    The owner (I assume) is wonderful about recommending books based on my last ones read. Great beach reading!

    The inventory is mostly what you'd call beach reading, but it is in a beach town.

    Went here for the 1st time on Sunday September 14th 2025 with my parents. I have been at a barnes…read moreand noble before, and love the bookshop vibes! Lots of books, and also music cds, and dvds! Located in Market Commons in Myrtle Beach, SC near the Stone movie theatre and other eateries nearby and within walking distance. We were actually walking from Kings Grille that was about 3 blocks away. Decided to look in here because I love to find a nice book to read. They had a lot of books from romance to steven king to biographies,cookbooks, magazines and more! They also have music cds, vinyls, and dvds for purchasing. Upon looking, I found The Wicked Soundtrack of the original broadway show, and decided upon getting it. I also was looking for a Percy Jackson series books- I think trials of Apollo- and all those books were in the kids section with the Harry Potter Books and Goosebumps. For kids, they also have lots of toys and jigsaw puzzles. An unique thing to Barnes and Noble is that they also had tons of Harry Potter items- such as legos where one can build the scenes of the movies, and various shirts too. I couldn't find trials of Apollo though, but it's okay! Store was clean and organized. Went to the front to pay for the Wicked Soundtrack. Hardly a line, Cashier was pleasant- paid with cash and the total was $13.00 for the cd! Got accurate change. Oh and they also have a starbucks here plus a cafe to sit down and read, and wifi too! Hope to be back soon!

    I walked in and went straight to the service counter where no one was working but no sooner than I…read moretouched the keyboard on the "employee only" computer a man appeared. He greeted me and I mentioned the author I was hunting. He did his computer magic and helped me promptly. I slapped him on the back and thanked him for helping me when no other book store could. I was in and out of B&N within 10min. Done!

    Great place to explore & even better place to find book treasures! I've been coming to Wilmington…read morefor the past decade yearly & I ALWAYS look forward to stopping by.

    January 24, 2026 - Old Books on Front Street is the friendliest bookstore I ever encountered. There…read morewere some inconveniences, yet they were unavoidable & being taken care of the best they could. This is why I am rating this bookstore 4.4 stars - rounds off to 4 stars. Excellent customer service - 5 Stars. The owner of the bookstore was at the entrance and greeted me & others immediately when we entered the bookstore. Upon entering, I noticed many areas were sectioned and off limits. I found out later that they were placing books back in the bookshelves after they were taken away to repair broken pipes in the store and to prevent them from getting damaged. There were a literary jukebox and vending machine dispensing capsules with quotes - both out of order. I still had a good time wandering around the bookstore and browsing books there. I found a book in the clearance section for 25 cents and purchased it. Despite the inconveniences in the store due to the building being old and being repaired by the owner herself, I am impressed by how personable & amicable the owner was and that she was repairing the pipes in the store by herself instead of hiring someone to do it. I know when the books are organized back on the shelves that I will probably come back and spend more time here. This is a bookstore to see in Wilmington again and again.
