2 stars only because book selection is really good. But I randomly got charged $6 for something I didn't buy. I was visiting from out of town so I didn't check it until I got home 3 hours later. I emailed them a picture of receipt and asked why I received this charge. I thought it was the book marks but I the cashier asked us if we wanted "complimentary" bookmarks. I also called the next morning during business hours but there was no answer. I'll come back and will now always check my receipt before leaving the door. As of 4/9/24 - never got a reply - nothing.

Bookstore is nice. The staff absolutely sucks. They don't greet you and ignore. Snobby beyond belief.

Amazing selection of children's books. I want to support our local bookstore but it's hard when the staff is so cold and unfriendly. Will take my business elsewhere where employees are more friendly to those who still want to shop locally for books.

An ok bookstore with the least friendly staff and manager I’ve ever experienced. Totally unwelcoming, two shoppers in the store were looking at each other in disbelief as the two store clerks grumpily rang up their purchases. The manager was drawing names for a raffle but she was not engaging anyone and was actively putting people off. We waited around for a while to see if we might win a raffle prize after buying several books kand then finally just left because it was clear we were unwelcome. Such a bummer. I really like to support local business but will not go back or send anyone there.

A pretty nice bookstore however, the people who work there are so cold. Downright rude, actually and unfriendly. I was there today and asked a couple of questions from two different staff members, and they both seemed really irritated to be even speaking to me. It was just not pleasant. I happened to arrive on a day when a local, children's book author was signing books. I would have loved to have known about this and brought my godchildren but it was not advertised anywhere - not even on the bookstore website. It doesn't seem like it's run very well.

Tourists beware: I stopped by to take a peek at the books since I stopped by other stores to buy gifts. I only bought a post card (to send to my family whenever I am in a new vacation destination). One of the employees (purple hair- nose ring) was trying to distract me with compliments regarding my crystal necklace while giving me the incorrect change (I was paying with cash). She tried to keep a majority of my change while handing me back the change equal to the cost of the postcard even though the exact amt. of change was written on the receipt.

This place is so cold hearted. While they have a good selection of books, it’s the holidays and not one display of novels for the holidays, nothing inviting to even want to buy a gift. What a shame! Go to bookworks in PG—at least there’s spirit and warmth.

I loved this cozy, beautiful bookstore. It helped me discover some wonderful picture books for my daughter while we were on vacation. They don't have everything but had many current and interesting finds. I recommend supporting a local bookstore like this one.

A lovely mix of the best hardcovers, paperbacks, children's books, puzzles and gifts.

Fantastic little bookstores ... one of those places we say "they don't make ''em like that anymore!" In the age of digital books and Amazon takeover, places like this are rare. We're visiting here for a few days and though I brought my books from home, forgot to bring my book light. Hotel room tends to be darker at night and I have trouble reading in low light. My husband called them just half hour before they were closing and asked if they carry book lights. They affirmed and off we went. Adorable place that Carrie's all makers of books and they sold several different types lights. We got the best one they had with the LED lights, wanted to give a shout out for this amazing place. It bright back a sense of nostalgia wistfulness, cuz I'm old enough to remember a world without Amazon and where only libraries and bookstores had books. We'd hang out on bookstores and go for dinner afterwards--our idea of a wild night, lol. This is that kinda place--civilized old era stuff. I'd go back in a heartbeat just for that regained era!

Excellent help in finding the book I was looking for. The staff is so friendly her, and they have a great variety of books. Every once in a while they'll have a book signing featuring a local artist (like my friend J.L. Nicely).
