My favorite record and book store in the US. Not the largest, not the biggest selection, but exactly what a used shop should be. Great staff, always a pleasant experience.

I really enjoy going to Reader's Corner. I've gotten some great books for a reasonable deal and the organization of books in the store is really easy to navigate in my opinion. I brought my daughter in a few weeks ago and she was looking for one of her book club books. She asked one of the men working there where it might be and he walked away and found it immediately- on top of that it was a good price for an almost new book. The one thing about this place that I wish could be better is the space- it can get cramped in there when they're busy (10 or more customers) and some isles are hard to look through because your back is pushed up against the parallel bookshelf. Overall, it's a very cute store with good resources and approachable employees who know what they're talking about. There's a lot of character to the space with old notes and photos taped to the end of every shelf and the large selection of books outside (covered by an awning) are dirt cheap and fun to look through. I highly recommend this place!

One of my favorite places to find books. You have to have the time to look and search, but totally worth it. An institution in this area!

A great used book store. Easy to find. The books are well organized with unique selections and good prices. I found a great unusual copy of a David Foster Wallace book and ducked out to catch a plane home, but I could have spent the day there picking through all their great selection. I'm jealous of those of you who live close by. Enjoy the browsing and then the reading!

Absolute favorite used book store in Raleigh - the people there are so nice, and the selection is amazing! I always leave with a huge stack of books. If you’re a reader, this is THE place to go.

I don't live in Raleigh, but I've traveled here for work over the last couple years. If I ever get a little free time, my favorite thing to do is hit up used bookstores, and this one has never disappointed. I am always extremely impressed with the selection, and come away with way more than my budget allows.

Love this store. Go every time I’m in the area. Always get good deals and have always found a book I am looking for. Employees are very knowledgeable and know their inventory.

I remember going here when I was in middle school. I discovered Calvin and Hobbes in the corner. We would go twice a week before picking up my sister at ballet and i have fond memories of the place.We’re in a strange culture currently. some people want to ban books. I’ve never known anyone to be damned for reading too much, but rather it is for our lack of reading that we narrow our imagination and lessen our intelligence. Even the worst books are easily remedied by a better book thereafter.In the debate of books vs. ban… bet on books, every time.I don’t understand that the mentality of looking around at all the problems in the world and thinking to onself: You know who the real threat to American democracy is?Librarians.In the wee hours of the morning after the bars close you can purchase the 25 cent to the left or the 10 cent to the right. The Readers Corner has good quality surprises in the $.25 section. I got a bird song book and a military history book at 3 AM in the morning. $.50 for the two.

Parking was easy with the parking lot. They had a good flow of people in and out. Book prices were reasonable. The staff was great! The store is interesting with more then just books. They had discount book outside. Love the place! I would return.

By far my all-time favorite used book store! This place is a little hidden gem right by NC State. I used to come here as a student and had many wonderful suggestions by the staff on what to read next. Totally JAM PACKED with books of all kinds!

Incredible store with sections for pretty much any genre you can imagine. I zeroed in on the horror section and found some GREAT stuff that is long out of print. The prices were great. I will definitely be back!
