Barrow Book Store started an online store and delivery service during COVID19 and I have to say it…read moreis excellent. They seem to be adding new titles often and the curated selection is great for gift giving. I found a rare Sylvia Townsend Warner book of short stories for myself, and a lot of options for a belated father's day package. The prices are very affordable and the conditions of the books are accurate--often brand new looking (or close-to) books for half the price or less than the same versions online. Normally I'd go to the store but things have been shut down and I haven't been going out much. I made an order this week and it arrived the NEXT DAY, beautifully packaged in brown paper and ribbon. It was such a nice surprise! I believe the store itself is opened in a limited capacity now, too. I've been there a couple times in person (before the shutdown) and it was always a lovely place to get books on local authors and browse for interesting finds.

This is a large used bookstore with clearly marked sections, a public restroom (that has seen…read morebetter days) and ample free parking. It is not near a major highway. All books are from 2015 or later, no paradise for resellers looking for antiques, plus for used they're already marked up compared to other places I have been including library sales. The benefit is the wide selection. They also have DVDs and other media. Went to check this out as it is the largest used bookstore in the state but am unlikely to return due to the distance from home. If I lived in the area I would go back. My go to for books is the library but I was buying for two other people, one who lacks transportation and one who has mobility issues. They also buy books.

I would have gotten a drink, but I wanted to try the matcha place close to here, so ended up just trying a carrot cake bite.

They also have some interesting chocolate bars I was eyeing (I think I saw one with apple and cheddar). Would definitely come back.

And this shop is not only for book lovers, though if you love browsing books (new and some gently used ones, too!) you won't be disappointed! But the community focus! There is a small art studio in the back, some lovely, tasty treats near the register (small batch, local source!) and friendly, helpful staff who are right there where you want them to be but not up in your business. They GET Lowell (all the local flavor is there if you want it) but you won't feel like you've visited just another place in Lowell--this shop makes me want to go back again and again.
