I love this little bookstore. One of the few remaining independents in Charlotte. Although the selection is limited (compared with Borders, etc.), the friendly and helpful staff will order and hold any book, and can usually get books in one or two days. Moreover, it's a well-picked selection that seems to always have what I am looking for. I have found that emailing this bookstore and having them hold books works more quickly and is generally easier than using Amazon. Nice browsing selection if you don't know what you want, and the staff can be very helpful with recommendations if you tell them what else you like. The location, in Park Road Shopping Center, near the corner of Park and Woodlawn, is convenient to virtually everywhere in the city.
