Oh my god if you love visiting Book Stores that are different and unique this Book Store is the place for you!! It is so different but in a totally awesome way!!! It feels like you're going to a place where you can just relax, read a book, and just let your imagination run wild... ??? I really loved how classic and welcoming the feel was as well!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciated finding this place! A beautiful independent bookstore with enough things to catch your attention, plenty of recommendations, and ample breadth of topics. Smart, but not too academic. Loved it here - left with an armful!

A pure delight: from the cozy couches that dot the shop’s corners to the iconic displays of Mississippi’s favored authors, no trip to Jackson is complete until you spend time browsing Lemuria’s bookshelves.

This is a lovely gem in Jackson, MS. I live in Chicago, but stopped by and was delightfully surprised. We asked for a queer section, and we were helped buy a lovely human that showed us all of the queer selections they had to offer, which, was a lot!!! They even gave us a huge hug when we left. Such a warm and inviting book store!

One of the best bookstores in the entire country. Staffed with lovely, intelligent folks, who make great recommendations and enjoy talking shop. While you're there, check out my book, Blameforest.

This is a bibliophile's slice of heaven! Get a coffee downstairs and spend the rest of the day here! Plenty of comfortable places to sit. 1000's of books to peruse. They are by subject in small niches all around the store.Many authors have been through, signing their books. We bought one. 2 we're going to be there the week we visited. Eudora Welty was a regular visitor.

Awesome book store with a wide variety of books and helpful staff. We get our books gift wrapped and open them when it is time to read, great fun.

This is such a well run bookstore with so much character! We brought our young children and the workers were very kind and considerate of them. The children's section is full of great classics as well as recent publishings.

One of the more famous bookstores of the South, Lemuria lives up to its reputation. This is one of the best bookstores I have visited - comparable with Northshire, Square, Elliot Bay, and the like. The people of Jackson are lucky to have such a wonderful, storied place in town. As for out-of-towners (such as myself), I can't recommend it enough. Visit, browse, support, and appreciate that places like this exist.

One of the coolest bookstores I've visited. They have an endless number of signed first editions from a long list of authors, including premium binding limited print run signed first editions as well. Most recent signed books are regular retail prices. The older and more rare ones can get up there. This will be a regular visit for me when visiting nearby family.Finally, the employees were very very helpful and took their time to show me around, answer questions, and even tried to find a hard to find book for me. Excellent!

One of the most acclaimed bookstores in the country is somewhat of a hidden gem in Jackson, MS. Everything about Lemuria is fantastic, from the setting and environment, staff, selection, even the playlist. The breadth and depth of their collection cannot be overstated especially considering the amount of signed copies. The breakdown of sections is impressive in itself, instead of sweeping general sections there are nearly shelf by shelf categories. I love Lemuria!

This is a small business book store. They have so many books in so many styles of covers. They have books from floor to ceiling! The staff are amazing! They are book lovers themselves. I recommend them because this is a bookworm's dream; you never know what you will find.

Great local bookstore. Super knowledgeable staff, loads of options. Will order stuff they don't have, which in the Amazon/B&N era feels like a lot. Only complaint.

Giving this bookstore a 5 star rating!! Attention to detail the best I have encountered in a long time. My book arrived on time prior to Christmas, packaged to prevent damage and even had a mylar cover on it!!! Never had a bookstore place a mylar cover on a purchase before!! I SO SO appreciate that as it saves me time during a very busy season of the year. Blessings sent to Lemuria Books from Ohio...A very happy ? customer. Will return.
