“a neat little store tucked away in a small shopping center. Man, did they have a lot of good stuff. I was tempted to buy a blind bag for the first time in I-can’t-remember-how-long, and was rewarded a juicy collection of five early ‘90s titles and a dopamine hit that carried me through the next week. Even ghostly Madame Compulsionne trailed her ruby nails through my hair and temptingly whispered, “Maybe collect the whole run?”

Oof. Yes. I resisted, but I was surprised to feel that old, familiar tug. I even posted a “haul” post to social media.

A hat tip to Third Eye’s owners. You nearly had me, you cunning bastiches. Nearly.”

“The worst thing about this bookstore is its name. I can never remember it. It probably means something but I am out of the loop. If you can get past the name, bbgb is an great bookstore for children in the heart of Richmond's Carytown. It is not huge but it has an excellent curated collection where readers of all taste can find something appealing. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable; they will help guide you to a choice if you are not sure what you are looking for. Loyalty discounts are available to repeat customers.”

“A super cute, small book and record store with a combination of new and used books that is in an inauspicious basement level shop in The Fan neighborhood. Their used books are priced super fairly (mostly $4-6, up to $10) and it’s in an area where parking isn’t difficult at all. They buy used books, and the shelves are a mixture of new and used that are divided by genre rather than price/new or used status. It’s also within walking distance of Abi’s Books & Brews, if you want to check out both while in the area!”

“A nice alternative to Barnes and Noble. When I first moved up here (pre covid) they seemed kinda expensive, but for what I buy their prices haven't gone up since, so now compared to the rest of the world they are affordable. Staff have been nice every time I've gone in. Their location changed, which I'm sure is confusing some folks because the old building still has the name up, so I've attached a picture of the front of the new building.”

“Been here a few times, great selection of books/tarot/stones. They let me try on poison rings to try to decide what exactly I liked. The apothecary side is also really neat.
They have a bunch of fairly priced incense and beautiful holders.

Lastly, the shop shares a large parking lot with Elwood Thompson which is great for people who are scared of parallel parking… maybe speaking from experience.”

“I have been buying books from this shop for twenty years. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The stock cannot be beaten in Americana, Literature, and History and this is an excellent place to find an uncommon book for a gift. The owner and his wife are exceptional people, who hosted me by appointment for a few hours. They offered to have me stay as long as I wanted until closing. They are now appointment only, due to the pandemic and their new location, as many similar booksellers have become. This should not be a deterrent! It is certainly worth arranging a trip!”

“A cute indie bookshop in Carytown with 2 store cats and a large selection of new (downstairs) and used (upstairs) books. They are definitely on the pricier side for their used books relative to some others in the area, but it is still worth checking out to see if you can find anything good! And the entire downstairs space is made up of a curated selection of new books.”

“Everyone I've met here is so knowledgeable and just nice to talk to. Some of my favorite conversations have been here. The selection is so good that I always end up getting more than what I went in there for. A trip here always brightens my day.”

“As a thriller and romance author, I always enjoy visiting bookstores while traveling, and Barnes & Noble is a great location.

The store has a clean, well-thought-out design that makes it easy to browse and spend time exploring different sections. The music section and audiobook area are especially nice additions, giving the store a broader media feel beyond just books.

There’s also a comfortable café area, which makes it easy to sit down with a drink and take a break while browsing.

The staff has always been friendly and helpful, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere.

Overall it’s a well-designed Barnes & Noble with a strong selection and a great place to spend some time.”

“Pretty good campus bookstore, I like hanging out in their cafe more than the library because it's usually more empty. However I'm usually not there long because of the time it closes. Very good book selection even though it's only about a 3rd of the store or less ? it's mostly clothes”
