You have to check out Book and News if you really enjoy a comfortable and friendly place in which to browse your favorite books.....and enjoying a cup of coffee as well. I have never walked in this shop without finding a book I had forgotten to pick up through the years.....or one that I realized I had to have a copy. In other words.....never walked out empty handed! Love it. Cant visit Asheville and not go in this bookstore.

Popped in here for a while during a trip to Asheville. Accidentally lost an hour of my day looking through all the shelves. Theres a massive selection of used books at great prices. I even found a 1934 edition of DH Lawrence in amongst some other mass market prints. Awesome!

Seemed to me to be more of a used book store. Which was basically priced 1/2 what the price of the book has on it. They did have all the current local and global newspapers and magazines though. Chairs are spread all around so you can just browse before you buy. VHD

I love the way this shop feels. It has this mixture of cozy nooks, great books for low prices, people who are searching for their next great read. The way this place runs and the local artsy stuff sold here made this place one a definite favorite.

Hidden Gem out in Plain Sight. From outta town and was recommended by a local. Its comfy cozy without causing claustrophobia. Staff is kind and helpful . Not annoyingly fake and syrupy sweet. Love the "Blind Date" books. Great place. Check it out.

One of the few places in Asheville with a large selection of zines and chapbooks, as well as a great selection of independent and international magazines! Staff isnt particularly friendly but the selection of books makes up for it.

Make a point to stop by this shop when I come to Asheville. Free-spirited and welcoming to people. Loved a notice posted prominently about accepting people without judgment. Wonderful, creative, artsy will be at ease.

This is a fantastic local bookstore. Theyve got an incredibly eclectic collection because they buy used books. Ive sold dozens of books to DB&N over the years, and they always give a fair price.

There are LOTS of used bookstores in Asheville. This one has lots packed into a small space along with friendly clerks and many comfortable nooks and crannies to relax and read.

Love asheville, but you wont get to the top treating customers sub par. From one business owner to the next. Update your return policy. The business model has potential.

Royal Allen Wenzel

One of the best local bookstore around! And if you have books to sell, they buy on Fridays and offer the fairest prices in town.

This is a really neat used book store with a lot of variety to choose from. I found an old 1946 edition on the bargain shelf.
