Wallace and Charlotte started the business in the den of their home. The business increased and the Evans built their current store in 1994. The goal was to encourage patrons to read more to become more knowledgeable about the bible and to provide black history materials for the surrounding schools, a void that needed to be filled.

Stopped in on a Saturday heading back from the beach. I wanted to trade 2 paperbacks and the lovely…read moreclerk said I can choose a paperback for what I brought in. Unsurprisingly, I found a book for my new bookcase. If you have nothing to trade, you can still find great titles here at a really great price. The shop is small, but they have a decent selection of books. Still on my quest for used cookbooks as well. I will keep checking back here for more titles.

It'll be great if they could add some reading nooks in the store to encourage folks to sit and read while perusing the books. They also have a wine tasting/wine-bar on one side of the store.

Went here for the 1st time on Sunday September 14th 2025 with my parents. I have been at a barnes…read moreand noble before, and love the bookshop vibes! Lots of books, and also music cds, and dvds! Located in Market Commons in Myrtle Beach, SC near the Stone movie theatre and other eateries nearby and within walking distance. We were actually walking from Kings Grille that was about 3 blocks away. Decided to look in here because I love to find a nice book to read. They had a lot of books from romance to steven king to biographies,cookbooks, magazines and more! They also have music cds, vinyls, and dvds for purchasing. Upon looking, I found The Wicked Soundtrack of the original broadway show, and decided upon getting it. I also was looking for a Percy Jackson series books- I think trials of Apollo- and all those books were in the kids section with the Harry Potter Books and Goosebumps. For kids, they also have lots of toys and jigsaw puzzles. An unique thing to Barnes and Noble is that they also had tons of Harry Potter items- such as legos where one can build the scenes of the movies, and various shirts too. I couldn't find trials of Apollo though, but it's okay! Store was clean and organized. Went to the front to pay for the Wicked Soundtrack. Hardly a line, Cashier was pleasant- paid with cash and the total was $13.00 for the cd! Got accurate change. Oh and they also have a starbucks here plus a cafe to sit down and read, and wifi too! Hope to be back soon!

When I tell you this bookstore is absolutely beautiful and eclectic, I truly mean it. From floor to…read moreceiling, the shelves are packed with books ranging from vintage finds and timeless classics to newer reads, making it feel like there is something here for every kind of reader. They also carry stunning leather bound books along with drawing supplies for the artists and creatives out there. Wandering through this bookstore felt like stepping into a magical little world that I genuinely did not want to leave. Even though we stopped in close to closing time, the owner never once made us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. She was incredibly welcoming, kind, and happy to have us there. This is exactly the kind of local shop I will happily return to again and again, not just to continue exploring the endless stacks of books, but to support and see the wonderful people who run it as well.

There…read morewere some inconveniences, yet they were unavoidable & being taken care of the best they could. This is why I am rating this bookstore 4.4 stars - rounds off to 4 stars. Excellent customer service - 5 Stars. The owner of the bookstore was at the entrance and greeted me & others immediately when we entered the bookstore. Upon entering, I noticed many areas were sectioned and off limits. I found out later that they were placing books back in the bookshelves after they were taken away to repair broken pipes in the store and to prevent them from getting damaged. There were a literary jukebox and vending machine dispensing capsules with quotes - both out of order. I still had a good time wandering around the bookstore and browsing books there. I found a book in the clearance section for 25 cents and purchased it. Despite the inconveniences in the store due to the building being old and being repaired by the owner herself, I am impressed by how personable & amicable the owner was and that she was repairing the pipes in the store by herself instead of hiring someone to do it. I know when the books are organized back on the shelves that I will probably come back and spend more time here. This is a bookstore to see in Wilmington again and again.

One can spend hours browsing new and old books in this bookstore for hours.

The bookstore was filmed in the scene where Laurel and Susannah see writer Cleveland Castillo at the Whale of a Tale bookshop (Episode 1.3) (Episode 1.3) One of the most unique and joyful bookstore experiences I ever had in my life.
