So excited for our Guest Booksellers - including these amazing local authors. Thank you to our friends @rachelmcrady @megmedinabooks @christinashawnbooks @kriscoronadowrites and Tony Gentry.

Some of the books requested by our Guest Booksellers for Independent Bookstore Day - April 25. We have authors, community leaders, bookstagrammers, and other bookish friends coming to help us. And WOW did they choose some amazing books to share!

ONE WEEK TO GO! We can't wait to see everyone on Saturday, April 25, for Independent Bookstore Day and the kick-off to the Greater RVA Indie Bookstore Tour. Please share this widely with your fellow Richmond-area book lovers. And stay tuned to see who is going to be hanging out in the shop that day!

Join us on Saturday at 1:00!

Such a great night - David Poole was in the shop to talk about his book Trusted Source and our State Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg came by to lend his insights. Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting local independent bookstores!

Just an update that we will be closing at 5:30 today. Hope everyone stays safe & dry!

We're OPEN Tuesday, 12/9/25! Chris did his best Yukon Cornelius cosplay to get to the store this morning! If you're feeling a little stir crazy, drop by the store, say hey, and maybe treat yourself to a new book as a reward for dealing with snow and school closures in DECEMBER!

We are closing at 2 pm today because of the weather. We hope everyone is already at home curled up with a good book.

We didn't get enough snow to play in, but it was enough to close schools! Come by & see us to get a new read or take a pass at your holiday shopping!
