Prince Books

"Hands down the best independent bookstore anywhere in this region. A great staff that goes the extra mile to help you find what you're looking for, and the store has something for everyone - including a great environment to shop, browse, and read. Sara, the owner, has worked tirelessly over the years to make this book store the best. At a time when many independents are falling by the wayside, she has had the wisdom and insight to keep Prince Books going strong. EVERYBODY loves Prince Books!"

"Very cute and quaint local bookstore with a small cafe inside. I was obsessed with their collection of classic books in small pocket book size. They also had quite a collection of cute cards and other related stationary items, as well as the usual gamut of books you'd expect to find in a bookstore. Perfect place to pop in if you're touring downtown."

"Great local bookstore! Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing selection. And a cute cafe attached. It’s near seldom market, slover library, and many other attractions."

"Quaint and cozy! What an absolute treasure of a find with this book nook and eatery combination. This place is just what I needed and the food was flavorful and fresh! Definitely bringing my daughter here so she can capture this experience and read a good book with me! Highly recommend"

"Margaret (I think she is the owner) was kind, friendly and welcoming! She also was wearing the most fabulous dress made of book fabric. It was iconic and fantastic! Prince Books had a nice selection of best sellers, fiction and non-fiction as well as a cute little children's book corner. I appreciated the fact that they had beautiful editions of classics and other pretty books. In addition, they had a whole section dedicated to ocean/sea life as well as local history to Norfolk and Virginia. During our visit, there were quite a few people that came in the shop which was fun to see. You can tell it's a local bookstore for many frequent visitors who want to support small business."
