Love independent bookstores and this one doesn't disappoint!! The ambiance is perfect and one of the best book selections I've seen! Which is incredibly impressive considering the condensed space. I'd been searching for a paperback copy of Spring by Ali Smith for the last few months and of course they had it!! Also had the recent Lily King release I'd been hoping to read. Highly highly recommend this shop, it's a must stop if visiting Alexandria!!
My wife and I had a really nice visit to the city yesterday for Valentine’s Day. She decided to visit this store while I waited outside since I wasn’t shopping and the store is limiting customers given the pandemic. After about 15 minutes, several people had left and I decided to step in out of the cold and see how she’s doing. As soon as I walked in, with my mask on and with only three other people in the store, the cashier, without greeting me otherwise, let me know that they had a private showing in 15 minutes. As I was telling her that I was just checking in on my wife, I touched my mask causing her to interrupt me and tell me to keep my mask on. I had no intention of taking my mask off, evidenced by the fact that I cared enough about my own health to walk in with it on. That was enough interaction with her to cause me to just wait outside and decide never to shop there again. I love small businesses but not at the expense of basic care and respect.
I love this store, one of my favorite ones in all of Old Town! It is such a cute, inviting space that will make you want to stay there for hours. They have a great selection and if they don't have it, you can just place a special order. Their online ordering and pick ups work great - they were able to adapt quite quickly to the new norm despite being a relatively new business. They have my full support - shop local!
Old Town Books is everything you could ever want in an indie bookstore; welcoming, well-stocked, and deeply invested in the community here in Alexandria. Their online ordering system is intuitive and easy to use - if they don’t carry it, they’ll find it for you. They have a wonderful selection of newly published books and classics, and their staff recommendations are always changing and always spot on. Five stars, cannot ask for more.
One of the nicest selections of books for all ages. Its not super big but I go there whenever I can because I like their taste in books and recommendations. They're moving soon, hopefully to a bigger place.
