I love this place! It is in downtown front royal in an old building that is crammed with books. Old…read morebooks, new books, veritable antique books, cards... Royal Oak has some nice perks. They will buy some used books - just bring them in when you come to shop! They also have a rebate card. You get a stamp for every five dollars you spend, and when the card is full you can turn it in for a 15% discount on your purchase! The cards never expire which is an added bonus. They have a good civil war section, and a section devoted to local history including trail maps and tour books. They also have unique notecards and a good variety of autographed books, and will order any book you need if they don't have it. Parking is a bit limited. There is a small lot behind the store which you can access by turning down Stonewall (at the car dealership), and then taking the second gravel lane on the left - this is a back alley that leads to the parking lot. I never walk away empty-handed. Even if there were a chain book store in town (which there is not), I would still shop here.

I ended up buying more than what I went in for, but there is nothing wrong with having more books and more knowledge. I will be going back. Prices were the same for new books on Amazon, so I consider that a good deal.

There is such a wide array of gift options from jewelry to food. I come to this strip mall 3-4 times a week and have tried all the different restaurants and purchased foods to take home and/or give away as gifts. I've recently wasted time and money at the nearby Butcher Station restaurant for their rude service and insipid food, so it made me appreciate Creekside Gifts for their service and versatility even more. I highly recommend this spot for trinkets and take home foods.

From paintings, to woodworking, to knitting and crocheting, to metal and glass work, to handmade jewelry, to macrame to housewares, to handmade soaps and candles ... this fascinating store will have you mesmerized. There's even a book nook offering writings from local authors. Due to these uncertain times, with so many of us hunkered in at home more these days, it was refreshing to see the creative juices of these artists flowing. Donning our masks, (and by the way, they had some cute, unusual handmade masks for sale) we meandered through this inspiring place and purchased many cool items! If you get a little stir crazy and get the chance to get a change of scenery, be sure to pop into this arts and crafts bazaar!

Cool little hobby shop in Old Towne Warrenton, VA!\…read more I was looking for some very specific O-gauge model train set related stuff - but at the time - they did not carry a lot of product in that area. In addition to the various hobby shop related wares - there are lots of neat little bits to the store - a miniature old school pinball machine; a little red wooden wagon mounted on the wall; upstairs on a door - a sign that painted with the words: "The Speakeasy," harkening back to an earlier time when a previous business conducted wine tastings and such upstairs at this location. All the staff members I met and interacted with were helpful and very nice! #WarrentonHobbyShoppe

However, go elsewhere for trading in stuff. I was given a lowball offer for some games and a collectible I brought in and the owner wasn't happy because one was imported.

In the end, if you find what you are looking for, that's great! but go elsewhere to get better values for your trade ins.
