Bartleby's Books is a wonderful local bookstore in downtown Wilmington. It is an amazing place with a huge selection of books, new and old, filling the store wall-to-wall. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and extremely helpful. Customers love the great collection, including local books and various other odds and ends like cute nicknacks, pins, and stickers. Handwritten recommendations from the staff can be found around the store. The business provides fantastic customer service, including assisting with special orders and shipping. It is a great bookstore, especially for such a small town, and visitors from out of town are equally impressed. Supporting this store means supporting real people.

I learned about the world record for blown the farthest during a tornado and lived. They were knocked unconscious and flew 1300ft. Pretty cool store, no public bathrooms though
