“Was in town for work, popped in for a book signing! The shop workers were super sweet and helpful. The author was wonderful. Quait, cute place with great options. I bought the Authors book, a professional book, a historical author classic and had wine and cheesecake. Loved every minute of my visit!”

“I love this African bookstore. I took a healer there and she admitted that it’s very active in there. It always smells so good, the African fabric is very good quality. It’s so easy to get lost in this tiny store especially if you don’t know what you came for. Books, posters, tarot cards and BLACK KIDS BOOKS upstairs along with a friendly black cat that just wants some loving. And all of the essentials, jewelry, spell candles, incense, sage, crystals, soap, butter, African hair products, singing bowls and ritual equipment. Trust me you want to go to this store.”
“Really amazing little gem in downtown Baltimore! Loved the huge selection of books and vinyl, and the fun, eclectic decor throughout the shop. I could easily spend hours in here. Support your local bookstores yall!”
“There aren’t enough words to describe Charm City Books. They are extended chosen family to me. Always so friendly and warm and welcoming and ready to share their experiences with me. The books and puzzles are always fabulous and what they don’t have they will get for you. Shop small business!”
“Bravo, and WOW is all I can say. This business is a great representation of what small business can be and do. The variety of book selection will keep ANY avid reader busy with every shelf of books. I am utterly impressed with the curation of the space that has so much unequivocal character and above all "CHARM" that downtown Baltimore thrives in cultivating.The woman that owns it has a true passion for book curation. She is truly a gem in a sea of explorative readers. Books like physics dictionaries, to the more urban Iceberg slim titles will keep any person, big or small thoroughly entertained.Please patron this business; the books are so reasonably priced. It would be foolish not to stop by and AT LEAST pick up a souvenir like an Edgar Allan Poe inspired postcard or children's books for you teachers out there. If not monetary, just conversation with the owner is always a treat; she will keep you thoroughly entertained.I hope people that see this review know that I have stake in this city as lifelong resident. This place is a WIN/WIN for all that call themselves true Baltimorean "Charmers" as this business has done to my heart. Best small book store I have ever experienced. Stop in, you won't be disappointed.”
“Excellent online ordering experience, both for books that were already available in store and for special orders. I was told that special orders typically come within a week. Competitive pricing, good communication, and friendly service. They even had a complimentary DIY gift wrap station set up in the store when I picked up my order the week before Christmas.”
“Peace and Love to the World ?....... this institution is phenomenal ?. I was able to receive any and every book I wanted while I served a ten (10) year prison sentence. And their timing was on time every time.”
“The gentleman that is in there working all the time is so awesome and amazing. I love the atmosphere, They also has a wide selection for you to choose from. I am loving One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. And the two vinyl records.”
“Excellent customer service. They went out of their way to help me with a DIY compass repair. I can't recommend them highly enough, and I'll be getting all my navigation supplies from them in the future.”
“Just an awesome little, but packed, mostly used book, record, cassette, cd store with very reasonable price points. A favorite stop whenever I'm in Baltimore”
“I love Urban Reads,. They offer a great variety, and the owner is an Amazing Black woman. She's such an asset to the community and our youth. You should definitely check this establishment out!”
“Pleasant quaint place. Love the homely feel and the myriad of titles they hold. It might feel cramped because of the limited space and the amount of books and items there are. They also sell CDs. I was delighted to see how vast and diverse their history section is compared to other booksellers.”
“Really nice bookstore for believers of Jesus Christ. Has a lot of books, trinkets, jewelry, keychains, Bibles, and so much more to help those on their believer journey or show love to a fellow follower of God. Staff is always nice and helpful if you have a question about an item in stock. Always leave with something I can use to better my spiritual growth. Highly recommended for all believers.”
“The mission: "To put unwanted books into the hands of those who want them." I adore The Book Thing. I have been a loyal monthly patron and will continue to do so. The books are absolutely free, no strings attached, FREE! And to top it off, you can take as much as you can carry out. I love exploring different genres and with my vast interests, purchasing books can be expensive not to mention terrible for the environment. I will always search the shelves at The Book Thing or go to a secondhand bookstore before purchasing newly printed books (if you can't get to The Book Thing take a look at ThriftBooks.com). The Book Thing is NOT OPEN DAILY. It is a monthly event that typically falls on the second full weekend of the month, and it alternates between Saturday and Sunday. They announce the exact dates on their website and Facebook page. If you are interested in donating books, please take the time to check their website for the exact days that you can drop off. Book donation hours are 9am-2pm on the designated days. The donation limit is 6 boxes per family. Boxes must be small enough that one person can lift them when full. They accept all types of books except encyclopedia sets. All donations are tax-deductible. We can provide a donation receipt on request reflecting the number of books donated. We also issue receipts for financial donations. Please do not leave books or boxes outside of their donation hours, you may be cited by the City for illegal dumping!”
“Has a Starbucks inside. It also has Legos, games, and toys, along with books and magazines of all genres and for all ages. Great selection of books, pretty well sorted in the store too.”
“This was my first visit to this wonderful book store, which has a far more extensive selection of pristine, leather-bound books than I’ve seen in most used bookstores – and at reasonable prices. I bought two books, which accentuate my décor considerably.”
“Independent book store. Lots of unusual things so you can always find something different. Everything that is used is in good condition, but they also have lots of new things.In the old Marley Station Mall.”
“In the area for only a few days. Not a lot of options! Especially on a Monday. Found this place on a Tuesday. ? So good! Their burger really is THE BEST. Great vibe. Will be back! ??❤️”

