Great selection of new and used books in a great location that employs wonderful bibliophiles! Service has always been proactive and friendly but unnecessary because they make clear where to find what genres. Theyre very socially minded and their shop is beautifully laid out. Im more of a used bookie, but you have to go downstairs to find the bargains and second hand selection, which has been small but appealing. Easily the best independent bookstore in Durham, and they make it easy to support them because they are such a great little shop.

An excellent local bookstore on 9th Street in Durham. Youll find everything from bestsellers, to local authors, to obscure titles. Its easy to spend an entire afternoon browsing their shelves. They regularly host author events and are a big supporter of Durham. Their staff is great. Ive seen them spend about 15 minutes trying to help out a customer find what they were looking for.

I have been going to the regulator since I was very little, they have guest authors often and they are always doing something! They always have the best books and the atmosphere is un-beatable! I love the Regulator and so will anyone who goes there.

Great book store, theyll even order books for you if they dont have it in stock. They always ask me if im part of their book club membership. I always say no and not once has anyone asked if i would like to be or how to become one. :/

Cool spot. Got a copy of The Nation mag there. Cant find it around my town. A lot of different independent mags. Good selection of books in all categories. Shop locally owned.

By far the greatest place on 9th Street. Fantastic childrens section--I could sit in the rocking chair for hours making new fictional friends.

Really cute little shop. Good book selection, and fun events! Also a good place to just hang out. Books are VERY expensive, however.

A rare independent bookshop in this Amazon age. Love the local selections and membership discounts on NY Times bestsellers.

Fun local bookshop with a well-curated selection. Could do with a bit more expansion!
