*June 18, 2025 Review Update: I gifted myself a copy of this wonderful book to continue learning more about Native Nations. Thank you Flyleaf for shipping it to me and Dr. Kathleen DuVal for signing it. 🫶🏽🙏🏽😊

This was my first time at this lovely bookstore. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation, book signing, and reading with these beautiful and brilliant ladies. Pictured: Host: Barbara, co-authors of the book, Rebecca, Not Becky; Christine Platt and Catherine Wigginton Greene. Not pictured: beautiful and brilliant ladies in the audience with yours truly. I wish both of you a continued amazing tour and success! ❤️🙏🏾😁👏🏾

Oh I don't even know where to start or what to say—this sweet little bookstore is honestly one of my favorite places in Chapel Hill. The staff is the absolute best—so friendly, so knowledgeable, and always ready with the perfect book recommendation (even when you have no idea what you’re looking for). The selection is amazing, with a mix of new and used books, plus tons of quirky little gifts that make it impossible to walk out empty-handed.

But what really makes this place special is how much they care—about books, about people, about the community. They support local schools, give back in so many ways, and have created this warm, welcoming space where everyone—especially the LGBTQ+ community—can feel safe and valued. It’s not just a bookstore; it’s a place that feels like home. If you love books, good people, and good vibes, you will LOVE it here as much as I do!

The best bookstore!!! Incredibly good staff recommendations, wonderful curation, wonderful used book section also, and excellent author events. A warm and cozy space, too. Exactly what a bookshop should be!

A fabulous independent bookstore in Chapel Hill. A book talk was led by local author Sara Dessen about “Not Like Other Girls”, the debut YA novel by Meredith Adamo. It had a standing room only crowd. The staff was well prepared and knowledgeable. It was great day to be surrounded by books, authors and friends.

Pre-Amazon unicorn of a shop. Not a big chain. It is Love for the literary word incarnate. Lovely shop with welcoming and helpful staff. Thoughtful staff reviews of books in all genres. Almost had me buying non-fiction for the first time in decades. Instead I picked out an anthology of short horror stories (thanks TikTok brain). New and previously-loved books. For the love of books, patronize this business!

I love the layout here. In addition to new books, have a used book section and a smaller gifts section. I came in looking for a specific book and the kind worker helped me. They host seminars, lectures, book-signing events, and book clubs. I would love to attend one when my schedule allows me
