    Stumbled upon this place after having lunch at the soda shop couple doors down. What an absolute adorable place. In an era where everything seems to be digital it's so nice when you come across an old school book store. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I bought one book because I was in a time crunch but can't wait to go back when I have more time to check out the selections.

    My all-time favorite mom and pop book store!! It's located in the Park Road Shopping Center. There are plenty of parking spaces so it's not bad. It's a cute, quaint little book store. From the moment you step in, you can smell the books and automatically are bombarded with different books and accessories. They have different sections. Fiction, nonfiction, crime, languages, and even school work books. They have a kids' corner and different seating options in the middle of the store in case you want to preview a book. It has a nice cozy feel to it, and the employees are very helpful if you have any questions or need help finding a certain book. If you're a fan of books and in this shopping center, definitely check them out.

    If you need books, Park Road Books should be your go-to spot. It's a great independent, locally-owned book store. They have a variety of options and knowledgeable staff that's always available to help. If you're in a book club, check out their book club program for discounts on your books! Also, dog friendly!

    This is one of the best bookstores in Charlotte. It is a cozy store with quite a few options available. It's located in one of the most popular and centrally located shopping centers in town. It has plenty of free parking available. I 100% recommend it!

    Just one of the finds I had no idea I needed!

    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.

    I love this place! This is my go to spot to grab a comfy place to sit get my work done in peace and…read moregrab a delicious blueberry Matcha. Hidden gem!

    Whenever we visit cities outside our hometown area, we always look for bookstores ... used books…read moreor new. On this visit to Charlotte, NC we stopped in at the Book Rack. Besides a focus on mystery and thrillers, they really had most genres covered. Most of the books here ... and they claim tens of thousands of books ... are used, and are generally on consignment from somebody. So quality varies, and you might find two copies of something in very different conditions and at matching price points. That being said, the selection was exceptional and well worth investigating. The Book Rack had an especially large selection of kids books ... which was great for us. The only downside of some of these large holdings is that they aren't all classified and organized. Sometimes a certain genre will just be stacked in crates or boxes ... but don't let that dissuade you. There are treasures to be found here. If you like books and enjoy the hunt, this place is for you. Recommended.

    I feel like I found a gem and wonder where have I been…read more This is a little bookstore that sells new and used books. I mean can this get any better. First time I went. I brought two books on house plants and planting in containers. I couldn't find any pies making or pound cakes baking books that were on my list but I emailed them to today to ask if any of these are available. They replied right away. Even though they didn't have the books I wanted. The customer service was great. They're willing to reserve these books if those come in. The cost of all the used books can be $5 to $8 which is great.. And if you follow them on Instagram. There's specials sometime. Go check them out
