Completely agree with the previous review, there's really no selection here at all. This bookstore…read moreshould be branded as a romance genre seller. They have one other teeny tiny section of mystery and it wasn't thrilling. This store is located right inside the Styertowne Shopping Center. Tons of parking and it's easy to spot. Debbie, the owner is very sweet and greeted me when I walked in. It's a good bookstore if you're looking for romance novels. From what I saw, not all the books were priced either. Overall, if romance is your jam this is the place for you. If you're looking for variety and a selection of genres skip this bookstore.

So I love small bookstores and am all about romance novels so I thought this was going to be my new…read morespot. Wrong. All the books were stored terribly, and for their condition (poor) the prices were way too high. Me being me I was going to buy something anyway to support a small business until the incident. A young guy wanted to sell books and came to the door with a box. In the store was just me, the owner, the owner's husband, and I'm guessing a friend of theirs. The husband was leaving and the young guy I suppose assumed he worked there and asked him to put his mask on (he must have taken if off while leaving) and the husband said I don't work here and the young guy said oh sorry. No big deal right? Apparently it was because the husband came back in the store yelling how cancel culture is enough and he's "from the streets" and doesn't take this. He went on and on about how liberals are ruining America, drinking the koolaid, and are brainwashed. The shop owner/wife agreed stating "it's *R-word* and if you're so afraid stay in your house for the next 50 years. See you then." It left a horrible taste in my mouth to hear these people freaking out over nothing, just a young guy taking precautions. I bought nothing and definitely will not be going back. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

A wide selection of books with great prices, which also supports a good cause. Highly recommend.read more

On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

5 minutes before B&B books was closing, I buzzed the room located on the third floor to see if they…read morewould let me in "just to look." Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.

Usually clothes are $1 each if you're just shopping, and there are gifts, books, and plants for sale for more. The selection was a little slim for a tall and plus size woman, however, like all thrift shops, lots of options for petite and small women, and for medium size men. Even so, and with a limited picked-over selection during my visit, I did find 3 items for the 3 bottles I donated and helped keep the cycle and art going. Love when an artist can use their power to bring attention to shops like this in the community!
