Our new favorite used bookstore! It's not often my wife and I both find what we want in the same…read morebookstore, but they had everything and more. A highly impressive selection of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Philosophy and YA. Prices were really good compared to many used bookstores. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and helped us to find everything we needed. Did I mention the 10 and 25 cent books outside? Highly recommend!

Why has it taken me so long to hear of this place?? Reader's Corner is a dream for avid readers…read more The shop is filled to the brim with books organized by genre. The books inside are individually priced, while the books outside are discounted to 10 or 25 cents based on which side it is on. I could have spent hours there. After selecting way too many books, I took them up to the counter to check out. As the friendly employee rang up the books, we chatted about D&D. Overall, perfect first visit and I look forward to returning!

Great local book store! People are super friendly. They have…read moreplenty of books for adults and children- if they don't have it they can order it for you. There are many different events including books signed by the author. If you don't know what to read they have a recommendation section

This is a beautiful and well stocked independent bookstore. The staff was really friendly and…read morehelpful when I arrived for an author event the other night. I saw Olivia Muenter speak about her new book Little One, and the seating and organization of the whole event was handled flawlessly. I thought it was very kind of the event to offer free tickets in addition to tickets that came with a copy of the book, as I had preordered from another store. I appreciated the consideration, and it made me want to stock up on other books from them. I didn't have any issues with parking at all- I got a spot in the large lot right out front. I was also able to choose from a variety of options for quick dinner stops before my event. All in all, a great addition to North Hills!

Stopped by Blackbird Books & Coffee and wow it didn't disappoint! There is a coffee shop located in…read morethe back of the coffee shop. When you arrive parking is tough in this area as it is near Moore square. I'd recommend parking a couple blocks away and walking or parking in a nearby garage. Walking in the book/coffee shop feels inclusive, cozy, and vibrant/community focused. There's also a section of banned books which is great to see and really highlights the progressive bookshelves. For coffee I ordered the Banana Pudding Latte which has banana puree and nilla wafers. It was so refreshing to order this iced on a hot day and the banana flavor wasn't overpowering. Definitely check out the Blackbird book/coffee shop if you are in the local Raleigh area.

So glad my sis scoped out a few spots to enjoy on some down time while in Raleigh. First stop -…read moreBlackbird Books & Coffee for some morning lattes and bookshop shopping. Perfect choice! This shop is nestled into the small streets of DT Raleigh in a charming way, like a corner in Diagon alley. It's walking distance from a park and many eateries. We all ordered pastries and lattes, then shopped for stickers and books. There's a table near the front and some more in the back by the cafe. Fun, curated collections of books and zines that we really appreciated. My hot oat matcha latte was delicious and so was my amazing cheddar scone. The baristas and owner were incredibly nice and friendly. It set the tone for a great day in DT Raleigh.

Guy working there with long hair was a real jerk when I politely waited for him to finish what he…read morewas doing on his phone to ask him if they had a book I was looking for. Without looking it up (he stayed on his phone throughout this) he just smiled like it was really funny to smugly say "we usually have it but we just ran out." And that was that. He didn't offer a solution just smiled and soaked in the self-pleasure of his snide answer. There was a painful pause as he waited for my reaction, wanting to relish in it, presumably, but I just said "ok then..?" And shrugged. And clearly disappointed I didn't leave right there he sighed and said "we could order one. Want to do that?" But he didn't offer any info about how much it would be, when it would be in, nothing. I had to pry that info from him. So forget it.

Hooray for independent booksellers. So & So is a small bookstore. It's not a used bookstore and…read moretheir titles are selective and probably not those you'll find (at least easily) at a mainstream shop. I like that. Sharing a space with an architectural firm, what you see when you first walk in, is what you get. There's not aisles and aisles of books, but that's what makes it easy to spend some time looking. The children and young adult section is a decent size, surprisingly, so it will give the kids something to do while you spend time looking. Mostly current authors, and a fair mix of biographical, non-fiction and informational, So & So does its job -- offering something different when time and boredom with the common stuff can make book shopping a chore. None of that is an issue here.

This bookstore is absolutely beautiful! The colors, the vibe and decor are all so bright and…read moreinviting! Unfortunately, they were about to close when we walked in. We did a quick walkthrough and skimmed through the available books. It was way too much for me to make a decision with so many amazing options, so hopefully we'll return before our trip is over. My only issue is that there are no visible prices. The bookstore attendant was just a vibrant as the store itself. So many amazing children's books that I wish were available when my children were little.

Out front they had several bookshelves of .50 books and their paperback books were all very reasonably priced, about 3.99 per book. I found 3 of the 5 books I needed.

I wish there was more Russian literature; if they stock more of it, they will have a very loyal costumer. Lovely staff, huge selection of contemporary fiction. That is most of their stock, it seems. Beware: you will definitely come out of here with more than one book so make some room on your bookshelf.

The stock is constantly changing and they set up different cool displays all the time. Today I was delighted to find a whole section of banned books. The section was covered with caution tape! Love that! I bought a banned book that I am super excited to start reading. I absolutely love their custom made tables made out of stacks of books. I keep asking my husband to make me one! They host community events all the time too. They host silent reading nights and tonight they are hosting an UNO tournament! How amazing is that?!

I've been on the hunt for a particularly hard to find record for the better part of the year. A…read morekind redditor tipped me off that they had seen the record I needed a few days prior at Nice Price in Raleigh. To my pleasant surprise, the man who answered the phone- Enoch- said they still had the record (!!) and they would ship it to me in Boston (!!!!). He shipped it out that day, and it was in my arms a few days later. The price of the record was SUPER reasonable compared to what it goes for on eBay or discogs, and it was in mint condition. On top of all that Enoch was incredibly kind and helpful over the phone. I can't wait to stop in and shop in person the next time I'm in NC. Thank you! :)

We loved picking up books and reading the jackets. I spent time reading a book I was interested in, in a cozy chair. I love how they organize books by genre and interest.
