I love this place, I always visit when I am in the area. I was looking around and the lady there (I sadly forgot her name) asked me if I was looking for anything in particular. I told her everything I had read so far and was trying to find something in the suspense mystery area that didnt involve cops. She suggested the perfect book for me, and I had other people read it. This book shop is full of local authors, and hard to find reads. The people who work there KNOW the books that they sell, and it always sells great due to the coffee and paper of the books. I always tell my friends about it when they want to find a new book to read, but are tired of the hyped up books that recently came out. I hope this place stays open for a very very long time.

Im visiting Dallas for work and try to make a point of going to some fun places when Im in any town. I have a deep love for bookstores, as many do, and this place is possibly the best one Ive ever been to. The selection was entirely foreign to me, which I loved because Im tired of B&N. I got so many books while I was here, and I could have gotten many more. The staff is so nice as well - we chatted and she helped me find a lot of wonderful books. Im so sad I dont live near here - Pittsburgh needs to take a leaf out of Dallas book (ha?).

Very quaint place to pick up some interesting new reads. Lots of books published by smaller publishers you may not have normally heard of are sold here. Most recently picked up a translated version of the book by Yuri Herrera here called "Signs Preceding The End of The World" and it was a good read I cant say Id have found elsewhere. Im sure I could have, but itd have been harder. This place just puts them right in front of you. Will be back.

The perfect bookstore! (for me, at least) I read almost entirely world literature, often in translation, and if not from university presses, its from small presses like Deep Vellum carries. Every time Ive visited them their selection has been excellently varied, and the way they have the store laid out (by publisher) gives customers an easy way to help themselves find more of what they like. Theyll also order books for you!

Love reading? Then come check this place out. They have mini zines in a vending machine. Blind date with a book so you get a description but dont know the title until you buy it. They also have work from local writers and frequently have local artists come in for different events. The staff is also amazing. I love going there.

Deep Vellum is a cool spot in the heart of Deep Ellum that transforms itself from bookstore by day to event space by night. Check it out for the underground culture & the countless literary options available on the shelves

Awesome little independent bookstore in the heart of the hood. Rare finds and spirits are optional, but passion for the Dallas literary community and good vibes are most certainly guaranteed.

Love that deep Ellum has its own bookstore now. Check them out to see what interesting new authors and publishers theyre offering. Love that they advocate for little known works.

Very cool funky little bookshop that serves coffee and wine. Will find many books here that you are not going to find anywhere else.
