2 reviews for Book Rack
Independent booksellers need your support! The Book Rack offers you something a big bookstore can't: personalized service, knowledgable staff, and all kinds of new ideas for reading you wouldn't normally find on your own. The Book Rack has a huge children's section, a great selection of really unique cards and postcards, journals, free gift wrapping, and all kinds of other great things.
They have all kinds of events, including character visits for the kids, authors for the adults, and all kinds of community participatory events. The Book Rack sponsors discounts for several local book groups, and are a great resource if you're looking for people to talk with about books. Heck, I've even heard them give recommendations for dining, which movies are out there, and all kinds of services not related to their core mission.
You might not always find the book you want right on their shelves, as it is a small store, but if you order it, it usually comes in within a few days. You could ask on Saturday, and they'd call you back on Tuesday. It's THAT fast.
Carolyn and Beth and Suzie and everyone are excellent at finding the right book for you, for a friend or relative, or whoever. You can't find better service in a bookstore!

Please save this little bookstore.. We are lucky enough in Newburyport to have more than one bookstore, but judging by how the Book Rack has been trending we could have one less. I know a small bookstore will not have the selection of the big stores, but the first thing you see when you walk into the store is a display of bestsellers and staff favorites where a third of them are empty. Why advertise that you don't have the book?
Across town in the Tannery, Jabberwocky is THE bookstore in Newburyport. It's not even a close contest. But I'm rooting for the Book Rack to have a comeback.
