“Fantastic location, with a large selection (that is well organized) and very friendly staff. I also found some great deals on some older more obscure books as well. I’ll definitely be back soon.”
“The cutest little bookstore in downtown Alexandria. They have lots of books for kids, adults, and everything in between. They even have a small cozy reading section. The staff are friendly and provide any help needed, even ordering books if needed. The prices are very comparable to your big box stores, but going to a mom and pop place.”
“Charming little store! The owner was awesome! Was just taking pictures to show my wife and ended up buying her 3 books! Apparently she will be giving me a list everytime I visit the DC area.”
“Best collection of 4k in the area. It truly is better than anything else in the DMV. I walked out with 7 movies today, and they averaged out to about 20 bucks a piece after tax. Unreal.”
“As I was "Window Shopping" in Old Town Alexandria, I saw this book in the window ...Surviving Depression & thought maybe that book could help me get through the depression I'm having after loosing my son to suicide.After talking with Sister Cynthia, she pointed out the other 2 books & donated the Psalms Bible to me, she also stated there was a chapel upstairs if I needed some alone time (I did go up there & it was very peaceful & it's exactly what I needed .. some alone time with God). ❤️I'm not Catholic but I am a Christian, I absolutely loved this bookstore and the people who worked there, I will be back! Thank you so much for listening to me & letting me shed some tears, about my son Zachary, with you. ?God Bless you, Sister Cynthia ❤️?”
“Hourly parking nearby, so it’s great because I go to school in NC. People were friendly.I came in for a notebook. Found a nice Kate Spade one on sell. $13 usually $20.Also bought a hydroflask on sale $20, usually $50. Starbucks is inside.I have zero knowledge of textbooks. I just looked up bookstores and found this one. It’s a Barnes and Noble.”
“Great customer service! The shop is small but with a good selection, and of course any book is available online. They’re very courteous and helpful, and communication with the team either on the phone or through their messaging app is great. Love OTB!”
