neighbor books

We drove to McKinney from Fort Worth for the sole purpose of visiting Neighbor Books after seeing an Instagram post. The store is bright and airy and the customer service was great. The books were well organized with plenty of space to sit. I ended up finding a book and they have the best selection of Table Topic cards I’ve ever seen outside of Amazon. Prices were reasonable for a book store. My only reason for giving it a 4 is I felt it was a fairly small selection of books considering how large the space was. Eve thought it didn’t live up to the Instagram hype, we enjoyed our visit and the trip to McKinney.

Super cute and friendly bookstore! Loved that they had a kids area with little tables and chairs. When we went there was an author signing books.

I stopped here during the holiday season and absolutely loved visiting! They had a great selection of books, the store was clean, staff was friendly, and I loved the decor!

Quaint little bookshop in the heart of the original downtown McKinney. The shop is homey with creaky hardwood floors and lots of comfy seating on the 2nd floor. Very friendly employee that greeted me and checked on me. I grabbed an older book from the sale rack, and also bought a brand new 2026 book so, old and new can be found here.

Glad there is a local bookstore now in downtown McKinney. Good selection, friendly owner. Bought some watercolor books off a display that I would've never known about & just enjoyed browsing around.

I’m OBSESSED with this independent bookstore! It’s inside a historic building and feels very cozy. I’ve been here a number of times with friends while exploring Downtown McKinney and most recently went to their Used Book Fair! All paperbacks were $6 and hardcovers $12! My friends and I got a bunch of gently used books for a great price, including author Kristin Hannah, the ACOTAR series, and author Abby Jimenez. Hopefully they do many of those again! Their setups are beautiful and the selections are updated with new and popular choices, but also ones I haven’t heard of before! They have every genre you could think of. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. There’s various reading nooks and lounge areas, great for kids and families to hang out at or for people to sit and read!

We had an excellent experience at neighbor books. It's true that their selection is very small but it's clear that they're going to grow with time and income. What stood out to me and made me very happy was how many indie books they had on the shelves. They had a great mixture of genres and options. If I lived in McKinney, I would be here all the time. We also got to have great conversations with the staff who were all very welcoming and very kind. Happy to see independent bookstores making a comeback.
