    Love it! Very cute store that is bigger on the inside than what you expect. Lots of games and toys and a second floor full of books.

    Ack, this place is absolutely perfect. I love all kinds of bookstores of all shapes and sizes, but…read moreI have a special place in my heart for small, kind of tucked away spots with lots of used books and great prices and nice owners. Check and check and check. It's on Wall Street, the street behind Main Street in Waynesville, so don't sleep on it and do take the small alleyway down to Wall and into the underground feeling bookstore. There, you'll be in the labyrinth of literature, a veritable hallowed hall of hardbacks, a perfect little palace of paperpacks. The shop is very reasonably priced; I found a title from 1953 for just $4 and added it to my read-while-traveling library. I also had a lovely conversation with the owners who have stewarded the shop in its current iteration and who really love what they're doing. Worth your time to step away from Main for a moment, you'll definitely discover something when you do.

There is also a dog inside and he loves to show off his toys and receive pets! I overheard a conversation going on between a customer and the owner/worker where they mentioned that there is a book club where they bring food/snacks to it, which sounded pretty neat. The prices of books in the store were nicely priced and like most other book store prices around.

Malaprop's Bookstore and Cafe is at the heart of downtown Asheville and blends well with other local businesses. The bookstore has its charm. The bookstore carries many tending and new releases of books. I'm intrigued that the bookstore hosts weekly events and some quirky magnetic and trinkets.

    Malaprop's will forever be one of my favorite indie bookstores. I first fell in love with it back…read morein 2021 when I lived in AVL. I liked the name so much because I was the type of person who used malaprops a good amount. It's extra charming because you're able to order something from their cafe while reading your book. This spot is deceptively huge. The different sections are very intentional and beautifully organized. I had an especially great time looking at the "Beautiful Books" section this visit. I ended up falling in love with a short stories book by Chips Hardy that I took home. I also adored their graphic t-shirts here. I am not a big t-shirt person, but always want more graphic tees, so was so excited to love this one so much. I had a really special experience with one of the booksellers here on my recent visit too. I could not find The Enchanted April in the fiction section and when I asked, one of the booksellers got really excited about the author and that book. She passionately told me how wonderful the book was. We were sad to see it was sold out, but suggested I check a bookstore a block over. I love this bookstore and think everyone should make it a stop on an Asheville trip.
