Reviews
"Absolutely love this place!! It has such charm and so many unique decorations throughout the whole store! I love the vibe and the staff is very friendly! The used book section is huge and priced fairly! I can definitely see myself being a frequent customer!!"
"I was visiting my daughter and needed a gift for a youngster and found an amazing bookstore! The children’s section was extensive and had a vast array of subjects. After finding the perfect book for my nephew, I only had a few moments to scout out the rest of bookstore- great toys, gifts, lots of books both new and used, and a coffee shop! Must return with more time to spend in this wonderful shop!"
"Givens is a wonderful example of locally owned non-chain business. They are well stocked and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It is a fun place to go, any time of the year whether you’re seven or seventy."
"I drive to Lynchburg once a week. I enjoy looking for new coffee & sandwich shops before I head home. This time I looked for Corduroy. I was expecting to have an amazing sandwich and a coffee and get going. However, the coffee shop is surrounded by an amazing bookstore. I look forward to checking it more when I can."
"I am here just because I could not find my way back home, I stopped to google and showed a bookstore nearby! Thanks for all the googlers gave the remarks that could help others understand a new place! So I want to do more. It’s amazing place, every city should have its bookstore, cafeteria and museum. Here is that bookstore! You don’t need be here in hurry because your book will happen be there without your expectations, I found two which I had never thought I could meet them. So why not just come here and have a cup of coffee and go around to meet them? By the way, the coffee also deserves one to stop and sit. Have a nice day if you come here by chance, like me!"
