Letters Bookshop

Neat bookstore in downtown Durham selling both new and used books. Most of the books are in the ground floor, but they do have a second floor for some more books and games. The pricing for the used book is fair, not extremely expensive or cheap, but selections can be limited in several categories. The staff members were friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended!.

Such a great bookstore with a huge selection. I love that they offer new and used books, as well as discounts on new fiction. It was all well organized and labeled with some cool tables with interesting topics as well. Love the upstairs area too. So cool!

Artwork was delightfully executed to enhance the artist and provide a high quality calm vibe for a bookstore. It wasn't boring. The staff made witty jokes and banter too. I am happy for their business and using 2 of their sassy coasters too. Definitely recommend to walk in if nearby.

Cute little store with a huge selection and two floors! I happened upon it by accident, but I'm glad I found it. I will definitely hit it up again if I'm in the area!

This is such a great local staple. Great space and selection overall. Also appreciate the great graphic novel section. Thanks Letters!

New favorite bookstore in Durham! Large selection of new and used books. I bought 2 used books that are new releases and hard back for under $10 each and they didn’t look used at all. I will definitely be coming back. They even have an upstairs with a coffee bar opening soon!

Lovely people, great selection--some used, some new. Visiting always makes my day.

Sweet little used and new bookstore. A great selection for the size of this place.

A great selection of books, greeting cards, and board games. They also sell coffee and other beverages.

This is a super cute little shop! I loved all of the small tables with popular books and staff favorites. A lot had little blurbs about why the books were interesting which was a great concept. I don't live in the area but I'll be sure to check it out again when I'm in the area!

Wow! What a gorgeous spot. The upstairs has a beautiful stained glass ceiling. Worth checking out. But most importantly, the books are very reasonably priced and the staff is insanely helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed popping in here to snag a few books as gifts.

Great local bookstore right downtown. Their selection is varied and the second floor has some tabletop games for sale if you're looking for something other than books. The staff is friendly and the handwritten recommendations on some of the books can be a great way to find your next read

Adorable book shop in downtown Durham! Very reasonable prices and a great selection.

one of the coolest book shops i’ve ever been in. don’t miss out on the view upstairs.

Love this bookstore! Lots of new and used books with a great children’s section.

This is a cute, quaint bookshop in the middle of downtown Durham. They have a great selection of new and used books. The used books are always in pristine condition. I appreciate how they do 20% off of hardcovers. All staff is knowledge and friendly. If they don't have something in stock, they can usually order it for you...free pick-up or a small shipping fee, which has been great for gift giving.

I love this bookstore. It's eclectic but also carries popular current titles. It has a big selection of personalized recommendations from their staff. The used book selection is really good. Can't wait for the coffee and wine bar to open.

Very nice bookshop with a great selection of new and used books.

What a wonderful bookshop! Great prices for used books in good condition, and of course new books as well. Also has a great selection of games that we had fun perusing, even buying a couple card games we never heard of before (which ended up being very fun!). The book clubs offered are diverse and accessible, offering both virtual and in person. They seem dedicated to creating a sense of community with their book clubs and within the shop, making me feel excited to get plugged in and be apart of it. They also offer a subscription service called Sidecar, in which you get one new book recommended by the staff and then a “side” book, that is used and based on information you provide about your reading preferences. Love getting two new books a month in the mail, and supporting local vs a big box subscription service while I’m at it. Finally, all of my communication with the staff has been super pleasant helpful, both in person and via email!

Before you go to Amazon Durham go to Letters Bookshop. You get to talk to a human like Land and more importantly support a local business. If they don't have what you want they can get it for you in a couple of days.
