Burke's Book Store is a real deal bookstore for readers and collectors, offering a perfect place with a calm and adventurous vibe. It is an absolute delight and a must-see for book lovers of all ages, featuring that old book smell in the air. The store provides a great cultivation of titles, including a solid selection of currently-talked-about new titles, local authors, classics, and staff recommendations. It is a comfy, used bookstore with a few new titles and a steady supply of used books to look through, where one is always able to find something interesting. They have a plethora of styles with a decent used selection, including a notable biography and memoir section and a dollar shelf with surprising finds. The staff is well-read, very friendly, and helpful, offering great conversation and the decency to not interrupt. If they do not have a book in stock, they will order it very quickly. The store has amazing pricing, generally five to six dollars per book, and they also buy books or offer trade credits. With free off-street parking and a lovely location, it provides the perfect atmosphere and nothing but love. These types of stores are fading fast, making it a good thing to support your neighborhood bookseller.
An eclectic used and new bookstore with awesome decor and great prices.

Cutest little book shop. The first thing that pulled us in was the detectable AC lol but their inventory kept us looking! They carry lots of local authors and have mutiple $1 book sections around the store. The employees were super sweet also!

Recommended as Best Shopping Because: We just love a great bookstore - especially one that carries new, used, and hard-to-find books - and Burke's is all that. Best for Christmas Shopping Because: Besides the fact that Burke's is a dream for browsing, you can find rare titles and editions for gift-giving. Best for Cooper-Young's Best Shopping Because: Burke's is simply the best book-browsing in the city, with affordable prices and a knowledgeable staff.
