    Fantastic selection and the staff is always super helpful! I love when there is a "last chance"…read moresection for used books but everything is still very reasonable.

    Book Ferret is one of my absolute favorite bookstores, and I always make a point to stop in when…read moreI'm in the area! Though the shop is relatively small, it is not cramped inside and has a great selection. The majority of the store is a fiction section, arranged by author last name, which spans across most of the wall. They also have dedicated sections for several of my favorite topics, such as gender studies, nature, science, and local authors/interest. Each section is smaller than what you'd see in a big-box store, but it doesn't matter because they're perfectly curated -- I would read almost anything I've seen in this store. There is a cart of used books they've just gotten in, but most of the used books are actually shelved alongside the new books in their respective sections. I think this is an excellent use of space, and I like that I can just go look for what I want once, as opposed to searching for something in a used section and then having to search for the exact same thing in the new section if they didn't have it used. There is also a small selection of "last chance" used books at a greatly reduced price. Most, if not all, of the books I saw in this selection were only $2, and they were in great condition! The owner + staff are friendly, and I love their taste in books! If you are near Winston and like to read or know anyone who does, you HAVE to come here.

    I enjoy visiting this jam-packed store and perusing the assortment of books, magazines, stationery,…read moreplanners, calendars, cards, toys and gifts. Having a Starbucks on premises is a nice touch. As other Yelpers have noted, unfortunately this location has felt it necessary to add numerical code locks to the restrooms. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the logistics of needing to use the restroom at the back of the store then needing to traverse to the front of the store to get the code, and back again, is asking a lot and will cause my visits to be cut short.

    I have always enjoyed a nice leisurely stroll around Barnes & Noble, hunting for interesting books…read more I am a voracious reader. I have been a member for years now. The discount and earned rewards are worth the cost of membership. I could spend all day there, perusing the various things that interest me. I am not happy with their change to adding a code to get into the bathroom. I realize they had issues with homeless people misusing the bathroom, but as a rectal cancer survivor, I don't have the time to hunt for an employee to get the code. I was literally seconds away from a bowel accident today, then had to turn around and find an employee. I was lucky, there was a guy shelving books close to the bathrooms. What if he hadn't been there, though? If I had to walk to the customer service desk or the register to get the code, I would have definitely had an accident. My suggestion to anybody that has bathroom issues, or small children, ask for the code as soon as you walk in the door. That way, you don't have to hunt for an employee and risk accidents. That is what I will be doing from now on.

    *this the same review I wrote for the Mebane store" figured since I went to both on the same day…read moreand have similar feelings toward both. No need to rewrite the exactly how I feel. I do not write this review lightly. This store may have ruined all other physical media stores in my vicinity for me. It's like I died and went to heaven. The selection here - unimaginably fantastic The organization - I wish other stores would take notes. Easy on the eyes as your scanning The value - fair. Some super good deals. Some not so much. Way too dangerous for my wallet to come here often. And probably a good thing it's 4 hours away from me. I will be coming back though

    Found myself here looking for a couple used cookbooks I wanted…read more Let me tell you, this place is a lot bigger than you think a used book store should be. They also have so much more like collectibles, musical equipment and much more. You can definitely kill a few hours here if you aren't careful. So much to see. I did find a couple books I wanted at a good price. I also found a used computer keyboard I needed. The books are somewhat organized but finding specific authors can be challenging. Their book collection is extensive. The staff was friendly and there is plenty of parking. I'll be going back to spend more time. I didn't have a lot of time to spend.
