This is a really great local bookstore. The staff are super welcoming and knowledgeable, and the collection is pretty good and fairly varied for the size of the store.

I love going here. I get any older books here. I have gotten a variety of books that would be expensive elsewhere. Staff super nice.

Good selection of books and CDs, + a few LPs. Great prices. Well organized too. Supports the public library, and takes donations. Friendly staff. Free public parking under the building. See website for info on that.

Hi Nancy, At our Rockville location we will accept any amount of books. At our Wheaton location, due to limited storage space, we ask that donations be limited to a handheld amount(2 boxes or bags).
