially in current times, to support a small, local business instead over a large, national chain store (where we could have very easily obtained the book with much less driving.) While this type of store is not something I personally would seek out (full disclosure: I went because my partner wanted to), I was immediately hooked when I walked in. I loved the stickers and signs I saw on the windows and door before even walking in. I was ecstatic to see the store highlighting the work of Black/African-American comic-book writers and characters at the front of the store. The game and book options were seemingly endless, even for someone like me who doesn't know a whole lot. And, prior to driving out there, we called just to make sure the certain books were in stock. An employee answered the phone, well before store open, and kindly checked the store in order to best answer our question(s). Both prior to entering and even while in there, the customer service was great. Under normal circumstances, I think I would rate this store a 5/5. I struggle to write this review without mentioning safety cautions, which are important for me at this time for myriad reasons. I've debated whether I should mention these things in these types of reviews (maybe that's a conversation for a different time), and I'm willing to remove or edit when it is no longer relevant. However, what bothered me, a lot, actually, was the lack of social distancing precautions taking place within the store. No employees were wearing masks and only half of the customers in the main area of the store were wearing masks. The store still had their separate section (a room that is attached, but separated from the main store) operating for game time, and at least 10 young adults (~20s) were there eating snacks and playing games. While I only quickly peeked inside (before realizing it wasn't part of the store), I saw only one person sitting at a table playing games wearing a thin mask. As a health scientist and health-cautious individual, this bothersome to me for various reasons, with one of them being my comfortability with leaving the house, especially for non essential items, is not high. When I do go somewhere, however, I expect and hope that places are at least follow minimum recommended CDC guidelines. Because they were totally lacking at Green Dragon this weekend, my partner and I purchased his book and quickly left as fast as possible. We talked about this the entire car ride home - wondering why this was the case? Why aren't the employees concerned for themselves? Or their customers? How should I rate the review because of it?Perhaps most disappointedly, we discussed how under other circumstances, we would have been in that store for at LEAST an hour, and probably longer, looking and likely purchasing way too many games and books for ourselves, our family, and friends. Because this is so important to me, I've decided to rate 3 stars and cut the difference, while being fully transparent in explaining my reasoning. My initial reaction was to rate 1 star altogether because of this, frankly because I find it so unacceptable and astonishing, but I want to try my best to also be balanced and fair, to a degree, realizing that if we all weren't facing these unprecedented times, my impression of the place wouldn't be close to what it is. My plan is that following the pandemic, I hope to return. When I do, I am certain I will change my review to 4 or 5 stars.
