    This is a great little used bookshop, that includes several vintage items as well. We stopped in on vacation, and I wish we would have had a bit more time to explore as there was so much to look through. If you love books or memorabilia, definitely stop in if you're in the area.

    Who doesn't love a bookshop full of shelves and shelves of volumes of book on every subject under the sun! This small bookstore in the heart of Yorktown's river walk will draw you in and keep your interest as you scour the novels, tomes, reference titles, classics, poetry books, history/Civil War collections and many other publications! I especially love the kids corner! We spent over an hour in here! The prices are somewhat higher than many other "new and used" bookstores because of the tourist traffic, so be prepared to spend a pretty copper! You will not only be mesmerized by the sheer amount of books crammed into every nook and cranny of this space, but it's also filled with memorabilia, collectibles, antiques, games, toys, and décor! The owner knows his stuff and is a fountain of information, but he's a bit gruff, so don't take his comments too personal. He's surrounded by piles of old, used, dusty books and maybe the dust is getting to him too! Nevertheless, if you don't mind the "organized chaos" of this cool shop, I doubt you'll leave empty handed!

    This is such a lovely used bookshop, and it's right in the heart of Yorktown's Riverwalk Landing. It's not huge, so it's easy to navigate. I zeroed in on the general fiction section, in search of a book or two since I was almost done the one I brought with me for my little road trip. It didn't take me long to grab two, but when I brought them to the register to pay, the incredibly friendly man working suggested I grab a couple more, as they were offering a buy 3, get one free promotion that day! I'm so glad he let me know! I easily grabbed two more and only paid $22 for all four! At $5.50 per book, I couldn't ask for a better price. Also, probably a helpful tip for tourists like me: Make a right out of the bookshop and you'll easily find the area's clean public restrooms a few steps away!

    I went here yesterday! I wanted to make sure I left a review only because my family & I were so so endeared by the lady who worked there (her name was Stephanie if I remember correctly?). She was super sweet, super helpful, and offered up tons of information to help guide my sister & I through the store and find what we were looking for. I hope I get to come back one day and with way more time to spend browsing through the store, but I walked out with so much treasure for a first time. This store is a gold mine!!!!!

    Great little spot, classic books original printings gone with the wind etc. Magazines from 50's thru the 70's, as antique typewriters and so on, check it out.
