My absolute favorite bookstore in the U.S. I now live in Atlanta but still order almost all of my books from this fabulous store. Any time I come to Raleigh, I see my family and then run off to QRB. I value the recommendations that the staff provide; NEVER before have I come across such a well-read and intelligent staff and the selections of books at this store is the best I know of. Long live Quail Ridge Books!!!

A comment from a 30 year customer It has come to my attention the Quail Ridge has gotten a critical review. If that is worthy of note it is only because it is may be a first. For 30 years and from one location to another we have followed Nancy and Jim Olson and their band of merry booksellers faithfully. We did so not out of affection, though great affection we have come to feel, but rather because this is an exceptional store populated with a collection of unexpected books and staffed by very well-read folks whose knowledge... read more

Huh? All I can think is that those 2 negative reviews must have been written either by chain store investors who see their stock quotes falling or by one of the shoplifters who have been asked not to return. What a totally false picture of one of the best stores in the Triangle in ANY category. The sales staff are courteous and usually say, "Let me know if I can help you find something" before leaving browsers alone. And to attack the manager, one of the nicest, most professional women in the world? Unbelievable. Can't help ... read more

wonderful store for book lovers It is wonderful to come upon a business that still earns customers the old-fashioned way. By having a great product (tons of books) arranged neatly and very interestingly, making you find things you did not even know you were looking for! The friendly customer service reps made me glad I went a little out of my way. The personal recommendations on the books arranged everywhere made me aware of new authors.

A Center for Community I wish I could give more than five stars to Quail Ridge Books. It's a fine store, offering splendid service (personalized, especially when you're hunting for something not easy to find) and a very wide selection of books. But it's more than a store; it has become a center for our community, and often builds community through programs that go beyond the expected author visits. Panels and symposiums on important topics of the day feature knowledgeable community leaders. The staff welcomes you each time y... read more

Quail Ridge Books and Music This is one of the finest bookstores in the U.S.. I grew up in bookstores, I've worked in bookstores, but nowhere, ever, have I met such an enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff. There is no question they won't answer, no book they won't knock themselves out helping you find. Nancy and Jim Olson are passionate, brilliant booksellers who care deeply about good reading and music, and they have a fantastic, warm, always welcoming group of colleagues working with them. Everyone who works there is a discri... read more

A Raleigh Landmark Quail Ridge Bookstore is not just a place to buy a book. It is a place to rejuvenate one's spirit among not only books, but among people who care about books and about the people who read them. Whenever I need a little more focus in my life, this is a place where I go. Nancy, Jim, Sarah, Helen, Trish and everyone who works in the store helps provide an atmosphere of finding just the right book for the right time. It is truly a special place in the city of Raleigh.

My Second Home Quail Ridge Books is my home away from home, and the destination for book lovers in the Triangle. I think of the staff as personal friends. Sara, the manager, is the most professional and knowledgeable bookseller I've met. The author events the store hosts have put Raleigh on the literary map. Bestselling authors, ex-presidents and vice-presidents, and writers in every category from cooking to poetry make the trek yearly to Quail Ridge Books. This bookstore is a rare jewel. Raleigh is so lucky to have it.
