This is a wonderful book store full of books for everyone. They even have very extensive used book section. There is plenty of parking and lots of fun author events that you can attend throughout the year. It's worth it to get on the email list so you can stay up to date with all of their events. read more

A gem in our community! This book store is perfect. The selection, the staff, the location, just perfect. Thank you!

We are a Hispanic family, and we visited this Book Center, interested in purchasing a few new books for my kids. From the onset, we were stared at when we walked in rather than being welcomed in. We were followed around the entire time we were there. We were quietly walking around browsing, but it felt awkward the way we were being stared at (and not in a friendly manner) the whole time we were there. Other customers at the store (non-Hispanic) were not being treated this way. Discrimination at its finest, we felt and saw it. We quietly left the store to never return again. We always spend hundreds of dollars every quarter purchasing new books, and not a penny will be spent at this store. The Book Depot nearby was a much more pleasant experience. read more

Overall, it's a very nice bookstore. The used book section is a lot larger than I expected. The range of new books was a bit lacking and the prices were a bit higher than online, but overall pretty good. The entire upstairs is dedicated to kids which I loved. It'll make shopping for my nieces and nephews a lot easier. I'll definitely be returning. read more

What a treat! I wanted some books because my iPad broke and I needed reading material while I waited for a replacement tablet. Found this place using Yelp and it's truly a hidden gem. Location at the rear of buildings in a shopping center means you have to hunt for it, but it's worth the search and there is plenty of parking. Good selection of books, fairly decent selection of crossword puzzle publications, and the staff was very friendly. Definitely a place to visit and support! read more

Great bookstore. Very well organized and displays are very helpful when picking books read more

The Vero Beach Book Center - Toy Stores Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

I've been twice, and this place is a gem. The staff is friendly, the store is clean and well-organized, and the prices are right. The children area upstairs is perfect, and also very well maintained. This store has a great following and legacy in the community, and it is easy to see why. The Santa event they have on Small Business Saturday is as good as it gets. Thank you so much, this place is fabulous! read more

We visit Vero twice a year but just found this gem. Such a great environment and unbelievable selection. The staff was really helpful and so nice. Only downside we're not going to be here for Nelson DeMille signing. read more

Now THIS is the way a bookstore should be.... Big enough to have lots of interesting books, toys, seconds, cards, calendars, but not SO big that you're in the mall (the usual Florida way). The BEST personal help one could ever hope for: knowledgeable staff with service in mind. The Book Center has a loyal following of local folk who appreciate the personal service, the continual stream of author lectures and signings, and the quickest, most courteous gift wrapping this side of the North Pole...... Try the Children's Center out back for toys, books, and a huge upstairs of bargain basement books as well. read more

Love this local, independent, family-run bookstore. They are super friendly - chatty when you want to chat, but won't bother you if you just want to be in and out or you just want to browse quietly. Fantastic used book selection upstairs, and their children's bookstore - which is in a separate building around the corner - is top-notch. The regular bookstore (non-children's, non-used) is not particularly large but they'll order anything you can't find. VB Book Center, we love you, but what's the deal with no seating? If you had chairs to lounge in (either inside or outside), I'd be here all the time. As it is, right now I only stop by when I have something specific I'm looking for. read more

I was disappointed with this bookstore after all the glowing comments I was expecting much more. Don't get me wrong, this is a very nice bookstore, and I applaud it for being able to survive as an independent, but it does not compare with other independents I have visited (eg Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, VT). So I give it an "average" rating. By all means - stop in if you are in the area, but don't make it a destination. (I did not go into the children's store) read more

What a great experience. I went in to look at some books for our soon to be born great grandson. I was greeted with a warm hello from the 2 people by the front desk. I asked where the books for new borne were and was told by Susan the manager they were right upstairs. She said if I needed help just let her know. I called her name and she came up to give me several suggestions she was very helpful and even helped me to check out up stairs and offered to wrap the books and when I said we wanted to write a special message in each one she gave me the wrapping paper, ribbon and card to take home ! The ONLY place to buy books in Vero Beach. Casper Maier read more

Awesome book store with a large selection of books. Very good section of classics but lacking a bit in terms of plays and theatre related books. read more

This is a great indie bookstore. They have so many books, especially kids' and young adult. They also have toys and other gift items, but since it's such a giant store, that doesn't take away from the books. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Great bookstore - independent, local, a great change of pace from Borders and Barnes & Noble. Scooped some Christmas gifts and Chuck Klosterman's latest for myself to read on the plane home. read more

It's like most any bookstore, which is just okay, except that there's no place to sit and read, so I would prefer Barnes and Noble or even the Books a Million. On the upside, they have bargain books; but on the downside of the upside, the prices aren't that much of a bargain. And all you'll meet here are the beach crowd. Not the sometimes-cool and often-sexy, beach-going crowd; the old-with-more-money-than-they-know-what-to-do-with-it-but-it-sure-as-hell-isn't-going-to-some-stupid-charity-for-brown-people crowd. A little harsh? Yeah, a little harsh. read more

Agree with the other yelpers. This is the best bookstore on the planet. Staff is excellent, selection is good, and the prices are reasonable. I've shopped here for many years, it's typically my go-to choice for last-minute gifts. They gift wrap during the holidays, so helpful!! read more

Tried to attend the Bobby Orr book signing today. As a first time visitor, I was extremely disappointed with the lack of planning. There were hundreds of people there, no organization, and.....they were sold out of books before the event started! We won't be back. I'd rather give Barnes and Noble my business after this fiasco. read more

This is a great independent bookstore that really offers a lot to its customers. I love the used book section located on the 2nd floor of the children's building. They will give you store credit for bringing in your used books and you can use that credit in either the bargain section or the main store. The used section has an incredibly large section of fiction books, even very current releases, and most trade paperbacks are $5. The employees are extremely helpful here and based on the time that I have spent in the store, you can tell that the store has a very loyal fan base in the area. Don't even waste your time at Books a Million. read more

Great bookstore, excellent children's selection..the staff is very helpful and gracious.

This is an excellent bookstore! Staff is friendly- they have a great selection of books, toys and children's items! If they don't carry the book you need, they'll order it for you. It really is just a lovely and charming place. Highly recommend. Support local businesses! read more

Yesterday was my first time visiting... I had heard about this place from a friend. Drove 45 minutes with my toddler to check it out and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The whole upstairs is dedicated to children which was pretty cool. He loved looking and testing out all the toys and books. Won't be able to visit often because of the distance but it's a good place to go when looking to stock up in some new books. read more

Great book store please visit, I was looking for a book by Dorothy e. Miller (orchid island ) a local author Mrs. Miller is a writer serval wonderful books including children and romance books. read more

This is the BEST bookstore! It's no wonder that the big box booksellers can't get a foothold in the Vero Beach area. If the Book Center doesn't have what you are looking for, they will get it for you - pronto! read more

Vero Beach Book Center is definitely the place to go. The shop isn't huge but it's a great size. The staff is so friendly! They host some great local authors. Best of all they're pet friendly! Go see Cynthia and the gang!!! read more

Greatest bookstore that has ever been. Friendliest and most helpful staff. Love love love
