Nice place with an iconic store front. Lots of books in tight, but navigable, rows. There's a mezzanine accessible by stairs with a decent selection of sci-fi.The religion section is not useful. It's mostly self-help style books or cult works. Very few actual theology or doctrine works.However the history selection is great and includes regional Texas books you may not find in many other places.

Cute store, jam-packed with books, and very friendly staff. Would love to go back when I can peruse longer.

After years I am trying to get back to reading, and at front desk(assuming owner) assured it’s a good book. A very warm welcoming vibe. A wide selection definitely be back and recommend.

The bookshop is very nicely located in the heart of downtown Galveston. The store is filled with all sorts of options for whatever literary taste tickles your fancy. The place does smell like an old sailors office, but honestly, it fits the asthetics of the place. The owner greeted us upon entering and was very friendly. There are also old vinyl records available for those that are in a nostalgic mood. The store is much larger on the inside and almost seems like it never ends. Overall, it was worth the stop

Great place for used books and vinyl records. Eclectic, clean, and very nice staff. Happy to support a small business!

staff wasn’t friendly. Books were way overpriced. Didn’t have many interesting books only the usual you’d find anywhere else. This shop is definitely not kid friendly either.

This book store was amazing! I love old book stores and I love vintage horror books. This store had so many paperbacks from hell titles and was so much fun. If your in Galveston Texas stop by and look around. Very cheap prices to.

Great bookstore receptionist was very helpful. Went 30 minutes before closing and was reminded twice that they were about to close so go earlier.

I am a high end book collector, and obviously have a different idea of what “rare” means. Not a single rare book in the place. Only Easton press and folio and American library. The same stuff everyone has. When asked where the sci fi fantasy section was and the rare books from that section the book jockey said something like we have paperbacks upstairs. Yes they do have a selection of paperbacks that you would find at any junk shop. I must say avoid if you are actually looking for rare or expensive books. Not worth the drive. Although the store itself it relatively well laid out and the outside is very inviting.

It's a hidden gem! We didn't know it was there but found it on the way. My advice to you is to go to the bookshop and get something nice to read then go have a sweet while reading. #TinyLuxuries

Wonderful, charming store and friendly employees. If you leave here empty-handed, you didn't look long enough!

Really enjoyed this place. The staff were very friendly and the selection was very unique. Pricing was less than I expected given the location but I wouldn’t classify it as cheap. Definitely worth a stop.

An absolute must for any true booklover! Such a cute shop, and so many books to choose from! They also have a small selection of vinyls.

Was really looking forward to visiting, and finally got to go over the weekend, amazing selection, had no issues bringing in our service dog or our autistic child. Really wish we could have spent more time there! My whole family could get lost in there indefinitely, just never come back out and be eternally happy. We will be making more time in our future trips for more time spent in the store. We even had a laugh when my son found the princess of Mars display asked about it, and my husband and I popped up in unison yeah by Edgar rice Burroughs! Amazing place. We will be back.

This is a great, old fashion bookstore: no pressure to make a selection but knowledgeable advice if needed. Find a comfortable chair and browse all you like.Will definitely return.
