I love Bookshop on the Ave and have for years! It was one of my favorite things about moving back to Lynchburg, because the used bookstore options in my hometown aren't close to this place! They have three stories of books and each room is a different section, so it's really easy to know where to look for what you're trying to find. They're always really friendly here and I love shopping at the Bookshop!

This little bookshop is so much fun! They have a wide selection of books and the staff are all very friendly. I just wish it was a bit more organized.

In light of writing an actual review, the following is something I emailed to the owner, Walt. It says what I would have to say about Bookshop on the Avenue so figured I would post that instead:

Walt, I really appreciate you, as a local shop owner, taking the time to stay open  when I got there just after closing and taking the time to help me in my quest for the last four Harry Potter books. Your question made sense, "Are you looking for anything in particular?" Staying open for a browser that may not even purchase something would have been super kind but I understand it would not make much sense. Who knows how long they would hold you up after you had been there all day. But if it was something particular you could help them find and maybe get a last minute sale for what would be a win/win. After leaving work I felt I would get lucky and because you were willing to ask me what you did I was able to complete my quest: you had the last four Harry Potter books! I would sincerely rather support a local owner even if it costs a bit more. After leaving your shop I did look the books up used on Amazon to compare and, by the way, purchasing from you saved me about $5 and I didn't have to wait. So I wanted to thank you for giving me your extra few minutes. I know I am not necessarily a "regular" to your store but I have enjoyed visiting there since the mid 90's and there are a lot of books from your place in my house! When I do start to consider buying a book, though, I think about your shop first. Honest! And my parents are upset if they come to town for a visit and don't get to go by. For what it is worth, I sincerely tell people that are from out of Lynchburg or are newly moved here or about you. I can't imagine any book enthusiast not loving your bookstore! I hope things pick up for you and Maggie! Either way, God is knowing and trustworthy. I pray you have a blessed year to come.

This is a great store. The staff is friendly and helpfull. They have a great selection and even though the books are “used” they are like new. If you’re in the Lynchburg area and are a reader or know a reader go to The Bookshop. The video selection is impressive also.

They're always very pleasant and helpful. Today I accidentally stayed past closing and they didn't mention it. I realized it myself and apologized, but he said itbwas no problem. Once, my daughtet lost her precious bear in their store. I called them and they searched in order to find it for me. I recommend them 100%.
