Amazing people, excellent cocoa, and so many books I almost couldn't fit them all in my travel bags

Good coffee, lots of books, dogs and a tiny kitty. Open mic night is fun! They can order books too.

I can only speak from my experience ordering online from the Author Shoppe, but this is a wonderful bookshop, especially for rare finds! There was a bit of a mix-up with my order, but Murph truly went above and beyond in making it right, shipping me a beautiful, even-harder-to-find replacement. I simply can't recommend this bookseller highly enough!

Really neat little book shoppe

Quaint and comfortable local bookstore. Staff were really friendly, even recommending various places around town to take the kids. Great place to buy a book, find a place to sit and read with a cup of coffee.

This is the cutest bookstore with the most helpful people. Our car broke down, and we stopped in here with the kids while we were trying to figure out what was happening with the car. One of the owners helped us with the car while someone else was inside helping my kids find books to read. I think we ended up getting 15ish books between me and my friend. The shop was very cozy, and we were able to sit and read while we waited. The owners were able to quickly identify genres and books with other customers in order to help them quickly find the books they were looking for. I am so thankful that we stumbled upon this shop. I definitely recommend it!

Coffee, books, a taste of home, what more could you want? Love Open Mic Night where writers, singers, comedians, and more talented folks can take the stage to share their craft with a captive audience

Visiting Hattiesburg and found this charming downtown bookshop. Had an easy going vibe. The selection is eclectic, with plenty of popular fiction titles too. We found several books we just couldn’t leave behind ?Definitely worth a visit, you will find something you didn’t know you needed!

Cool local book store with a cool vibe. The business owner was really helpful and great to chat with. I was able to find this gem and my wife found a hard to find book she has been searching for. Go buy some books!
