Book Stores in Concord, NC

“Goldberry Books is easily the best bookstore in the area. They have a huge selection with something for everyone, and they do an especially great job with classics—often carrying really beautiful editions.

One of my favorite parts is their Tolkien section. They have a dedicated area for The Lord of the Rings and other Tolkien works, which is a great touch for fans. Their teen section is also excellent, and the kids’ room is really well done and fun to explore.

They even have sections that feel like a bit of a treasure hunt, with low-cost books where you can dig around and find great deals. That’s always a fun experience.

The owners are wonderful, and the whole bookstore has a cozy, welcoming feel. I really like the layout, and it’s just an enjoyable place to spend time. I’ve been going since they opened and have loved it ever since.

As a bonus, they’re right next to an excellent coffee spot, the Press & Porter. I’d recommend grabbing a Corban coffee from their local favorites board and pairing it with Watership Down by Richard Adams—hard to beat that combination.

Overall, it’s a fantastic bookstore and a perfect place to spend a relaxed afternoon.”

“Love going here and browsing. They always have sale tables, newest arrivals, and really neat book/movie related accessories. I always go home happy from this store!”
