“A group of my friends and I were in from out of town, looking for a place to hold a small get together. Charm City Books were gracious hosts and every accommodating. They had great communication throughout the planning process. The bookstore is adorable, clean and we were also able to browse the store. We had a great time.”
“I love this African bookstore. I took a healer there and she admitted that it’s very active in there. It always smells so good, the African fabric is very good quality. It’s so easy to get lost in this tiny store especially if you don’t know what you came for. Books, posters, tarot cards and BLACK KIDS BOOKS upstairs along with a friendly black cat that just wants some loving. And all of the essentials, jewelry, spell candles, incense, sage, crystals, soap, butter, African hair products, singing bowls and ritual equipment. Trust me you want to go to this store.”
“Great little store! Awesome selection, personal recommendations from employees all over the store, lots of trinkets and book-related gifts. My new favorite place!”
“Leaving this review to show my condolences and support for the small business. Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery.

“The place is small but they have a highly curated collection of popular books and authors. I'm there almost every week and their inventory is constantly updating so the selection never gets stale.
Also, as much as I love used bookshops, some of them are so cluttered and disorganized it becomes overwhelming and claustrophobic to shop. Books For Life is oriented in a way that is very shoppable and I love it!”
“I love this bookstore! The vibe is immaculate. You'll find a wide selection of books by Black authors that speak to the Black experience. Fiction and non-fiction, all ages. The shop also has a juice bar as well as a carefully curated selection of small batch bath and body care. Plus, Urban Reads hosts fun community events. Street parking, just around the corner from the Waverly Farmer's Market, Red Emma's and Peabody Heights Brewery.”
“Was in town for work, popped in for a book signing! The shop workers were super sweet and helpful. The author was wonderful. Quait, cute place with great options. I bought the Authors book, a professional book, a historical author classic and had wine and cheesecake. Loved every minute of my visit!”
“Pleasant quaint place. Love the homely feel and the myriad of titles they hold. It might feel cramped because of the limited space and the amount of books and items there are. They also sell CDs. I was delighted to see how vast and diverse their history section is compared to other booksellers.”
“Really amazing little gem in downtown Baltimore! Loved the huge selection of books and vinyl, and the fun, eclectic decor throughout the shop. I could easily spend hours in here. Support your local bookstores yall!”
“The gentleman that is in there working all the time is so awesome and amazing. I love the atmosphere, They also has a wide selection for you to choose from. I am loving One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. And the two vinyl records.”
“Great selection and friendly staff! I absolutely love browsing here and always find at least one book that looks amazing. If they don’t have something you’re looking for in stock, they can order it for you right then and there. One of the best book stores in the city?”
“Really nice bookstore for believers of Jesus Christ. Has a lot of books, trinkets, jewelry, keychains, Bibles, and so much more to help those on their believer journey or show love to a fellow follower of God. Staff is always nice and helpful if you have a question about an item in stock. Always leave with something I can use to better my spiritual growth. Highly recommended for all believers.”
“The kindest guy at the register today at 6pm. Just above and beyond made me feel welcome and appreciated. You know, buying a book is such an experience, and he really continued to make it feel sensitive and lift changing. These people really just love books.”
“Just an awesome little, but packed, mostly used book, record, cassette, cd store with very reasonable price points. A favorite stop whenever I'm in Baltimore”

