    This is my new favorite new bookstore. Nothing will ever beat out the smell and experience of a really fantastic used bookstore, but I love what has been done with McIntyre's. It is just small enough to feel relaxed and intimate,  but the selection is absolutely phenomenal. There is no wasted space here, yet does not feel at all crowded or cramped. Many tables and shelves are denoted as "Staff Picks" with enticing notes about why each book is lauded.

    Great big chairs await you in the adjacent mystery/non-fiction/cooking sections. The staff was VERY helpful while not-obtrusive-(I am a quiet browser and like my space). They host regular weekly events and book signings. I will be driving the 13 miles from Cary for my book shopping. McIntyre's is an experience.

History

Established in 1989

On April 20, 1989, the Fitch family opened the doors to McIntyre's Fine Books, so named in honor of RB Fitch's mother.

The guiding vision was that the bookstore should be a reflection of signifying characteristics of Fearrington. The shop features strong cooking and gardening sections (a reflection of the five star Fearrington House Inn's amenities) as well as strong fiction, mystery, and children's collections. It is as all great bookshops should be: a place to get lost in.
