“the plant i bought here is the only plant ive ever managed to keep alive. the plants sold here come very strong and well taken care of and the care cards are accurate!”
“Visiting Scrawl Books was a treat. This independent bookstore is conveniently located in Reston Town Center with plenty of parking and options to get lunch nearby—everything you need to browse for hours! Absolutely loved browsing the local author selection and can’t wait to return for more.”
“Good tailored local selection. Indoor the store was both busy with each of my now 2 visits— and generally a bit warm on the climate control. (Spring evening, was about 4-6*F warmer than normal comfort level— so I’d say it would have been 75-78F with the temperature outside cooler.)”
“It's a great place to hunt and explore and the ambiance is cozy and kind! However the pot smoking hippie out front was my only negative moment as he was blowing skunk at anyone passing by...lol. Not the store keepers fault at all but just a hilarious moment as we rolled in To find treasures”
“it's a bit out of my way to get to but I've stopped in dozens of times. This store in particular is very clean and has really great prices on their retro video game selection. Tons of Funko pops too if you're into that sort of thing.”
“I published my first illustrated book, For the Love of Laxmi with Mascot Books, on February 1, 2022. We started working together on the book in June 2021 - I had already worked with an illustrator to get the designs done on my own, so I didn't end up using their design services, so I cannot entirely comment on that. I worked with Mascot on their publishing, distribution, and marketing options, and I admire them and their work. This was my first book ever, so I had a lot of anxiety about timing, quality, and ensuring we would have a good go-to-market strategy. I initially micromanaged with a million questions, which their team handled so gracefully. I do wish their team provided frequent communications and more face to face/zoom time to help reassure, but outside of that, they were always on top of things behind the scene - the book quality was stunning, the distribution was outstanding, and truly resulted in a great first release. I can't wait to work with them on the other project.”
“I’ve been in the store several times but hadn’t met the sales person Rami (I hope I’m spelling that correctly). Rami made the experience so wonderful. He was so kind, so helpful, friendly and personable. We made our purchases and thanked Remi so much for his help and then later on in the day, I realized I lost my glasses, ran back to the store, and Rami came up to me and handed them to me like he knew I was coming back for them. He is just awesome. I can’t say enough good things about him, I hope he’s recognized for all the good work he does and how good he is with customers. I tried to call the store directly, but it was transferred to corporate so I was unable to tell the manager how lovely Rami was, but I hope they see the review and realize how lucky they are to have such a wonderful person working for them.”
“Okay, so I had a hard time finding this place. For those of you who are new to Loudon, it's in the basement of the LR building. It was super easy to find my textbooks here. The cashiers/staff are all so friendly, and they'll help you find everything you need. Returns are super easy too. Just make sure you keep your receipt!”
