  Everything a bookstore should be. They make you feel welcome. Excellent array of books and gift items. Coffee and pastry available. It is a feel good destination.

  This was a fun experience, and not one I was intending on running into.
  It's a book store, it has snacks and you can also have wine, which is awesome when you're having a luncheon with your book club (which is exactly what was happening when I got there).
  Not only did they have the typical new best sellers, they also had classic books, books out of print and quite a number of collectible out of prints as well!
  When I'm back in the state I plan on returning and enjoying the atmosphere.

  Book cost the same as barns and nobles but they have a wide selection of fun gifts and stationary. I always want to spend an hour in there at least. They always have authors coming though. Also during this hoilday they where offering free gift wrap and I think that is the cutest.

  One of the best bookstores you can visit. Good selection of best sellers, unknown treasures and regional writers. Staff is very helpful and the atmosphere is very laid back and cozy. Buy something to read and then grab a coffee from the coffee bar and relax.

  Gotta love the none corporate look and feel of this place, it has a nice charm to it. There’s also a café if you want to sip on something while reading a nice book!

  A sophisticated aura, with literary references on the menu. This was a very cool place, indeed. Delicious and happening, I want to go back!!

  Came here to try the Blind Date shelf - wasn't disappointed! Lots of good selections/sections including a large children's section. Didn't think the books were overpriced - priced what the book itself was priced, not above. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area.

  This place is great. It has lots of staff recommendations, and a Blind Date shelf where you pick a hidden book based on keywords that appeal to you. I bought one and it fit my tastes perfectly. They do a really good job with these (They also said I could bring it back if I already had a copy or really didn't like it).

  One of The best bookstores I've been to. With so many written staff picks, autographed books, selection of read-worthy stuff, and knowledgeable staff, passion for books just oozes out and the real bookstore experience is still alive in America. Thank you Malaprops! And we all need to support more local businesses!

  Nice atmosphere for book lovers. The coffee was old...which blew a five star. My litmus test is a good chess book sellection. They passes!

  This bookstore is everything you wish bookstores still were. Malaprops has a fantastic selection (kids too), staff who love books, visiting authors, book signings, coffee and it's right in the heart of Asheville downtown. Always a good New and Notable selection, interesting staff pics, and their "blind date with a book" thing is fun- staff selections are covered in brown paper with some descriptive words on the outside. You buy the book without knowing what book it is you're buying. A model for what a modern bookstore can still be.

  I love this local bookstore! From the well-curated selection of books and extensive calendar of author readings, to the Staff Picks and Banned Books sections, this is a bookstore by readers for readers. This is clearly a bookstore on a mission! Also, they have delicious chai in their cafe.
