“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!”
“I absolutely love this Barnes & Noble! The store is always beautifully organized, clean, and has a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere. Their selection is incredible—whether I'm looking for the latest bestseller, a niche hobby book, or a gift, I can always find it here. The staff members are incredibly helpful, friendly, and truly passionate about books, always offering great recommendations when asked. Plus, having the in-store café makes it the perfect place to grab a coffee and spend a relaxing afternoon browsing. It's hands-down my favorite place to shop for books!”
“So many fun things to get distracted by! Pokemon, vampires, ghost, cute plushies, oh my!!! I could spend hours in here! And they have sales and fun book end stuff each time we go!”
“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.”
“Keona and the tech team was amazing and did what ever they could to help me and with all there hard work got me enrolled and starting soon!!! Thank you guys so much!”
“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.”
“I think I've only walked out once without a book, but that was because I couldn't make up my own mind. Anyways, I do usually find what I'm looking for, sometimes I'm super specific so it can be a needle in a haystack type of thing, and plenty of things I wasn't looking for. Staff is friendly enough if I ask for something.”
“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”
“Low budget book, media, and games store with lots of inventory of reruns and second-hand items. I picked up 3 cds and paid only $10. (One cd was only $1.50). There are some items sprinkled in at $20 or more, presumably more in demand. You might find your gem among the stacks.”
“this store is so cute!! the staff was really friendly and helped me find a good book. there are little cards all over with staff reviews of the books, making it easy to find something. i was able to bring my dog in too which is awesome :)”
