One of the very best used bookstores I have ever been too! Friendly staff; reasonable prices, cozy and creative atmosphere and books for just about everyone. My new favorite!

***Update! I was right! Boyfriend loves the bookstore! And I'm thrilledafter our visit today, 4-7-22! I just re-bought the Magic Kingdom of Landover series! They had all of them and the author will be at Ravencon in a month. Did I not already post a review? I thought I did. Oh, maybe I just posted about them on Instagram! Very possible! So, I've been trying to make it here after work for a bit, but I've been super busy. I finally got a chance to go and loved the layout and the building and most of all the books. There are so many different kinds, just treasures all over the place. I didn't look long bc I was on a mission for tiny books and with a point in the right direction from the lovely lady up front, I found several that fit my friends needs. I WILL be bringing my book lover boyfriend back next time!

What a cool bookstore!!! We absolutely loved our visit here - the staff were all so lovely, the books were affordable on our student budgets, the whole space is so welcoming and bright and peaceful. Stop in and check out the section that interests you or give yourself an hour or two to pick up a couple things, sit in the comfy chairs or on a window seat and really relax. There are three (and a half?) levels of books, each with its own charm and vibe. Seems like a great place for local history book, civil war history books, and children's books especially, though i don't actually read any of those things and i was very happy with the regular fiction i found. Restroom is available for customers. This is along a lovely downtown in Fredericksburg so you can wander in after getting some coffee or while waiting for an appointment or something. We can't wait for our next visit here!