“Called ahead to ask of she had the book I wanted. She confirmed she did and had it waiting for me when I walked in a few minutes later. It was labeled a used book, but I don't think it had ever been opened. So it was cheap, as well. Great experience.”
“I've been coming to the Book Nook for years and was so excited to see how much they've grown after being out of state for 4 years. Hands down the best place for kid's books, but even with all other genres they have a large selection and all fairly priced. They even have a foreign language section that has all kinds of languages in it and range from kid's books to actual textbooks I've used in formal language classes.And you can't say enough about the staff. They're all so sweet and welcoming. I tell everyone I know about the Book Nook!”
“What's not to love about a comic book store that has a bar in the back. It's a divy hipster bar in Hampden. The crowd is a little order and it's cheap drinks and beers with usually a live show. The staff is friendly. I've heard John Waters (creator of Hair Spray) does signings here on occasion! It's a fun spot. They do have regular fiction books as well!”
“I really enjoy going to this bookstore. There is a great variety of books, older and more recent copies. They are a bit expensive, but it is well worth the visit!”

“My book arrived in Canada within 1 week. The packaging was awsome and I was surprised to see 2 additional free books in the package! I will buy more books from islamicbookstore.com in future.”
“I did not realize it was a book a million when I was there. Sign reading bam. Went in there yesterday to look around and found something I wanted right away. While looking I could hear a customer at the register being a bit loud, which caught my attention, and I was waiting to get my item rung up. Listening from my perspective the customer was being quite rude to the employee, and I observed the cashier maintain a calm, professional demeanor the entire time. Doing all they could to help the customer. The nastier the customer seemed to be, the nicer and more friendly the cashier became. I was so surprised I wanted to give the store top notch feed back”
“Coffee House doubles as a book store. Bookish environment inside, nice patio outside. Breakfast and lunch options for pretty much anyone who walks in the door. Standard coffee house offering. Wife gave the chai latte a thumbs up. If you like your coffee as dark roasted as possible (like I do) you won’t find that here but their medium blend was fresh and has a flavor complexity you won’t find at National coffeehouse chains. Friendly staff. Well kept up dining area. Right behind the Study at John Hopkins.”
“amazing selection here and run by an incredibly wonderful fellow. the only bookstore in baltimore where you can haggle with the owner. love ya ned ❤️❤️❤️”

“BAM is a spacious area with a variety of items from pop figures, to books and manga along with other various items. Not too long ago I actually bought a pop figure which is going for much more than I originally bought it for. I really enjoyed this place and the workers are very kind, but don't forget to bring a bag because sometimes they run out (at least that was the case when I went).”
