    Love this quaint little local bookstore! The owner and staff are super helpful and they have a great selection of books (neatly organized) in a small space. They even managed to pull off a children's "book nook." I know that they frequently have local author signings and events, and now they've pivoted to offering virtual readings and such. Bravo.

    I visited this shop on a day off trip through Mobile, it's a wonderful shop, well laid out, the gentleman working the store was incredibly kind, polite, and helpful. The choice of books is vast and well priced. I'll certainly be coming back next time I'm passing.

    This store is a great find that has something for every reader. The clerk greeted us and explained the lay out of the store. From there, you are free to explore. Some highlights- staff showcases books in different genres with handwritten sticky notes. I am often drawn to books this way, so I enjoyed the presentation. Each genre is broken down further and we'll categorized- i.e. historical mysteries, local noir, etc. There's a writer's room. The children's area includes comfy chairs and a play tent with toys. You could easily spend hours in here. There's also an adorable cat! Prices are good for an independent book seller. Maybe a few bucks more than Amazon, but worth the price to support small business and to have the experience of interacting with the literature.

    Great character & location in #LODA!! I adore the smell of books...new & used!! This 3-level shop is heaven for book-lovers! They even have a small writing room available to rent for #local, aspiring authors:) Stop by & then grab an Old Fashioned next-door @ The Haberdasher:) Downtown is a designated "Entertainment District", so you can take your drink with you & walk to Bienville Square to watch the squirrels & people:) Enjoy!

    Very cool bookstore. Love the gentleman that was working in there today. He was very friendly! I love that each section has a spot for local authors. Great way to support local writers! It has an upstairs area with more books and a writers room. Before you leave, take a pin and mark where you are from on the map!

    A wonderful little bookstore (The name put me off as I did not realize the name of the bookshop until after I was in there... but I realize now there was no merit to it LOL) with a large selection of books. They have plenty to browse through with their great selection of used and new books in all sorts of categories. They have a lovely kids section. The isles are wide and the atmosphere is cozy and in such an interesting building. The owner is super friendly and there to help. I was extra excited to use my Yelp 5% discount just for checking in.

    This is a very unique and interesting book store. There is an upstairs area and a kids area. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They also have different events. There are historical mobile tours that leave from this book store. They do a scavenger hunt for Waldo. A variety of topics and books can be found in this store. If you are a book lover of any kind, this is a must visit. I will be returning.

    Is the pricing good?

    They have both used and new books, but they're kind of all mixed together. So if you have time to browse and look, you can definitely find some great steals.… Read more
