Reviews

An independent bookstore in DC just off Connecticut and Nebraska Ave. They have a large selection of fiction and nonfiction books, a great Kids section and plenty of knickknacks and comedic/unique greeting cards. 

I love this bookstore. My family has been shopping here since before I was born.

Been going to this DC institution for over 21 years. Book loving staff, wonderful vibe, you feel your is I crease by 5 percent just by walking among the stacks. The cafe is rustic, offers some good selections, but I need to be in a certain frame of mind to hang out there.

This is a well-run, family friendly independent bookstore that hosts lots of events and has a widely curated selection of books. They do slack a bit on the genre fiction, but have recently begun to do better about stocking fantasy and romance specifically. There is a large children's section on the bottom floor with a separate side for YA. Also on the bottom floor is a cafe area with warm drinks, snacks, sandwiches, wine, beer, and wifi.

I always find an interesting read I wouldn't have come across on Amazon or in a Barnes and Noble. Great children's section, YA section, nonfiction and fiction, sifi - fantasy, and even poetry. What awesome private bookstores used to be 15 years ago. We drive an hour to visit it several times a month. We haven't found anything like it in Maryland yet.

They are holding up a tradition of intellectual curiosity and community when targeting the mass market and razor thin margins have ended their competition. Large local book store which holds near-daily book readings (sometimes two per night). Most of their visiting authors and audience have a solidly liberal bias, but the store itself isn't particularly preachy. I wouldn't go hunting for a copy of The Art of the Deal here.
