I like to support a local place especially one that is trying to increase reading in a world where people just don't read as much.

Cozy, whimsical, and historical is how I would describe the Galveston Bookshop. Walking in felt…read morelike walking into a storybook waiting to be read. With the many quiet nooks, you're bound to find a quiet place to sit and read. It's a used bookstore with a broad selection of genres. They also sell records which would be perfect for collectors. I bought a new journal from their many gorgeous journal designs. My daughter stumbled upon some books she had her eye on for some time. The store is huge so I'm sure you'd find something worthwhile. I was looking for some philosophy books and the attendant led me right to them. I was happy to see that the prices were reasonable and within my budget. This helps when you're a bibliophile like me. This bookstore felt like it has its roots in Galveston. It's a well-known local used bookstore you'll be happy to visit. Me and my daughter's left with some gems we can't wait to sink into.

I can't believe this shop has been here for 18 years and i only discovered it this year!…read moreThanks to my yelp friend Lisa C. (In Galveston, who I met at the Yelp's ALL-Star event.) I finally made the trip from Katy to visit during the full moon before closing. I absolutely loved the vibe and concept of the store. The mysterious energy was so intriguing and welcoming. Even though I was short on time, the team member did a beautiful job helping me and sharing recommendations for beginner witches. I knew I wanted to start a crystal collection, choose a pendulum, and pick up a few spiritual items. Normally, I like to research books before committing, but I purchased a couple on impulse. my only disappointment was learning afterward that BOOKS are FINAL SALE. I had been under the impression that unopened, non-creased books could be exchanged (not returned) within 10 days. There is a sign displayed, but the wording could be clearer. Had I understood that all books were FINAL SALE, I definitely would have compared prices before purchasing, made a different selection, and purchased only one book. I admire how they place bookmarks inside the books of purchase. The bookmarks double as their business cards, such a smart way to consolidate promotion & usefulness. I adore that unique feature. That said, the friendly service was amazing energy made for a wonderful experience. Witchery has definitely earned a spot on my must-visit list whenever I'm on the island.

Take your time browsing the shelves, you'll leave feeling enchanted and enlightened. I found a book that was waiting for me, can't wait to dive in. They also offer personal oracle readings.

I mentioned how grateful for that I was to the staff and they said they do their best to keep the prices reasonable for the customer.

The books are clean, organized really well section by section, and easy to browse. I went with my daughters and we had such a good time wandering the isles together. They also buy your previously loved books and (if you still have any) DVD's. If you love books and enjoy the thrill of finding unexpected gems, you'll enjoy your visit here.

Not necessarily unfriendly, but certainly not super helpful or give the appearance that they wanted to help you. Seemed like an inconvenience to them. Maybe I caught them on a bad day(?)... hopefully, because I really like this store. I will return.

These previously loved…read morebooks are categorized by different genres and shelved neatly which makes it easy to navigate. I took my time browsing each isle. It felt like a quiet sanctuary filled with pages waiting to be turned. When I shop for used books, most of the time I'm not looking for anything in particular. I love to go for the thrill of finding something I didn't know I needed. The owner was helpful by way of suggesting some books that just came in. He went to the back of the store and brought the box to me. I didn't find anything additional to what I'd already chosen. Being a book lover, it's hard to say no but I also find pleasure in building my to be read book list. The prices are fair. I bought two books for under $10 which made my book-loving heart (and budget) very happy.

The shop was well organized and absolutely packed with books, one of those places where every shelf feels like it holds a new discovery.

I easily could have spent the entire day browsing, but unfortunately work was calling. If you're a book lover and find yourself nearby, Becker's Books is definitely worth the stop.

I love supporting bookstores, new or used. This Barnes & Noble will definitely be seeing me soon…read more They have a wide selection of books from many genres to choose from. While there I discovered their Travel Writing section which I didn't know existed. These are two of my favorite categories to explore. I found a book that I'm excited to dive into. It's been a book on my to be read list for a year now. And, there are many others I'm looking forward to buying soon. Sure I can buy these books online for half the price but if you're interested in supporting the lifespan of bookstores (like me) then you don't mind paying full price. The book I purchased was reasonable for a brand new book that was published just last year. Upon checkout, the bookseller was very helpful getting my daughter signed up with her own membership. To me, they truly value the customers that choose to walk into a bookstore when they know they could easily purchase their books online.

My kids love the kids section even though they can't read but they sure do know to pretend real well. It almost like a one stop shop here because you can buy toys, dolls, figurines. Always a great place to go to for Harry Potter items. I do love that I have been seeing them step up their game on more spray edges and special editions. They just feel so one of a kind! I would like to see kiosk around the bookstore so that you can find out what genre of the books you are looking for. I know there is an info desk but sometimes I've gonna to far in and don't want to go back. There is also a me problem of telling myself " I'm pretty sure I can find it" When I was in college many moons ago I use to study here and it's such an awesome study vibe. I knocked out a star because there no longer is a Starbucks. Honestly it doesn't have to be a Starbucks....I just loves being able to snack on something and sip on a beverage while looking for books. Plus this location misses out on that $5 book deal when you buy any cafe item. Never had issues with parking it's a shared parking lot but they get the corner of the lot so plenty of parking. The employees are friendly, helpful, and are truly fellow book lovers.
