Beautywood Books — Local services in North Little Rock

Let me begin by saying that I love used bookstores. Absolutely love. And, I stumbled upon Beautywood because I just happened to be driving in the area and thought - "A Used Bookstore!!! And One that I've Missed!!!" So, I immediately stopped. I walked through the door into this house that's become a bookstore and was simply transported to the little bookstore that was in my hometown, in a small renovated house, from many decades ago. Additionally, the smell of old and used books is one that is so distinctive and brings so many wonderful memories that I just stood in the doorway for a moment and breathed it in.

Then, the books... I found a very wide selection and a significant number of books that made the whole store feel TARDIS-like ("it's bigger on the inside"). And, their pricing policies are wonderfully simple.

And then, to top it off, I bumped into the owners, and was transported again. Owned and operated by one of my former students, the good surprises just never stopped. And, of course, I walked out with a handful of books. In fact, I don't think I've left with less than at least one book any time I've gone. The folks who run the place and their employee are just absolutely tremendous (and, while I will admit to bias, I will not back down on the "absolutely tremendous"). I would name them all, but I'm not sure that's cool on Google Reviews, so you'll just have to go and experience my new favorite little bookstore for yourself.

Also, last note, they do periodic poetry readings and there is a Bookstore Crawl coming up soon, so check them...

Beautywood Books is an awesome bookshop! It's cozy and welcoming and everyone working there is very knowledgeable about books, authors, and current trends, but also about an array of other topics! The bookslingers are also helpful and eager to make your experience a positive one in store or online. And they ship anywhere! This is also a very community centered establishment with events being held there, but also other community events being highlighted throughout various Beautwood Books avenues. You can also catch the bookslingers around at other local events if you keep your eyes peeled! This is all without even mentioning how much I have saved on purchasing my books there rather than other places. Truly an incredible...

Beautywood is such a special place here in Central Arkansas. The owners have cultivated a space that is inclusive, beautiful, and centered around the community's needs. The selection is always excellent and you can tell they put great effort into sourcing the best for their store and customers. The prices truly cannot be beat- I often wonder how it can possibly be sustainable to sell books so cheap! The staff are always friendly and welcoming and you can tell that they get so much joy from sharing books with others. I am so glad they decided to lay their roots here in NLR- we are so lucky...
