Wonderful local bookstore, I had the pleasure of visiting today. The owner and staff are funny and have a great work environment. A vast selection of good reads, so hard not to go crazy and overspend. Knowledgeable staff, ongoing events, and book clubs to keep you coming back. I intend to make this a regular hangout spot. Bright and welcoming environment, a perfect addition to downtown Petersburg. I'm so thrilled they are here.

Resist Booksellers represents independent bookstores at their best. The vision of the owners, the deeply intentional care for every detail, the feeling of the space inside, the ready assistance and the embeddedness in the community. Make your way there - you will be glad you did!

I stumbled upon Resist Booksellers on Independent Bookstore Day, and I'm so glad I did- it's a gem! My partner and I were warmly welcomed at this family-owned business, and we had a great time exploring their wide range of books. They've got something for everyone, from kids to adults. A bunch of their literature touches on relevant issues- racism, colorism, queer struggles, socio-economic challenges- as well as having really intriguing stories and fun reads, too. It's a little bit of a drive into Petersburg, but we will definitely be back! I highly recommend a visit here- invest in Independent, local bookstores!!! (Pictured is a graphic novel we got here)

I cannot get enough of Resist Booksellers! They have an amazing selection of books that are perfect for everyone, no matter what you are looking for. The team behind the site really puts in the care and attention needed to curate a collection that speaks to readers of the resistance and so much more. I'm constantly discovering new books on this site and loving every minute!

Good new releases, I’m finding selections I wouldn’t normally add to my collection. I earn a discount on every future purchase with the reward system. Fast shipping, my last order shipped in less than 12 hours.

If you're looking for an exceptional bookstore that truly values its clientele, look no further than Resist Booksellers! This Black-owned, independent bookstore is breaking barriers and boosting literacy within the Black community.Although I haven't had the chance to visit their physical location yet (since I'm based in Maryland), I'm a frequent shopper at their online store. Let me tell you, their selection of books is always on point! Their communication is top-notch and their books usually ship out the same day if you order before 5 PM. In fact, I get my books faster from Resist than I do from Amazon!I highly recommend Resist Booksellers. Whether you're looking for fiction or nonfiction, I'm confident you'll find lots of books to satisfy your book-loving appetite! Plus, you'll feel good knowing that you're supporting a Black-owned business!

I am in love with this place, first time visiting. Resist Books is now my home away from home. Amazing staff, relaxing atmosphere and all the books that are on my "must read list". I literally just left the store and am already planning my next visit.
