Fun shop with so many unique finds. Books of all kinds, Knick knacks, games, you name it, it can probably be found here. It's two levels and stuffed to the brim with items. Shop owner is very kind and even got to meet his pup(: I got some cool miniature books and a metal bookmark from here, both well priced. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! read more

Yelp 365 Challenge x 2 #280/365 Yelp 100 Review Challenge #25/100 When I first saw the pictures on Yelp of Books and Other Found Things, it was my mission on the first weekend to check out this little store located in the historic part of Leesburg. The first thing I noticed was the welcome sign, "Aloha! Come in!" I thought it must be a Hawaiian theme for the day as I walked into the little store, which is actually a house. I fell in love-I want my house to look like this store! It exudes the warmth of immediately feeling at home and relaxing you. The books filled the shelves and the displays was a perfect touch to the ambiance of the the bookshop. The owner, Allen was so nice and welcoming. This store is better than any book store I've been to. In fact, if you ever seen the movie, "You've got mail" with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks? This bookshop reminds you of that store (Little Shop around the Corner) in that movie. Anyhow, if you're looking for a book that you think may be out of print or just wondering if you will find your favorite childhood books, you just may find it here. I found that he had the original books of Laura Ingalls Wilder! As I was oohing and aahing, my ears all of sudden perked up as the Hawaiian music of Hapa filled the bookshop. I paused and looked around. Sure enough, the CD was on display to show what was being played. I shared with the owner it's so interesting that the music comes on when I'm at the store sharing that I'm visiting from Hawaii. First, the welcoming sign and now Hawaiian music! While I'm still thinking that it was a Hawaiian theme for that day, he smiled big and shared that he was born and raised on Oahu...Kaneohe/Kailua side to be exact! That's when I looked closer at his appearance, he was in aloha casual. Aloha shirt, jeans and barefoot that reminded you of the movie, "The Descendants". We chatted for awhile about Hawaii until another customer came in, which gave me the chance to look around. I found the original version of Maya Angelou's book, "I know why the caged bird sings". And guess what...it was so reasonably priced that it borders on cheap. I take that back, it was a cheap price. I love this store and not just because the owner was born and raised in Hawaii but it's that type of store that you can just stay in there all day because it's just so welcoming! For parents, grandparents, aunties, or uncles-there's a children's area where you can sit and read with your kids. There's other handmade items that are on sale too. Here it was only the first weekend I was away from home yet I was missing Hawaii and I was missing my family. Enters in the little bookshop in the historic part of Leesburg showing me no matter where you travel, you'll end up meeting someone that will say, "Hey! I'm from Hawaii too! Or I visited Hawaii!" Love it! Prices: reasonable Customer Service: friendly and personable Location: perfect in the heart of Leesburg Recommend: yes, yes, yes read more

A lovely little store in an old home in downtown Leesburg. While not an extensive collection, it was of good quality and the store itself is inviting and warm, like the home of an eclectic collector. read more

Thank you Allen for helping me find two books for my son. It is wonderful to find a book store in our Town of Leesburg. If you stop by Leesburg, please stop by. This place is charming. read more

I LOVE this little hole in the Leesburg wall :) Packed to the gills with tons of books and knick knacks. The owner is warm, caring and very friendly. I told him my son was/is a dinosaur fanatic and he helped me find some wonderful dinosaur books which, at the time, I couldn't buy because I was short on $$. The owner held the books for me and when I couldn't make it in time by our agreed-upon date, he sent me a friendly text message asking if he should continue holding the books (vs. automatically putting the books back on the shelf). This was such a kind, thoughtful gesture and I truly did appreciate very much. I eventually made it there and bought about 7-10 dinosaur books to my son's absolute delight. The atmosphere here is warm and fuzzy and you can just peruse the shelves comfortably and for hours with so many great books at every turn. Great spot for local book lovers. An absolute pit stop when you are shopping in Leesburg. read more

Ask the owner for a tour of the shop to get your bearings since the categories aren't labeled. Once you know where everything is take your time and browse! A huge and eclectic selection in a beautiful atmosphere. My favorite place in Leesburg. read more

This place is amazing! My 8 year old can spend hours in here, (though, we usually get dragged out by other family members). It's a charming house, where every space is filled with delightful finds. From 1st edition Harry Potter, (score for the 8 year old!), to beautiful rare British fairy tales. There is so much to see. On a previous visit, I purchased a gem - a 1941 copy of "A Yank in the RAF." The owner is warm and friendly and I love chatting with him about books and fun acquisitions in the store. This store is pretty much the main reason we visit Leesburg! read more

Cutest book store I've ever seen. The owner is friendly and does things for the kids, it's set up cute. Nice places to sit down and read

This place is amazing! I could spend all day in here! There are books on everything you could ever need or want. There is beautiful art of all kinds from various local vendors. I found 3 books, and one of them was free. The owner explained that sometimes publishers send him free copies and he just doesn't feel right trying to sell them if he got them for free. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Lots of options, my fiancée and I both found things we like and things to explore. Guy there was nice and checked on us if we needed help. Overall solid place. read more

We never miss "Books" on our trips to Leesburg. A small place stuffed to the rafters with (of course) books, there is something here for everyone. Friendly, knowledgeable owner will make you forget Amazon...this store is a must for anyone who loves books, the book-buying experience, or would just like to spend some time meandering through literary history, one room at a time. read more
