When I tell you this bookstore is absolutely beautiful and eclectic, I truly mean it. From floor to…read moreceiling, the shelves are packed with books ranging from vintage finds and timeless classics to newer reads, making it feel like there is something here for every kind of reader. They also carry stunning leather bound books along with drawing supplies for the artists and creatives out there. Wandering through this bookstore felt like stepping into a magical little world that I genuinely did not want to leave. Even though we stopped in close to closing time, the owner never once made us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. She was incredibly welcoming, kind, and happy to have us there. This is exactly the kind of local shop I will happily return to again and again, not just to continue exploring the endless stacks of books, but to support and see the wonderful people who run it as well.

The staff was very nice and loved our dog and gave her lots of attention. This place goes back pretty far and has a large selection of old and new books.

I thought it was just ok but I would still recommend folks checking it out once if you're in the area and a fellow book lover. There is mixed used and new books. I don't mind but would prefer for the used books to be it's own selection. There were also book things which was nice to browse but definitely boutique pricing. There was a super friendly dog here when I visit that was the highlight of my visit!

I've been coming here for years, and it continues to be one of my favorite places in Wilmington. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the booksellers are incredibly knowledgeable about their selection. They're always able to offer thoughtful recommendations without making you feel pressured. I especially love the children's section. They carry so many interesting and unusual books that you just don't find in your average bookstore. I also really appreciate how much Pomegranate supports the Wilmington community, including local authors. And I have to mention the owner, Kathleen. She is genuinely one of the nicest business owners I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. You can tell how much she cares about the store, her customers, and the community. Pomegranate Books is a Wilmington treasure, and I always make a point to stop by when I'm in ILM.

Overall it was a bit chaotic with books everywhere but it adds to the personality of the place.

I think the prices were fair although I didn't find anything I was specifically looking for (my to be read list is already pretty long)

There seemed to be a fair amount of merchandise around books and anime-- personally outgrew that but others would appreciate it.

They have a retail store located downtown and sell physical media - CDs, LPs, DVDs, magazines, books with a primary catalog that revolves around improvised music: Jazz, Free Jazz, Electroacoustic-Improv, Downtown New York, etc. Once or twice a month, they hold live music shows featuring a variety of musical artists from their catalogue, as well as local artists. The shows are really unique, and unlike any others I've been to in Wilmington. They're also really cheap! Usually $5 (I've never paid more than $10), and you get free snacks and wine!
