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
Great place for visitors; reason to keep living in Raleigh I frequently bring out-of-town guests to Quail Ridge Books & Music, sometimes just to browse and sometimes to hear some of the world-class authors who give readings nearly every day. I also come to the town-hall meetings about vital issues of the day, such as health care, which gives us a chance to talk with our elected officials and local experts.
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
World Class Bookstore, World Class Staff As the author of 16 published novels, I have signed books and bought books all over the country for the past 18 years. Quail Ridge Books is in a class by itself. The staff's knowledge of books and publishing, their emphasis on community service, and their genuine love of music and the written word is unparalelled. Although I live in Atlanta, whenever I travel to or through Raleigh, QRB is always a must-stop. I only wish Atlanta had a store half as good as QRB.
Quail Ridge rules!! As a recent transplant to the Triangle I just had to express my eternal gratitude for this gem of a bookstore in Raleigh. Run by charming local owners Nancy and Jim Olson, super manager Sarah and a dedicated staff of true readers, Quail Ridge is an oasis of culture, near-nightly and world-class author events, book clubs for every reader's taste, the most beautiful greeting cards I've found anywhere in North Carolina, and amusing book related gifts. Their children's section is a dream, with experts like a ... read more
Seriously Misguided Quail Ridge Books is recognized not only by its customers but by others throughout the United States as one of the finest bookstores in the country. I have been going to this store practically since it opened and have found the staff always to be helpful but certainly not pushy, and the manager, Sarah Goddin, is one of the most accomplished managers an employer could hope to find.
My favorite place In all Raleigh, there is no place I'd rather visit than Quail Ridge Books. I always feel welcome, in person or on the phone. The staff is always unobtrusively obliging, pleasant and immensely informed. And the in-store author and other events are always worthwhile. I just don't know how QRB could be any better. I love it dearly. Ann Berry
I couldn't disagree more with your review! This is the best bookstore I have ever visited and I've visited bookstores all over the world. Sara is one of the best managers - I've worked with her years ago and never once heard her mistreat anyone. I've never experienced anyone stalking me in this store or following me around asking me if I need help.
HORRIBLE The store is full of ignorant and rude people who have their own 'Quail Ridge' club of customers. They need to give up the sad song of being an 'independent store.' Who cares, taht is exactly what the mom and pop hardware stores said when Lowe's blew into town. The store is dark and musty, and exactly why they don't make bookstores like this anymore.
