Reviews
"The cutest little book store with the best selection! I always find something new to add to my TBR when I'm here....and always find something to buy as well. Thankful to have such a great shop to shop local at!"
"Great place ; I buy books whenever I visit the store. Great recommendations, too , such as The Unseen by Roy Jacobsen. A lovely little place of wonder that also orders books that other stores might not. Thank you, Downbound Books!"
"This is my favorite bookstore in the city. It's smaller than most but it's so well curated. This ends up being a better experience, less time browsing endless shelves and instead immediately finding so many good books. The staff is super helpful and friendly as well. I asked the guy working there if he had any recommendations of a more specific genre and he immediately was able to pick out a whole stack of options for me. I can highly recommend this place, and I can't wait to go back whenever I finish getting through my current stack of reading!"
"I finally got to take my young boys to use their gift cards at this phenomenal neighborhood bookstore since they've opened back up for in-person browsing. My oldest (10) was really taking his time going through their small, but very carefully curated children's section. Sarah, who is amazing (!!), came over and asked him a few questions about his recent reads and favorites, and then appeared with an armful of additional books for him to peruse. So thoughtful and knowledgeable. Love it!! He chose three of her recommendations and is currently enjoying them. Highly recommend!"
