Lovely building, but a shop should be clean and not a hoarders haven for books. There were stacks of books everywhere and falling over in piles. You canโt even look through. I was disappointed. I was expecting something totally different. The lady was nice, but in a town like Oxford, she needs to clean up. 2025 Update: After going to other bookstores, I stand corrected. I actually find it enjoyable looking through the stacks of books. Apologues for the first "inexperienced" review.
Apr 7, 2026 ยท Google ReviewThe store is closed. The owner saw us trying to open the front door and came out and chatted with us. My mystery loving family waited a little too long to make the trip. My thoughts and prayers are with the owner.

Sep 16, 2024 ยท Google ReviewSuper cute small local bookstore. The owner was super kind and helpful in making suggestions when I was trying to find a specific book (found it!). Absolutely loved that it was located in an old bank, the whole feel of the place felt like you were searching for a treasure. Highly recommend!

Mar 8, 2022 ยท Google ReviewPacked store, with a heavy focus on the mystery theme. An absolute ton of mystery novels available, with a smattering in other genres as well. The staff seemed friendly and helpful.
Jun 27, 2021 ยท Google ReviewWonderful local bookstore with current bestsellers, local interest books, mystery novels and a nice selection of staples. The owner, Kathy, is kind and will order any book you need–usually ready for pick-up in just a few days. Feels so nice to buy from my local shop rather than from Amazon.
Apr 4, 2021 ยท Google ReviewSuper cute bookstore and really fun just to get lost in. I felt like I was treasure hunting in this store we walked out with a Poe mug, awesome socks, and gift for my nephew. If I am ever in the area again I will stop to find something I never expected to find.
