A book buddy who knew about this place paid a visit with my wife and I. We have a new fairly local favorite used book spot! Good prices and a large selection, I found three books that were on my booklist. Well be back. The store has been around since 1991, its had a few different owners, the guy that has it now has had it for a year and seems to enjoy it...this is his third or fourth bookstore.

Best bookshop Ive been in in years! Great selection! Friendly Staff, great prices! Love this store!!

Its small but packed with lots of great books. Something for everyone.

Great book selection but service wasnt friendly to match. Older lady was very snarky and rude. Couldnt shop in peace as she hovered over my family for nothing. Definitely not going back. Hope this helps someone.

Nice and clean book shop with books from the top to the bottom of this two story shop. Such a neat place and a knowledgeable and friendly owner. They even have records and comic books.

Very nice store. Very impressed. New and used books and huge selection of vinyl records. Manager is very knowledgeable of everything in her store.

Nice litte store, but very cramped. Made it hard to look through. However, that is partially made up for by very nice staff. I did make an interesting purchase for a good price. I love locally owned used bookstores. Its worth stopping in.

Awesome little bookshop. Friendly staff and a wide selection.

What a fantastic place. I could have spent hours here combing the many many well stocked shelves. When the kids wanted to stop in here I doubted it would have anything beyond what you get at any chain bookstore but man was I wrong. One of the most beautifully curated collections of vintage paperbacks I have ever seen. And a huge selection of local books about Galveston and from local authors. And even a well stocked d&d books section!Wish I could have spent all day here!

Great little bookstore. The science fiction section, in particular, is enormous. The childrens section is a bit lacking, with very few used books. But I will definitely visit again.

The new owner is very nice and the selection and pricing is fantastic. We found some great books here. The Galveston Section is a unique selection about the history of the island and events that have happened over the many years. It’s a souvenir idea that’s way more interesting than a trinket off the Strand.

GREAT bookshop with any genre you could think of. Friendly staff and wonderful mood

Love this place! Lots of Galveston books along with others used and new - lots to choose from.Come here every time Im in Galveston!

This place is kind of an old throwback to yesteryear, but I like nostalgia. Lots of books and vinyl as well as comics. Just be aware that you probably wont find any high-grade collectables due to condition. I saw a large number of Image books at fantastic prices.

Great place to visit and peruse when in Galveston. There selection is quite extensive, and you never know what youll find!

Great place, I have been going here for years! They have both new and used books. This is also one of the few places I know of that sells records. The only thing I am sad about is that the owners retired and took their cat home. I missed seeing that cat hanging around while I was shopping.

Awesome book store, and employee to help locate books!

So neat, clean and organized. And so many books!!

We found the coolest books from 1916. The clerk was very kind and helpful. Definitely added to our regular stops while in Galveston!

Loved it! They have a big selection of both hard and paperbacks along with records!

Wonderful experience ! Such a precious spot —glad to see it has endured all these years

I love this quaint, comforting book store! They have a great selection of older books, along with new releases. The store is well-kept, and the staff are great to talk to. If youre looking to support a local bookstore, these guys are phenomenal 👍😉

Great shop. Kimberly loves books and is very friendly and helpful.

Great selection and very knowledgeable staff!

Alot of the books were in poor condition and the books in good condition were so expensive. Terrible record&comic book collection. And the oler woman and the man working there are descriminatory on clothing (i was wearing a pride shirt and they kicked me out because theyre a family friendly store)

If you love books, you will love this shop. They have books old and new. They buy, sell, and trade here. The owner is a very nice guy to chat with as well.

Big selection. Been there 6 times owner never there.

Very nice bookstore and amazing variety.

A quaint place with an old time charm. You walk in and the smell of books hits you. At this point you cant help browse the shelves looking at all the different books and genres they have. This was a neat little book store tucked away in old town Galveston. You can almost miss the entry if you arent paying attention. Also parking may be a little odd to get right in front of the store so may have to find some parking. Its sort of a tight fit, but they have a surprisingly great selection and assortment of books. They have great prices for the books that they have, and honestly I was very surprised by that. Much of which was cheaper from what I saw than Half Price Books. The lady at the counter was very helpful and kind as she chatted me up as I checked out with my book purchase. Its a place I will visit every time I am in town visiting the beach in Galveston. I highly recommend you come and check them out and support some local small business. Cant wait to see what new books they have in stock on my next visit.

