Annie's Book Stop of Worcester — Local services in Worcester

This is an adventure of a store! For anyone who loves being surrounded by books, you will feel right at home. The store is small but creatively laid out to fit as many books as possible. And there are many, many books. There is a nice mix of some new but mostly used books of all genres. I love cozy mysteries and was not disappointed with the selection.

The owner was very kind...

While Annie's is technically a chain, this is essentially a small locally run bookstore spelling new and used books. I saw an excellent selection in the used books and it was very well organized.
