Reviews
"Was a wonderful place to take my son to get a book for his bd. It was a good size without being overwhelming. Staff was wonderful and kind. Having Clearance books was a nice surprise as well!!"
"I'm not one to take time to do online reviews, but I had to say something about Friendly City Books and their podcast. While I'm not primarily writing about the bookstore in this review, I will say that the staff and mission at Friendly City Books is so customer-centered, that I now buy all my books from there, virtually and online, because I live an hour and a half away. I buy everything else online, so why not my books as well. But one of the real strengths of Friendly City Books is the podcast, where reviews by Emily and Rachel have prompted me to pick up and read books that I would never have considered before. They both are so knowledgeable, so articulate in their descriptions, and so passionate about their specialties that you cannot help but get drawn into a title or a genre that is being discussed on the podcast. I don't know who originally had the idea to talk books on a podcast, but that idea is marketing genius. I will go broke listening and buying those podcast features! You guys are awesome. Keep up the great work!"
"I absolutely love this bookstore. It’s arranged so perfectly and had a Childress section etc. The owner was very nice and helpful. I miss small stores like this that give you a warm and inviting feeling. If in Columbus you must visit and make a purchase. There is a large variety of books and what I also love is there are books specifically about and for African Americans."
"Such a cute bookstore with an awesome selection. I loved the section for Mississippi authors. Staff was really friendly and they had a nice selection of gifts and souvenirs as well."
