I love physical books, but don't buy them often because I have a Kindle and because they've gotten expensive over the years. HOWEVER, give me a deal and it's on! HAHA! I had never been to this book store until the sale. It's small, but there's such a good selection of used books. The used books are also in really good shape. The team member on site the day we went was GREAT! He took the time to assist us in looking for books on our lists and giving us recommendations for other books to read. I also like the idea that you can bring the books back that you purchase, for a percentage off on your next book. Check them out, explore the selection they have, and support local!

The process was super easy. I went partly in hopes of finding a used copy of a novel my Book Club has been wanting to read, but isn't at the library. I was shocked/overjoyed to find TWO copies, both of which I purchased on the spot. Great value for sure. Can't wait to go back & browse their selection more fully when I have more time. (I will definitely be bringing more books to trade-in also.) *The shopping center where this is located has a lot of other fun gems also- check out Ferrucci's!

Love this place!!! Decided to meet up with a friend for coffee (well tea for me) and she suggested…read morethis place as 'the perfect spot'. And it was. I read through some of the other reviews and I want to set the record straight. Yes, it's inside a church but there is a separate entrance. Yes, there are Christian books but also other genres. Yes, the coffee is very affordable BECAUSE all the staff are volunteers. No one is getting paid and they LOVE what they do. All smiles and great service. The proceeds go to local and global missions of the church. Win, win all the way around. The place itself is very spacious. Two levels. The seating areas are comfortable and far enough apart you can have some semiprivacy if you need it. My friend who brought me says she comes here all the time to study (she's in college). All of the staff knew her by name. (love places like that) I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't really speak to the coffee (although my friend says it's pretty good). I am a tea drinker though and they have a variety of flavors, some refresher juice drinks, a few pastries. Please support. Every now and again if you're thinking of getting coffee or a pastry, choose them. Why not? Do some good for the community through others who are committed to giving back.

Not a Fan of the Service Here…read more I'm not sure what's going on, but the "manager" Gabriel needs to work on his people skills. Walked in looking for a specific book, and he practically barked at me to ask what I wanted. Not exactly the welcoming atmosphere I'd expect from a bookstore. He didn't even bother to help me find the book I was looking for, just grunted and pointed me in the general direction of the shelves. Definitely won't be back. 0/5 stars from me.

It is impossible to even sit down and enjoy a good book or write a College Paper, without being encumbered by the suffocating energy of the local folk. The things they talk about are so damn mind numbing. I honestly wonder how most of this town survived infancy to be honest. Sitting inside the Franklin Square Books A Million feels like the equivalent of stuffing my brain into a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Literally. Just the other day I was in here picking up a copy of Don Quixote and the cashier is rambling for several minutes about Count Dooku from Star Wars, completely unprofessional and creepy as all hell to be honest. **Fun Fact** in Mexico Sancho is a rapist/philanderer but in the book he is a Squire. Ironic? Yeah. I think so too. The other staff are actually quite helpful. I like the old lady who works at the café, I think she runs a witches coven in her off time. She actually headed me my candy blasted frappé and told me that she could read minds. . bottom line this place is weird and enter at your own risk. Run for your lives folks. Or go to the Barnes and Noble at Carolina Place. Ask about the coffee for dead soldiers !!

Whenever we visit cities outside our hometown area, we always look for bookstores ... used books…read moreor new. On this visit to Charlotte, NC we stopped in at the Book Rack. Besides a focus on mystery and thrillers, they really had most genres covered. Most of the books here ... and they claim tens of thousands of books ... are used, and are generally on consignment from somebody. So quality varies, and you might find two copies of something in very different conditions and at matching price points. That being said, the selection was exceptional and well worth investigating. The Book Rack had an especially large selection of kids books ... which was great for us. The only downside of some of these large holdings is that they aren't all classified and organized. Sometimes a certain genre will just be stacked in crates or boxes ... but don't let that dissuade you. There are treasures to be found here. If you like books and enjoy the hunt, this place is for you. Recommended.

What stood out the most was that unlike a shop we visited yesterday (I won't name it, but it's in Hickory), my son wasn't followed around by the owner/staff like he was up to no good (my son is 2 months shy of 7 at the time of this, and he kept his hands in his pockets most of the time, so I'm not sure why that person felt the need to make me uncomfortable by following my kid and getting wide-eyed every time he pointed to something or touched anything). We felt very welcome at Got Books, and I look forward to going back! Also, the coffee is great!

This is such a cute book shop! I went here as part of Greater Charlotte's book crawl and I'm so…read moreglad I did. There are a wide variety of books, puzzles, games, candles, apparel, bookmarks, pins. There's a cute children's room in the back although not much seating back there. I also enjoyed seeing books with LGBTQIA+ representation and BIPOC representation not only in the store as a whole but displayed in the children's section. My favorite part are all the sticky notes around the bookshelves with recommendations or information about what books might have the author signature inside. There's offerings of free hot beverage and a sofa with a few places to sit on the main part of the bookstore which is a nice touch, too. As a sidebar, I love the little town of Mooresville, too! I've never been over there but cute shops, restaurants and park all walkable. The book shop is in a great location and definitely think you should go by and visit if you have the chance!
