The other one is a bookstore, comprised of Bibles and other printed materials. The bookstore is great. Have been many times over the past few decades and they have everything. They have a great selection of Bibles and they have the 4-set Liturgy of the Hours or the one volume Christian Prayer in stock. Expect crowds on Saturdays and Sundays, but if you can go during the week, It's not rushed. Lucky to have this Basilica and Bookstore in DC.

Quality bookstore!…read more This was the only store in the entire area that had the book I was looking for. I went to 6 other ones including Barnes and noble and this one was the one! Cashier was super helpful and nice even though my book didn't come up in the database. The entire collection in the store seemed super fancy and all hardcover and even the book I need was a lot fancier than the usual copies. It had a slide out hard cover and gold lettering. Didn't seem like the prices were high but they were having a 40% off all literature that day so I got a great deal! Definitely recommend.

Has the entire freakin' world gone Kindle on me since I left the charming city that reads? 25th St was one of those places that initially scared me when I moved to the city from what had been up to that point a sheltered life in West Virginia and Williamstown, Mass. This was urban East Coast livin' in the late 1990s, and it took me a few months to screw up the courage to head down Charles St in search of used books and other delights that midtown B'more could offer. I'm so glad that I did. I am a better, more enlightened person for having done so by visiting unique and wonderful places like the Kelmscott and Royal Books. So go ahead! Live a little! Put your iPhone and Crackberry away for a nanosec' and see what several hundred years of paper, ink, leather, linen, and movable type are capable of producing. Once you open an old book with real Italian marbled paper lining its inside cover - let alone one printed on vellum - you will realize the limits of e-reading and e-mailing. These things have their essential places in the 21st century, but so, too, do rare, used, and artisinal books made from tree pulp and cotton.

I have been beating my head against the wall (not literally) looking for a Christian book store in…read moreDC. Either that or an African American book store. Reason being, I was looking for bibles for my niece and God son and wanted one that had pictures that were not so "lilly white". I found some bibles with diverse images as well as an African American kids bible in this store. This store is right at the corner of GA and FL Ave. Right before FL Ave turns into U St. When you walk in its a bit cluttered as if they utilized every bit of empty space to stack books. lol. But thats neither here nor there. The point is they had the goods! I can only speak on behalf of the childrens section because I was in search of kids bibles. It was a nice sized corner dedicated to children - teen bibles, spiritual books and games. I also took a peek at the adult games, most of which seemed interesting but I had never heard of before. Prices of the bibles I purchased were resonable. I had just seen one of my purchases in Books-a-Million the day before and it was priced the same at $19.99. There was a nice older gentleman working the register. They accepted my AMEX. Very nice store with wide selection and friendly staff.

Truly a gem, it is a fascinating spot to expand your culinary knowledge, just have some fun finding something cool, or even getting a memorable gift. Prices were fairly reasonable and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The shop itself is not too large but spacious enough to display their expansive selection in an organized manner while allowing plenty of space to navigate easily as you explore. In addition to the books, they have some zines, vintage magazines, puzzles, kitchen tools, and even some other trinkets. Would highly recommend to anybody even slightly intrigued by food, whether amateur, professional, or somebody even just thinking about dabbling.
