Always up-to-date selection of new books, constantly rearranged. Well-stocked with the usual classification, with a healthy dose of signed books. There is an exceptional selection of signed young adult books as well. Helpful staff recommendations are sprinkled throughout. The used books are "curat...

Hard to believe Flyleaf Books has only been around four years because they feel like they've been part of the Chapel Hill community for decades, like a trusty friend you turn to for advice. In their case the advice comes in the form of books for kids, for adults and for cooks (they host a monthly me...

Exceptional independent bookstore that makes its meeting room available to diverse groups for open dialogue. Its calendar features events for a wide range of tastes and interests; I am a member of a group, Culinary Historians of Piedmont NC, that meets there on the third Wednesday of each month. Own...

A premiere, independent book store. They host author events (Lee Smith, Peter Mckuk), and once a month feature poets reading before an enthusiastic audience, followed by an open mic. This is a great place to browse, make friends, and learn. They have a wonderful staff at the counter.

Whoa! Rocking customer service! I bought some cute bags as gifts and mentioned the next daunting task of finding packaging to mail them. The clerk offered to give me some from their back room. Plus blank labels to write the addresses. I can't tell you how much that helps me! With two small kids and ...

There are also book signings and sometimes presentations by the authors. If you are a member of their club, you also get a 10% discount on purcha...

A wonderful bookshop. There are bookmarks in many of the books where customers/employees give their review of the book. There is a large room full of used books, and the side of the workshop space is full of youth books. Several comfy chairs are arranged throughout the store. The employees are frien...

Being a very picky person aggravates even myself sometimes. These guys at Flyleaf Books hit all the right buttons in just the right ways. Greet you with a smile and are very accommodating. The store seems larger than it actually is. But the space is well planned out. A book club that I belong too me...

Flyleaf Books is more than a bookstore, it is a community. Jamie and her staff go the extra mile to serve the public and make it clear that Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, and other giant competitors have nothing on them. They are often right in the right price zone, but in addition, they have staff that...

Dishonest buyer

Dishonest buyer

A staff member bought a few SF books from me including an old copy of The Stars My Destination. They denied the rest of my mass market paperbacks that were of similar quality. When pressed why they picked it out I was told "they just liked that book". I looked it up after I left ...