Good store, wish it had a bathroom. Good prices and nice staff.

Awesome place to come browse used books. Owner knows a lot about Galveston history.

Amazing place! Great books, such a variety! 11/10 :) The woman at the counter was so helpful and friendly!

Cute little bookstore that sells a variety of used and new books.

Great little bookstore next to The Strand that is full to bursting with books of every type of book you could want. Sometimes they have book signing from local authors.Also, the bookstore cat is friendly!

Love this place. It is crowded with books for every intrest

I went there with my family while back. And I bought so many books! The cat was awesome the service was friendly everything was 100% yes. I still have the bookmark that they giving me it’s must’ve been like A year or two since I was there. It was the best

Very nice little shop. Friendly staff and cold AC. Would visit again.

Amazing selection of Galveston books! Friendly and accommodating staff.

A great collection of niche books at a great price. Found exactly what I needed. Owners are knowledgable as well. All around great experience!

They have a lot of older stuff that you just wont find in a regular book stores these days.

Fantastic little book store, with a nice vinyl collection to boot.

Very good selection.

Adorable shop. The owner had great recommendations and she was incredibly warm, friendly, and knowledgeable!

I love this bookstore. It is very eclectic and filled with jems through out the selves. Just make sure you give yourself enough time to really look around.

Always enjoyable. Both used and new books, staffed by people who are passionate about both books and local history and the authors who bring both together.

A building full of treasures. I never leave disappointed.

Bad book shop i suggest going to any other shop

Awesome little shop, great layout

Fabulous bookstore, staff knowledgable with recommendations!

Nice place on the strand. Great selection of books. Fairly large selection of vinyl albums. Friendly, helpful staff.

Excellent technical and customer service by the charming Kimberley

Friendly people with a great selection of books

Great little bookstore. Lots of fun if you love books like I do.

Love old bookstores. Lots of character.

Nice selection of vinyl. Great customer service.

Loved it! Fun, well organized, great AC!!!! Amazing selection of all kind of books. They will order new books for you, which I didnt know!!

Great local place to buy books

Charming Used Bookstore!

The lady follows you around. She was nice for the most part but also kind of just ehhh.... made it awkward.

They have lots of books and very friendly and knowledgeable staff

Nice old books. Some vinyls and cds. Liked the fact that they had seats in there incase you wanted to preview a book

I love to browse this shop. There are new and old books. I never fail to find something that interests me or one of my loved ones. Staff is always friendly and shop is clean, neat and well organized. Selection of thousands of books.

I found a book here that I kept looking for and could not get. It even came with a token from FIU.

Staff friendly and very helpful. Practiced safety. Staff helped me find what I needed. Will recommend to others!

Great place to visit for those who love to read . Also has a great selection on books on Galvestons historyStaff is amazing.

Great variety and customer service

Good selection and low prices 💜💜

Always a nice place to visit and look at some really cool treasures. Might even find a gem of a book, CD, record, etc. We always come here every trip we take to Galveston. A must visit.

It was cool

Theres a cat so I give it five stars immediately. This place has everything you could want in a small used bookstore. Sadly there werent any Ray Bradbury books which is what I was looking for. I did walk away with a great Doctor Zhivago edition that had a nice dust cover for a great price.

Good old fashioned Book Store! Shop owner at the counter (possibly reading The Never Ending Story) was welcoming and friendly.

Awesome selection, prices, and staff. one of the best hidden gems of galveston.

If you like books, and saving money, and welcoming cats, this is the place. Though it might end up being dangerous for your wallet, as you might want to buy them all, from science fiction to art books to comics. I strongly recommend going there by foot, and not bringing any trolley, luggage, or other rolling device of some sort that would allow you to take more than your arms can carry ;)

Great place for books!

The owner is precious. Her cat is charming. I love the book I bought. Youll find treasures here and youll want to come back. A fantastic repeat-stop to make each vacation here.

