What a lovely little book shop! Locally owned and operated, this shop drew me in while strolling…read morealong Beverly Street in Staunton during Labor Day weekend. The owner is so sweet. Despite getting distracted by a dog she recognized (lol!), she was quick to greet us and ask if she could help us find anything. She later noticed me quizzically looking at a book and asked again if she could help me. I voiced what I was thinking at that point (because it was a very specific thought about the Italian author), and she researched the answer for me. I then asked a couple other questions, grabbed some books to purchase, and then chatted for a bit. I love that bookstores like this still exist! She also offers 10% off new books, so that's awesome too. And in the age of Covid, book-themed masks are available to purchase - they're located at the front of the store. You can find a bunch of different genres here, and both new and used titles. It's a small but mighty shop, and I'm so glad to have stumbled into it. Future trips to Staunton will have to include visits to The Book Dragon!

I enjoyed the ambience of the store it was cozy inside and so many books to look at. The book shelf's went up to the ceiling. The shelves are organized by alphabetical order and then genres.

With a rainy weekend on tap, hiking was out of the question so we went to the Downtown Mall and wandered through the stores. I love Charlottesville...I want to live here. But that's a story for another time. Back to the review. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the nicest person I encountered all day. She was taking down Christmas decorations but offered her time to help us find our next read. She also offered some restaurant recommendations and went above and beyond to help us as we shopped. If course we bought books! She was so lovely that I would have bought something even if I didn't want it. We went to Blue Whale later that day and it was like night and day as far as shopping experiences go.

I haven't been to this book store in over 30 years and I'm so glad that it is still around…read more It definitely made me relive my scholastic book fair memories.

Also the young woman at the desk didn't really seem that interested in helping anyone she just stood there and said nothing to anyone the whole time I was in the shop.

A weird and wonderful selection of books both ancient and new, all priced so perilously low that you will have a problem not leaving with a large stack for under $30. Adorable in all aspects, this shop made me long for days I spent in my grandparents' library at their house as I grew up and kept me hunting in the stacks for almost an hour.

I was impressed with the size of this toy store and excited to see that they carry many of my favorite toy brands like Folkmantis, Calico Critters and Ravensberger puzzles. They had a lot of fun sounding games I hadn't heard of as well. Aside from high quality toys and puzzles Shenanigans also had some really nice seasonal stuff like Advent calendars. My husband and I explored for quite awhile and finally landed on a Jellycat branded stuffed animal for a friend. For such a lovely store I would have expected there to be a little bit more in the way of service. For the fifteen minutes we spent in there the only acknowledgement we received was three words when we checked out - twenty-three seventeen. Maybe the employee was just having a hard day.
