This store is a gem with plenty of hidden gems on the shelves. You can really lose yourself here. It's like being welcomed into the past. If you're truly a book lover, this is the place for you.

A much belated shout-out to Pages Past and its owner Roger March! As a professional educator (I teach English, History, Debate, and Mythology with a bit of Greek and Latin) Roger has helped me assemble a scholar's library over the course of the past two plus decades that would be impossible and unaffordable through any other source. My students and colleagues have access to these books and are totally amazed! Roger is always extraoridinarily helpful with my antiquarian and contemporary selections and recommendations as he himself is very much a scholar. Great atmosphere in the shop--I've been to antiquarian bookshops all over the world and they have nothing over his selection, his amicable demeanor, and his knowledge! Always a pleasure likewise to simply drop by and engage in some "book talk" and petting of the shop pup Watson who greets everyone with love and enthusiasm!

The bookstore that dreams are made of! This shop was an absolute treasure trove full of unique & rare books that you don’t find just anywhere. I was lucky enough to walk out with my arms full of antique & vintage books for a great deal! The sweetest dog was the store greeter & the owner was kind & knowledgeable. Absolutely will come here over and over again!

Great selection of books and many new ones at half the cover price. Roger knows his writers and keeps an impeccable range of subjects of great interest to me. I’ll make sure to visit again on our next trip to NC.

I love this place! Totally recommend everyone to stop by and just simply give the place a smell! You'll smell all the missing history waiting to be revealed!! Owners are very welcoming and understanding! Prices are amazing for the treasures you'll find! My favorite is the religion sections.

I enjoy this bookstore as it is one of my favorites in North Carolina. I've been shopping with Pages Past in person and I frequently order from online. They have a great selection of North Carolina related materials that I often seek. Personally, I've only had great experiences with this store. After reading some of the reviews, I suppose someone could have a different experience, but I cannot say I have ever had a bad experience. Thanks for having such a great bookshop open to the public that caters to book collections such as mine. :)

We loved this quaint little bookstore. So many excellent finds, especially if you love antique books! They are, in fact, open for walk ins, make sure you pick the door with the “indoor shopping” sign on it, there is only one entrance to the store! Very lovely used bookshop.

Drove out here during posted business hours, to a store which claimed to have in store shopping, only to find that they are closed and won’t let anyone in. A waste of an hour driving out here and screwing around here for parking and such. I often spend hundreds in a book shop but it is unlikely I will ever try to return to this one.

Excellent online customer service experience! Roger emailed me back promptly and more than answered my question. From his thorough description, I felt as though I already had the book in hand. The book arrived a few days later and was exactly as described. Looking forward to doing business with him again and visiting his shop when I'm in the area.

Called this local bookstore because it was recommended on rare book sites. I was Seeking information about a rare book. Owner answered phone. He Answered a few of my questions but seemed bothered by the call. He informed me that he had missed two calls while he was talking to me...Wow. Really? Had always wanted to visit this store, I’ll definitely travel to another city before I buy books at this establishment.