“The best metaphysical store you will find anywhere on the eastern seaboard. Packed with everything- tarot decks, incense, crystals, herbs, books, and the best ever energy. The staff are helpful and always pleasant. I've been in love with this store for many, many years. And still am.”
“Peace and Love to the World ?....... this institution is phenomenal ?. I was able to receive any and every book I wanted while I served a ten (10) year prison sentence. And their timing was on time every time.”
“The mission: "To put unwanted books into the hands of those who want them." I adore The Book Thing. I have been a loyal monthly patron and will continue to do so. The books are absolutely free, no strings attached, FREE! And to top it off, you can take as much as you can carry out. I love exploring different genres and with my vast interests, purchasing books can be expensive not to mention terrible for the environment. I will always search the shelves at The Book Thing or go to a secondhand bookstore before purchasing newly printed books (if you can't get to The Book Thing take a look at ThriftBooks.com). The Book Thing is NOT OPEN DAILY. It is a monthly event that typically falls on the second full weekend of the month, and it alternates between Saturday and Sunday. They announce the exact dates on their website and Facebook page. If you are interested in donating books, please take the time to check their website for the exact days that you can drop off. Book donation hours are 9am-2pm on the designated days. The donation limit is 6 boxes per family. Boxes must be small enough that one person can lift them when full. They accept all types of books except encyclopedia sets. All donations are tax-deductible. We can provide a donation receipt on request reflecting the number of books donated. We also issue receipts for financial donations. Please do not leave books or boxes outside of their donation hours, you may be cited by the City for illegal dumping!”
“My book arrived in Canada within 1 week. The packaging was awsome and I was surprised to see 2 additional free books in the package! I will buy more books from islamicbookstore.com in future.”
“Excellent customer service. They went out of their way to help me with a DIY compass repair. I can't recommend them highly enough, and I'll be getting all my navigation supplies from them in the future.”
“I wish I had more time during my visit. My grandson and I were searching for a specific item, and although we weren’t able to look as long as we wanted, we were treated very well. The customer service was kind and helpful, which made the experience enjoyable despite the time constraint.”
“We loved our visit to Red Emma on the recent rain/snow afternoon. Truly a community space with food and drinks. So many good things to try. We tried the tofu eggless salad and the Chik'n Cesar wrap with fries. All delicious!”
“What a cool spot. We just happened to stumble upon it and were were glad we did. Fantastic vinyl selection, great book selection, chill vibe, awesome host. It should one hundred percent be on your list in Baltimore.”
“I've been coming to the Book Nook for years and was so excited to see how much they've grown after being out of state for 4 years. Hands down the best place for kid's books, but even with all other genres they have a large selection and all fairly priced. They even have a foreign language section that has all kinds of languages in it and range from kid's books to actual textbooks I've used in formal language classes.And you can't say enough about the staff. They're all so sweet and welcoming. I tell everyone I know about the Book Nook!”
“The new Barnes & Noble already feels like a cozy hangout spot for book lovers.
It is a great place to browse new releases and stumble on unexpected finds.
The space is welcoming and deaf-friendly, which makes communication easy and stress-free.
Staff are kind, patient, and happy to help you track down what you need.
It is a spot that makes you want to come back, relax, and get lost in books.”
“Independent book store. Lots of unusual things so you can always find something different. Everything that is used is in good condition, but they also have lots of new things.In the old Marley Station Mall.”
“What's not to love about a comic book store that has a bar in the back. It's a divy hipster bar in Hampden. The crowd is a little order and it's cheap drinks and beers with usually a live show. The staff is friendly. I've heard John Waters (creator of Hair Spray) does signings here on occasion! It's a fun spot. They do have regular fiction books as well!”
“Everyone that works there is super nice and helpful great selection and very pleasant atmosphere. If your buying gifts for someone who likes Harry potter you absolutely should go here.”
“Love the UMBC Retrievers merchandise, thank you Darcy for helping me find some great apparel. Got the Champion Golden Grit shirt and the Blue84 Black True Grit hoodie. Awesome quality and looks great!”
“Coffee House doubles as a book store. Bookish environment inside, nice patio outside. Breakfast and lunch options for pretty much anyone who walks in the door. Standard coffee house offering. Wife gave the chai latte a thumbs up. If you like your coffee as dark roasted as possible (like I do) you won’t find that here but their medium blend was fresh and has a flavor complexity you won’t find at National coffeehouse chains. Friendly staff. Well kept up dining area. Right behind the Study at John Hopkins.”

“Had a very helpful employee find us a copy of the collectors edition of the exorcist. She even told us to order it online for a discount and we could still walk out of the store with it. Very impressed by the customer service”
