Great independent bookstore with an awesome selection of books (and a back room full of kids books, too)! Staff is always friendly and helpful with recs and staff picks. Cute selection of gifts and cards at the front. Our favorite bookstore in DC!!

Unfortunately I’m not local but I have loved shopping with loyalty online. Customer service is great and books are always in great condition. Can’t wait to stop by in person when I’m in the DC area!

Went here for one of my friend’s book release signings and it is an awesome bookstore! The staff is extremely helpful and their selection of books is great. This location is a little far from me but I will visit again and will also have to check out their silver spring store.
