been going there since 1977. best book selection anywhere !!!!! You can almost find anything in Fiction or non fiction that you may want in older and newer books . Records and CD's also !

Unacceptably Rude!! One of the “managers” spoke to a paying customer who was just trying to carry on a conversation… rudely shut him down- embarrassing and uncalled for! I am still upset and so disappointed in this type of behavior- will definitely never give them my business again.

I’ve been going here for years and until now would rate it as 5 stars. There used to be knowledgeable and kind older folks who worked here. Now the people working here remind me of a cut scene from High Fidelity. Except these pretentious pseudo nerds are gatekeepers to books…books. Go to dogeared books for the old school comforting used bookstore experience we all crave. And avoid this, whatever rejected high school club the people working here represent?

Unacceptable customer service from young gentleman and also young lady working there. I've shopped there since the 90's when I got my Master's at NCSU. So I made the long drive to Raleigh on a cold winter's Saturday. I hadn't been in the shop in quite a while and was looking forward to browsing for a good read. I follow CDC guidelines and respect the safety of others. When I walked into the store I was already wearing my medical grade mask. Cold air immediately steamed my glasses. The air WILL pass up and out of this grade of mask! So to be considerate and to protect others by assuring appropriate social distancing, I stayed at the door to wait for my glasses to warm up. No one was anywhere near me. I didn't drop my mask, but I did try to adjust the mask at the nose because my breath was escaping and causing my glasses to fog. WOW what a MAJOR mistake! I have NEVER been YELLED at (in a clear attempt at public shaming) like this in my life. I was speechless and mortified with shock. Immediately the young gentleman moves aggressively within 2 feet of me and escalates even louder with... Do I look like I'm KIDDING to you? I walked out without a word. SHAME on the OWNER for allowing employees to consistently (see other reviews) behave this way. Did the shoppers who observed this behavior somehow feel safer once I was gone? Did they say Thank you for protecting us when they checked out? Did they leave there and then go buy take out food (not knowing whether the workers were fastidious about their masks during food preparation)??? At least everyone can rest easy knowing no one has breathed through the gaps in their medical grade mask onto any of those used books..... Here's a thought: Require N95 masks in your business if you seriously think what I did was in any way unsafe! SHAME SHAME SHAME Please don't support a business that treats people this way.

Good experience i got this service and love it. I have heared that there are many diferant types of service.
