This quaint independent bookstore is located at 112 Market Street in a small building right next to…read morethe Historic Roanoke City Market Building in Downtown Roanoke. I have always been fascinated by bookstores, especially ones of this size and nature. So today I decided to walk in to explore it first hand. One of the things that impressed me the most was how clean and well organized it was. From the shinny windows of its storefront to its clean floors and shelves. As I entered, I received a warm welcome by a young lady employee with a nice personality who you could tell she loved her job. She most enthusiastically explained what they had available and where everything was. They carried bestsellers, new fiction, and non-fiction, classic and local interest books, along with high-quality used books. BNF features books about the Roanoke and New River Valleys and the works of local authors along with a special selection of Appalachian fiction and non-fiction. They also provided special orders service, helping find hard-to-find books, and book club specials. Their collection also includes the works of more than 50 local and regional authors and the surrounding areas. Book No Further isn't just a bookstore; it's also a gathering place for the community. The shop regularly hosts book signings, author talks, and book clubs, featuring celebrated writers and spotlighting new talent from the Blue Ridge region. Before leaving I had the privprivilege of meeting Doloris Vest, one of the co-owners of Book No Further Bookstore. I thanked her for the great contribution she is providing to the Star City of Roanoke and its community with her engaging bookstore. Books open windows of knowledge and opportunities as well as provide value and entertainment to all of us. With her creative imagination by incorporating different book clubs, community members gatherings, and many other diverse events, she is contributing to the quality of life of this community and to making the City of Roanoke so special.

This fun little bookshop was in the heart of Roanoke's downtown area. There was a smaller upstairs…read morearea with (from what I recall) children's books, while the lower half held fiction and other genres. There were also fun trinkets such as stickers and bookmarks. The staff was helpful and friendly. Would definitely visit again when in town. While the downtown area itself is relatively small, there are tons of shops and restaurants to explore. So if you're interested in visiting this bookstore, consider coming with an appetite so you can make an evening of the adventure!

A HORRIBLE experience at Sacred Star & Stone Dear Ms…read more Gravely: I am the grandmother of the 9 year old boy who was so excited to have won a $50 gift certificate to your store. The raffle was part of the Floyd Comic Fest (7/11/26) that was a wonderful event geared toward the young folk in the community. It would be difficult for me to describe how thrilled he was to hear his raffle ticket number called out and how delighted he was to have won a $50 gift certificate to a store that he very much liked. We were having a great day! In fact, he was so excited that he wanted to go straight from the library to your store to see what treasures he could now afford. Even though it was raining, I indulged him and we enjoyed perusing the interesting items in your store. After much pondering, he chose a very expensive 3-d printed dragon that used every penny of the gift certificate. I can tell you this was one excited kid...he won a raffle and bought one of his beloved dragons. We got back to our vehicle and in the sunlight noted several cracks in the dragon's "antlers". I commented that it looked like someone had attempted to repair the antlers. We returned to your store within the hour. My grandson was adamant that he wanted to handle the refund/discount/exchange on his own and I reluctantly agreed. I waited outside for 10 minutes before entering the store to see how things were progressing. Imagine my dismay, disgust, and disappointment to find you berating my grandson, accusing him of lying, accusing him of changing his "story" three times, and then telling him "just because your grandmother is here doesn't make what you're saying true". I watched my grandson bravely keeping his composure and trying not to cry as you continued your barrage of accusations and insults. Only after my appearance, did you offer him the option of exchanging for another dragon. I am taking my time and effort to write this letter in the hopes that you never abuse another customer like you did my grandson. Your treatment of him was condescending, disingenuous, and traumatizing and will be something he will carry with him as a learning experience for a long time. We will not step foot in your establishment again and we will not hesitate to share our grandson's experience with you in your store with our extended family and friends. If there were a "minus" rating, you would get it!

They have a small assortment of crystals- not as extensive as Little Shoppe of Crystal's in Staunton (if you're into crystals I recommend you check that shop out!) or The Green Cauldron in Charlottesville. They have a lot of other hippy & witchy themed pieces as well throughout the shop. While we visited they were also doing Tarot readings. Not sure if this is an everyday thing or was a special occasion type deal. Worth a visit if you're a local or visiting the area!

I was so beyond impressed and excited when they told me that was purposeful, and, what's more, that they make it a point to sell things made by POC and queer folks. On top of that, they have an amazing array of crystals, including some very unique carvings that were absolutely lovely (like a little toadstool house!), and pretty much everything else you could want from a metaphysical shop, including some handmade incense that I'm burning right now that is delightful. Also, I'm always treated so kindly by everyone there, who've all been an absolute delight to talk to and so helpful. If you like metaphysical shops or even just pretty rocks and nice smells and pretty decor items, you must give this place a visit!
