    There are a ton of used books here. Not to many recent ones however it is fun to go around and just look at the aisles.

    This place was okay as far as used bookstores go. The prices are set- not based by book. Hardcovers are all $5 which is good- but paperbacks are only 1/2 off their listed price- which means sometimes it's a deal and sometimes it's not. All books are in top top shape though. It was a little too organized and set in stone for me- no room for those super loved books that need a new home, or romantic inscriptions scrawled in a cover. I prefer used bookstores with more character- that I can get lost in, that pull you in with the vibe and the controlled chaos- Still, it's a good place for a quick stop and if your maybe looking for something specific. Decent YA/ kids section. Good people, good service, and plenty of good books to be found. They seemed to be missing a few genres I typically drift towards though.

    Great place to explore & even better place to find book treasures! I've been coming to Wilmington…read morefor the past decade yearly & I ALWAYS look forward to stopping by.

    January 24, 2026 - Old Books on Front Street is the friendliest bookstore I ever encountered. There…read morewere some inconveniences, yet they were unavoidable & being taken care of the best they could. This is why I am rating this bookstore 4.4 stars - rounds off to 4 stars. Excellent customer service - 5 Stars. The owner of the bookstore was at the entrance and greeted me & others immediately when we entered the bookstore. Upon entering, I noticed many areas were sectioned and off limits. I found out later that they were placing books back in the bookshelves after they were taken away to repair broken pipes in the store and to prevent them from getting damaged. There were a literary jukebox and vending machine dispensing capsules with quotes - both out of order. I still had a good time wandering around the bookstore and browsing books there. I found a book in the clearance section for 25 cents and purchased it. Despite the inconveniences in the store due to the building being old and being repaired by the owner herself, I am impressed by how personable & amicable the owner was and that she was repairing the pipes in the store by herself instead of hiring someone to do it. I know when the books are organized back on the shelves that I will probably come back and spend more time here. This is a bookstore to see in Wilmington again and again.

    I've been getting a lot of mileage out of my 2025 "This Day in History" desk calendar. It has…read morebecome one of those small daily rituals that adds a little texture to the morning. With 2026 creeping closer, I figured it was time to start scouting for its successor. Go! Calendars, Toys & Games inside Independence Mall made for a quick and purposeful stop. It was not quite a full-on shopping mission, more of a reconnaissance run to see what might be worth nudging Santa about. The calendar selection was solid, with plenty of themed options. There were quirky, educational, scenic, and pop culture varieties stacked and ready. Prices are full retail this time of year, which is expected. If you are calendar hunting and not in a rush, the real deals kick in after January 1, when unsold stock gets marked down. But if you are browsing for gift ideas or just want first pick, it is worth the early look. Beyond calendars, the store has a decent spread of board games, puzzles, and novelty toys. Some of those are already discounted, especially the seasonal or clearance items tucked toward the back. It is the kind of place that rewards a little poking around, especially if you are shopping with kids or looking for something lighthearted to bring to a gathering. All in all, it was a pleasant detour. I did not leave with a calendar this time, but I left with a few contenders in mind and a clearer sense of what might land on my desk come January.
