I am so obsessed with this bookstore. I could literally wander around it for hours. I love how there are so many different nooks and crannies filled with awesome books. The children's section is small, but jam packed with an awesome selection. My son always loves browsing here. My first stop is always the extensive staff picks selection. I enjoy reading why certain books are recommended. I recently went in for an author reading and that was a really fun and different opportunity. It was super intimate and you really got to get to know the author and hear about their journey. If they don't have a book on the shelf that you want, they will order it for you. Overall a really lovely spot to spend and afternoon.

Briar Chapel book club meets at McIntyre's annually for an overview of their recommendations for our group. Pete Monk, the buyer, shares his time and enthusiasm for interesting, enlightening and entertaining books with us. This charming bookstore has books for diverse interests and readers of all ages. Mystery fans will be delighted with the "mystery room" and the yearly top mystery award. Author events every month add to the joy of supporting this local independent bookstore in the quaint Fearrington Village community.

This is a beautiful bookshop with an amazing variety of books AND unique gift items. But more than that, it's a gracious gathering space for author readings, book signings, discussions, presentations, and workshops. This place has HEART and is always a joy to visit. You'll find new treasures and delights here every time you visit.

Our family was surprised by the lack of diversity and inclusion in the children’s book section. My children asked me why “none of the book characters look like us”. So I looked, and of over 200 books I glanced through, I found protagonist representation in only one book, and I noticed many others not represented as well. I would expect an independent bookstore to do a better job of providing books that are representative of all population demographics. And we aren’t nitpicking here because we are members of a big demographic. We teach our children that inclusion means ALL, not SOME.

McIntyre's Books is a remarkable, independent bookseller. Despite its small size when compared to the big guys like Barnes and Noble, they manage to keep a nice supply of current titles on hand. The people who work there are actual readers, not like the chain stores which are staffed with clerks rather than knowledgeable purveyors.One of my favorite features of McIntyre's is that a good percentage of the books are displayed with reviews from staff. So, rather than just reading the book jacket which contains only what the publisher wishes to share with you, you get more insight into the actual contents. Take the time to review Pete's Picks if you're browsing with no particular title or author in mind. You can bet you'll come away with a book you'll be pleased with.The atmosphere is very pleasant and when you interact with the staff you get the feeling you are discussing books with a fellow book lover.Don't expect big discounts like B & N, but the joy in shopping there is well worth the difference.
