    Small bookstore with some used options in a nice location. Friendly staff and clean layout. Worth a stop!

    Cute magnets with hilarious quotes.

    I just love this little book shop! It has a little bit of everything. I purchased several books and book marks. Very nice woman at the counter and the prices are reasonable.

    Here is another cute shop that I would have overspent in if any staff had acknowledged me. They were many cute bookish items which are just as important to me as the many books.

    Extremely rude owner. They obviously have no idea what customer service is. Hopefully some day they go out of business like they deserve.

    Are you sure or unsure? Do you seek understanding!…read moreHow about clarification about something? Are you fascinated or captivated by something? Look no further let's crack open the cover of a book? The metaphysical universe is out there and beckons beyond for us all to see what's happening? Remember make sure that you don't go blindly? Get your nose into a book. While on vacation in the deepest of Salem, of course the draws of a bookstore are too strong to stay away. The selection here is truly amazing. If you are seeking a masterpiece of art on witchcraft and spell speaking you have come to the right place . If not just ask. If they don't have it they can order that in which you need. The staff here is very knowledgeable about the "craft!" They are willing to aid you with questions that you might have . The answer is within you and it's waiting for you to discover what is there. Remember wander well and harm no one. The kindness of the world awaits you opening that book. Here we go !

They know their product and have a collection of some rare books. The place is PACKED with books. It's a bit overwhelming, but they have a bit of everything and since it's been there a while, the collection is huge. Our friend managed to find some text books that were out of print. He was excited about those. It is definitely one of those places you need to spend a long time in. Easily 2 hours if there is stuff you really want to look into. Great to stop by if you are a big reader!

    Annie's Book Stop is a fantastic local book store providing both used & new books. If the owner,…read moreAndrea, doesn't have what you are looking for she will order it. It usually comes in within a couple days. The prices are good, never full list price (new books are usually 20% off, used are 50% off list price), and the condition of the used books is usually very good. I've gotten children's books, young adult novels, books for required reading in college lit classes, sci fi, horror, noir, chick lit, graphic novels, etc. at Annie's. Pretty much any genre you're looking for, she has. There are even out of print titles, so check here if you can't find something at one of the big chains. Ask for help finding your book & Andrea will always know exactly where what your looking for is. I think she uses the force. Where do all the used books come from? The customers. You can bring in any paper back books & get credit to use on your purchase. The credit never expires, but you have to keep track of your slip because there's no way to look it up. If you're anything like me, you might want to use your credit right on the spot to prevent losing out on savings. One more thing: if you bring in a truck load of books don't expect the store to take all of them at once. Apparently there's a limit (not a set in stone one, but whatever) to how many trades they'll take a day. This protects the bottom line, I guess. And if that's what it takes to have a cool little bookstore in Beverly, it's worth it. Still 5 stars. Almost forgot: it's right across from the North Beverly T stop & Nick's Roast Beef (yum). Parking is out back and there is a 2nd entrance back there. Go get some books!

    The book store, I am NOT an avid paper bound book reader, but i appreciate picking one up from time…read moreto time. For my taste they had plenty of titles organized well by genre. I do also like that they have manga section that myself and my god daughter etc can run thru to get her the next chapter she needs in whatever series. If they don't have it they can order it. The B&N on the South shore near me closed down and it sort of sad to see. I like the smell of brand new books in a bookstore. They have bunch of collectibles, legos, funko pops and other figurearts! The Starbucks we ordered 3 drinks, the did forget the simple syrup in two of them so it's more was definitely straight matcha which is fine, healthier without the sugar haha. It definitely took longer than other locations with no line. The cafe also offers more food the your normal Starbucks as well. Staff was alright, didn't seem the most friendly on our visit.

    Barnes & Nobles right by Northshore Mall in Peabody served as a decent caffeine stop for us!…read moreHaven't been inside this Barnes & Nobles in YEARS but doesn't look like much has changed. It's definitely a more dated store but seemingly had decent inventory of novels + great kid-friendly selection. They have a Starbucks inside, with only two workers but only one person working the front and also making the drinks. Expect a little bit of a wait because of this. We ordered three drinks: one caramel ribbon crunch Frappuccino & two iced matcha lattes w/ strawberry cold foam. Took about 10 min, so definitely longer than your typical stand alone Starbucks. Matcha lattes had no sweetener, though it normally comes w/ simple syrup but no problem, healthier this way anyways haha. My caramel frappe was very sweet + kept leaking out of the cup. Staff was okay, didn't find them to be that friendly. Overall, I can see this being a great spot to sit + read a book as it's pretty quiet in here & has drinks + food too. Just note if you're ordering food/drinks, just keep in mind it might take some time to be ready.
