The Eclectible Shop

There is only 1 word for this book shop: EPIC! This place is packed to the ceiling with any kind of book you would want, both upstairs and downstairs; but it's not only books you'll find here. There are also records downstairs and antiques scattered throughout. The owner's knowledge of books is expert level. As a matter of fact, I can only think of 1 negative: it can get a little chilly when it's cold outside, especially downstairs, so bring a jacket. But if you are a book-lover, be prepared to stand in awe and revel in the majesty that is the home of the phrase, "Motherload of Books!"

The kind of bookstore that's hard to find! A little bit of everything mixed in with the books. It felt fun and adventurous to poke around in there.

Wonderful filled-to-the-brim used/rare/unusual bookshop. Give yourself time to really browse both floors. I’m so glad we found this gem!

my new favorite used bookstore!!!! definitely have to go back!!!

This was my first time visiting the store.
Frank Frye, the owner, was very congenial and patient as he examined the books that I brought in. He explained some of the positive attributes that the books had and he touched on what other attributes that the books might have had that would have added more value. It was a very educational experience for me and took place in a very casual and relaxed pace, which I enjoyed.

Wonderful, magical place. Wish you guys were open more often!

I love the Eclectible Shop. Frank is always friendly and more than willing to help you find something. I've been going there for years and love the quaint atmosphere. My only suggestion would be to either add more shelving or reorganize somewhat to alleviate the situation with the occasional stacks of books. I'd be willing to help reorganize! I love book stores!

Went on the recommendation of the wife. Astounding. Truly an adventure walking through this shop (both upstairs AND downstairs!) and highly recommended. Great time talking with Frank - a very cordial host. It's like walking through a history museum with books and more. You really should come check this place out. Very much worth your time!

I have not been here in a few months due to Covid-19 but this is my favorite shop to visit for antique post cards and pictures! The owner is so nice and usually offers me a discount! And his little dog Luke is so sweet as well! (Here are some of the post cards and pictures I've found here)

Wonderful selection of literature. I’d have to put forward an intentional effort to head home without at least a few new books under my arm. The proprietor was helpful, friendly, and provided amicable conversation while I browsed. I will certainly be returning again to plumb the depths of The Eclectible Shop.

Oh my gosh. Just visited this place for the first time today. I didn't get in the door good before my lap was full of books. The place is like an attic. Mostly books but also LPs, furniture, artwork, all manner of knick knacks... absolutely delightful shopping experience! We will go back. And back and back and back.

I love this gem! The owner was super nice and inviting. When I’m in North Carolina, I always visit, even if it’s out of my way.

Beautiful little book shop. I was able to find some amazing vintage books as well as vinyl records. The owner is really cool & a joy to converse with.

Love this shop! You could literally browse around all day and still not see everything! Definitely going back soon! One of the best around! :)

Awesome bookstore. Owner has awesome stories.

I love bookstores with floor to ceiling, wall to wall used books, and this shop doesn't disappoint. A huge selection of books, and a curious variety of other finds as well. Don't skip this shop!

Wonderful old store with an enormous collection of books!

We love this little treasure. You never know what you will find in this maze of books.

Really cool place, super unique and lovely owner Frank!

One of my favorite shops. There's no other place like it.
