Beautiful collection of books for book worms of all ages. Personally, I enjoy Art books and I was very fortunate to find a gorgeous detailed book of a beloved tradition of my culture. Most books have a notecard with a hand written description of the book. The librarians take their time answering any questions you may have and the tender care they give each book is evident in each page. This bookstore feels exactly like out of a book. I felt so much joy exploring the collections here. I will definitely be back and recommend to my bookish friends.

A great local shop that I've visited for years. The best rare book collection in Houston and plenty to leave the store with that will have you coming back. There's a real quality within the store, from the folks that run the shop, to the decor, and of course the book selection. Absolutely worth a visit as far as I am concerned!

A bibliophile’s dream. Kind of a random assortment of rare books, but that’s part of the charm. The selection is curated, decently priced, and each book comes with a handwritten description. I had a lovely conversation with the owner, who was friendly and knowledgeable about the selections I bought. I ended up getting a first edition and out of print Sylvia Plath, and I plan on going back for collectible coffee table books soon.

This bookstore is a real hidden gem. The owner is so nice and his colleague was super helpful. I promise it’s not your average bookstore. They have one of a kind books that you didn’t think you needed in your life. So do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a book by supporting a small business 🤍✨

We had a great time perusing the shelves of this charming used bookstore (July 2024). 1/4 Price Books has an impressive collection, which includes a great selection of used classics and autographed editions. The owner is knowledgeable and helpful, too! Great place for a book lover’s treasure hunt!

I recently visited this bookstore looking for a specific genre. Upon asking, I received an unexpected comment from the owner, who rudely dismissed the genre I was looking for. Thankfully, one of the staff members was incredibly polite and went out of his way to help me find the section I was looking for. He provided excellent assistance and made sure I found what I needed.Despite another unpleasant comment from the owner when I went to pay for my books, I have to say the store itself is a lovely place to visit. It's clean, charming, and very well-organized. I loved how each genre and category was clearly marked, and some books had special notes, like signatures from authors, which added a unique touch to the shopping experience.Overall, while the customer service from the owner could improve, I genuinely appreciated the helpful staff and the layout of the store. I would recommend it to those who enjoy a well-curated and neat bookstore, though you may want to brace yourself for some blunt commentary.
