Quail Ridge Books

Support small and local! 💛 This is one of the most popular and oldest independent book stores in the Raleigh area! It opened in the 1980s (in a different location) and has been in North Hills for many years. 📚 This shop has a wide selection including banned books, books by NC authors and a large, lovely children’s section. I love the "blind date with a book idea" and purchased one to try! I also found an interesting book by a Polish author, in the international section. 🌎 This is also a great place to look for unique gifts. 🎁 The staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Cute book store - has an array of genres and books. Bathroom inside. No longer offers coffee. Staff is friendly. Side note, it is a little liberal so be mindful with young children you may see cuss words written in various places and risqué images on covers among other controversial topics.

Staff was wonderful and I loved that staff members had different recommendations for all genres of books! I bought was too many of course and I appreciated the store set up, which made for an easy shopping experience! I also love that they have a selection of blind dates with a book!

A wonderful bookstore with a lot of detail and charm. The staff is super friendly and welcoming! Love this place!

Beautiful local bookstore at North Hills. Seriously, gorggg 😍 and they have a fair amount of seating available for the size of the space without encroaching on browsing area. Lots of free parking close by. The two staff that assisted me were both super friendly and helpful. There seemed to be good camaraderie amongst the employees which does wonders for business energy. I found 3 great books and 2 had a great on sale price! I also saw signage for book related events and was happy to see variety in authors and genres!

This bookshop definitely has an old-school charm and coziness to it. Everything seemed well labelled as well, but they did not have the book we were looking for.

Loved being able to browse around and enjoy a cute little bookshop. The staff were kind and the bathrooms were very clean. I wish there was a bit more of a selection, especially with the non-fiction books, but I understand there is only so much room. Make sure you check out the sale section on the second story!
