    Main Street Books, Davidson NC
    Bruce K.

    Neat bookshop. I really did not intend to do more than browse but as I walked through the shop, I realized that I needed a birthday gift for my daughter and then another gift for my wife and before you knew it, I had enough stuff that I didn't have any free hands to pick up any more. Oops. Great stuff, prices are reasonable, staff is helpful. [Review 12629 overall, 2421 of 2019.]

    cozy without being cramped, knowledgeable and well read staff, regular supporters of local nonprofits. Nothing bad to say about these folks.

The process was super easy. I went partly in hopes of finding a used copy of a novel my Book Club has been wanting to read, but isn't at the library. I was shocked/overjoyed to find TWO copies, both of which I purchased on the spot. Great value for sure. Can't wait to go back & browse their selection more fully when I have more time. (I will definitely be bringing more books to trade-in also.) *The shopping center where this is located has a lot of other fun gems also- check out Ferrucci's!

I love physical books, but don't buy them often because I have a Kindle and because they've gotten expensive over the years. HOWEVER, give me a deal and it's on! HAHA! I had never been to this book store until the sale. It's small, but there's such a good selection of used books. The used books are also in really good shape. The team member on site the day we went was GREAT! He took the time to assist us in looking for books on our lists and giving us recommendations for other books to read. I also like the idea that you can bring the books back that you purchase, for a percentage off on your next book. Check them out, explore the selection they have, and support local!

Parking is off street and free. The building appears newer and is an attractive modern design. The whole family was touring Davidson and stopped into browse. We were quickly approached for assistance, My son was looking for a Davidson Swim shirt, my daughter anything really. My daughter found something and my son struggled because nothing with swim. They did have a cap with swim, but he was not interested. He did end finding something. The store is packed with so much merchandise it's hard to imagine not finding something perfect. Checkout was the best part as it was friendly and helpful. The woman had lots of tips for us and was extremely supportive of Davidson.

Never acknowledged me even standing there for over ten minutes. It does not take two people to ring up one person. Maybe if they stopped having a full on conversation and actually worked this place would have better customer service. You can tell they probably never held a real job a day in their lives and this is either a part time thing to get out of the house or just doing it to socialize. The place is over priced but I was gladly going to support a small business. Well, two can play that game. You want to act inconsiderate then I will take my money elsewhere.

    Love this place!!! Decided to meet up with a friend for coffee (well tea for me) and she suggested…read morethis place as 'the perfect spot'. And it was. I read through some of the other reviews and I want to set the record straight. Yes, it's inside a church but there is a separate entrance. Yes, there are Christian books but also other genres. Yes, the coffee is very affordable BECAUSE all the staff are volunteers. No one is getting paid and they LOVE what they do. All smiles and great service. The proceeds go to local and global missions of the church. Win, win all the way around. The place itself is very spacious. Two levels. The seating areas are comfortable and far enough apart you can have some semiprivacy if you need it. My friend who brought me says she comes here all the time to study (she's in college). All of the staff knew her by name. (love places like that) I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't really speak to the coffee (although my friend says it's pretty good). I am a tea drinker though and they have a variety of flavors, some refresher juice drinks, a few pastries. Please support. Every now and again if you're thinking of getting coffee or a pastry, choose them. Why not? Do some good for the community through others who are committed to giving back.

This location is in a strip mall and is small, but it's warm and inviting. We walked around and saw some pretty cool things, from books to games to Legos and everything in between! I love how the layout flowed. There were little seating areas that you could patronize and get lost in a book. The store is obviously brand spanking new, so everything was clean, neatly organized, and fully stocked. I love that! There is a cafe in the store with some tables and seats. I saw some people on their laptops, so this would be a great place to work out of, or just to get out of the house to get some creative juices flowing. Bookstores always tend to be a bit on the pricey side, but I love how you can just grab a book and either enjoy it in the store or purchase it right away if you're not willing to wait from ordering online. Such a cute location right up the street from us, I look forward to coming back and getting more books!