Every time were in Galveston we make a point to visit. There are so many books from various writers, and the layout is interesting and I can spend a lot of time just looking at everything. Plus, theres an adorable tabby cat that hangs out inside the shop.

Very creative setup in a historic setting excellent for wandering aisles there are chairs and nooks for reading scattered around.excellent selection reasonably priced new and used books. Friendly and knowledgeable service and best of all there is a store cat

I like that this shop isnt cluttered and everything has its place to find a certain book. The prices are very reasonable. I was able to find my little sister favorite book pretty fast.

Very quaint bookstore with vinyls and cds as well.

This place was very neat to visit and had a ton of old vinyl Ive never seen before! Plus they had a nice kids reading area to entertain my munchkins while I browsed.

Odd place that may have unique finds. Definitely worth a stop by...

Awesome store

Nice little spot to browse. Found some off the wall comics. Good spot to shop when visiting Galveston

Great people own this shop. Buy sell and trade. Great deals no matter how you go!!!!!

This store is wonderful. There are books for anyone in here of all different topics and they arent expensive either!

If youre looking for a book to read, they have a very large selection of new and used books. The staff are very polite and helpful.

Ladies here are very helpful. The store has a bit of everything. A galveston jewel.

This bookstore is a wonderful little Hidden Gem! Located a block and a half away from the Strand, they are loaded with a great selection of books. They have a really good selection of more rare science fiction books that I have found in a while. I found they have collections of writers that I have not seen at other bookstores. If you like independent comics from the 90s and early 2000s, they have one of the best selections Ive ever found. There is a huge selection of Image Comics. Note: comic book collection is a little on the unsorted side - definitely been gone through. I found some real gems yesterday I missed out on a couple decades ago

Books!! What makes this place better is its an independent book store that has weathered the test of time! I love these homey shops with books and their resident cat! Very clean and organized! The area they are located in can be congested and working difficult to find at peak times....but...it is worth it!!!

I love genealogy and collecting year books. I own some of the year books they were selling already. But I was very agitated at some of the prices they had listed on the year books. One 2009 year book (new condition)for roughly $45.00 bucks. One 1989 year book (BAD condition coming apart)for over $60.00. I have the same books.In my collection already I brought them brand new. From the High School. Both for $25.00 each. The older lady at the front desk. Got upset when I started taking photos of the books. The woman did hold a conversation with me. But I really did not feel welcome at all.

Just a great little bookstore!

If you are allergic to cats, dont go! They have a cat in there basically at all times. Other than that though, the place is really cute and has an amazing selection. I recommend going whenever you can!

Love this place! Good books and friendly, helpful staff!

They had a plethora of good used books. Really neat shop and good people. Books are shelved by categories. I was looking for boos on sailboating and found a number of books. Had to choose which ones to purchase. Bought 5 for under $30. A very good place to buy used books.

I love going into the bookstore every time I visit the island. Especially like the sale item shelves, no telling what you might find there. Every time I go, I love to get lost among the overflowing shelves of used books and see what might have been added since the last visit. The staff has a friendly island-time attitude, yet is knowledgable and helpful. If youre looking for books on Galveston history or architecture, they maintain a nice selection, some of which are autographed by the author. Every few weeks, the bookstore hosts book signings where you can purchase an autographed copy and chat with the author.

Clean shop. Well organized. Staff is friendly. Cute cat hangs out and will let you scratch its tummy. SF section is large and upstairs.

We were looking for kids books and the selection was small and the prices seemed high for the shape the books were in.

The staff is very nice, they have a good collection of books about the island. They have loads of fiction, some non-fiction and some hard-to-find books. Good place for book-lovers to spend time.

Nice place crammed with books and some comics. Really only went for comics. The boxes were labeled by publisher but I found a lot of Image and some DC mixed in the Marvel box. Lots of nice comics, not the common issues I see floating around other places. Pleased to see a lot of Ghost Rider and Morbius. Comics were all $2 which is overpriced for some issues.Also there is a cat who doesnt care about you.

Wow. I am very impressed by their collection if used books and comic books. Their assortment of sewing and needlework books, which is what I was hunting, was weak, however, but I found a couple other treasures as a consolation prize. The section of really really old books is really impressive.
