Book Lovers Heaven on Earth!!!!!!! What an experience to see…read morewhat your favorite author's have produced and be able to purchase the books and walk out and go home to read them. An amazing experience. The equivalent of going to a museum and taking in the aesthetic. If Ron Chamblin is there stop and thank him for his quest. One suggestion make a list of your favorite authors prior to going along with the books written by them that are on your bookshelves. This is a rare experience for the whole family!

General Chamblin review:…read more I feel inspired every time I walk into Chamblin. They have an amazing selection of books, rare, common, all used. When you walk in you can easily spend an hour wandering through the store finding your next read. They have books in other languages, many copies of the most popular books at amazing prices. The staff is great at pointing you in the right direction and then you get the fun of finding the book! Recommend for anyone looking for a fun, low-cost way to spend a day. This review is mainly about Lights Out at Chamblin bookmine: Amazing place to spend a day during Halloween season, or really any day. We went to lights out and walked around the maze of books. The staff was great and super friendly throughout the experience. We got to browse some books (at great prices) and get a fun Halloween experience! Recommend the Lights Out event at Chamblin!

Chamblin's is a staple not just for a snack and coffee, but due to the third space atmosphere it…read moreprovides as a whole. I love coming here for a quick coffee or veggie bagel, but the atmosphere and ambiance take the cake. This local, second hand bookshop is inclusive to everyone. Everything is fairly priced. I love getting a coffee or Greek yogurt cup and taking it to a reading nook on either the 1st or second floor. I've loved Chamblin's for years and hope it is here to stay.

The bagel was hot and really delivered on the jalapeño and cheese. And the chai latte had really good flavor. There was a good amount of seats, with good wifi, and I did see some outlets! The bookstore itself is also really nice. It's pretty organized but also feels kind of chaotic in the best way. And it's way bigger than I thought. I low-key got lost in the shelves, but they have signs pointing to the exit thankfully.

Don't sleep on your local bookstores!…read more We participated this morning in a group walk and afterward, of course we had to stop into the bookstore! It's basically the law - you're in San Marco square, you go to San Marco book store. The book selection is ever evolving so there is always some new treasure to discover among the stacks. And often, I find books in there less expensive than Amazon. And there is a selection of books with author signatures as well, for no additional cost. Some of the signed ones have been ordered from the publisher, but a good portion of those come from live author events the book store participates in. There are so many wonderful events you can attend here, like the author signings mentioned above (and of course a slew of other things) And often, those authors will sit for a chat. I discovered a new favorite author when I accidentally stumbled into one of those events. It was neat to hear her discuss her book and answer some great questions. The. Store is also very involved in the community around them which I love. (The owner even participates in the group walks in the area sometimes!) They also partner with the library for some larger author signings and other events. If you love reading, this is a must visit!

Located behind Cultivate on Park Street, Vanessa curates her tiny store with diverse and forward-thinking books spanning all genres of fiction and nonfiction, as well as adorable stickers and reading tchotchkes. I'm a big fan of their Blind Date with a Book, which you can also find at other local stores like Temporium. If they don't have a book that you may be on the look out, there's a little box to request it. They hold wonderful events that are inclusive of everyone, and they put the community first time and time again. They partner with other local businesses to host events, such as hosting their book club at Alewife (RIP) or now BREW. I think my favorite events that they've held have been the Book Club Fairs (where you can meet the leaders of different book clubs in Jax), Grown-Up Book Fairs (think Scholastic Book Fair for adults), and their Book Swaps (where you can bring up to 10 of your own used books and swap for 10 new-to-you used books).

If you know me, I have a huuuuge soft spot for bookstores and this was no exception! Walking in, it had a great layout and a variety of books. There was one staff member who was super friendly and helpful. I didn't end up buying a book (I have way too many and didn't want to add any to my luggage for my flight home) but I ended up buying a postcard with a wonderful illustration of the view right outside. 5 star recommend, support independent bookstores!
