“This is my favorite book store in town. Reasonable prices, great staff favorite section makes it easy to find an engaging read; lots of local art and zines. Also, cool t-shirts to impress ur friends.”
“I ordered online from their website, and it was an amazing experience. The pricing was the best that I could find, the shipping was quick, and although the item was listed as loose, they packaged it in a box with a printed cover. Great business, I would definitely recommend it!”
“I've been ordering from Firestorm for many years and their shipments have been timely, and even more important to me is the workers have been very thoughtful, communicative, kind. They often include a really good sticker or zine in packages too.
I'm not local so haven't been able to go in person but I deeply appreciate Firestorm workers' collective praxis of still requiring masks after so many other counter culture spaces have abandoned that / capitulated to over-culture. Thank you for not leaving those of us behind who have been disappeared by most in person spaces these days.
Thank you immensely for all that you do to support prisoners, push back on flock cameras/carceral technologies locally and generally, host virtual events so bed-bound babes can attend, and host events that bring
marginalized book nerds together 😌🥰🏴”
“The store was clean, and may be the largest location I've ever been to. The selection of books and other media was impressive.
There will be future daytrips to this location (about 2.5 hours from my home).”
“This was my first time going to this location. The store is well stocked and organized. The staff were lovely and patient. My only small complaint is I wish they had a restroom on the first floor. But I would still visit this location again.”
“What a delightful find in the heart of downtown Asheville! Located in the historic Grove Arcade, the Battery Park Book Exhange & Champagne Bar is an eclectic, luxurious experience. A beautiful bookshop with rare editions winds through the shop with seating both downstairs and upstairs. Think Biltmore smoking room meets Edith Vanderbilt's bedroom. The Champagne bar has flights to enjoy along with an extensive wine list and coctail offerings. The menu for food is simple but thoughtful and intentional. I had the Goat Expectations sandwich and it was delicious. I loved sitting below the gorgeous vingtage lighting fixtures. The Charcuterie board is phenonemal. What a wonderful way to spend a Thursday afternoon or Saturday date. It's truly a destination!”
“I love this community college. This college has helped me with my ADHD and gave me accommodations to help me through the process. I have essential support services that genuinely care about success to move forward with my degree. Heather Pack, Sherron Bristol, and the director of Health and Human Services at Abtech, Porscha Orndorf. I know from experience that these individuals go above and beyond to help you succeed in your classes!Words cannot express how.much these team players have impacted my life!!!Warm Wishes!!!!Amanda Killian”
“This place is great though it is small. They have good books and plenty of Christian gifts. I visit this place every year and love it. The people here are super friendly and nice too.”
“The Bookbinder's Shop is one of the shops in what was once the stable area. It is located across from the customer service area. the staff are very friendly here and will even hold your packages while you explore other areas of the estate. The shop is on the smaller side as it is specialized with mainly reading materials but there are other items too such as dvds and artwork . Some of the books about the estate are just available in this shop. It is one of my favorite stores to explore and find gift items.”

“What a cool and cute lil book shop with a cafe! There's so many knick knacks and puzzles too! The atmosphere was laid back and the ladies at the register were very knowledgeable about the area and funny!
The young man at the Cafe was super friendly! Our drinks were perfect for the weather. I really loved the mature plants all along the windows!
Definitely recommend checking this spot out!”
“It's a university bookstore, nothing fancy. But! they have the displays well laid out. It's not overcrowded with redundant swag. Decent selection of shirts.”
“Over the pandemic I was lucky enough to find a signed copy of Cassandra Peterson’s memoir online through Malaprop’s. It was shipped with love and shipped so fast. I hope to visit IRL one day :)”
