The corner of Virginia Avenue and North Highland Avenue found its missing piece with the opening of indie bookstore Virginia Highland Books. The Virginia Highland neighborhood is known for its unique and quirky boutique shops, restaurants, and cafes. The one thing missing was a bookstore, and now they have it.

There’s something special about getting lost in a good book. Page after page, losing track of time when a book is too good to put down. It’s reminiscent of being a kid, and this independently owned bookstore gives you that feeling. When you first walk in there’s a table with staff recommendations and hand written notes attached. You can find the hand crafted notes all throughout the store, which adds a personalized touch as you explore the two-level bookstore.

In addition to the recommendation notes, the top of the shelves are also categorized by the book’s genres, making the shopping experience that much easier and more customized to your liking. Once you make it down the stairs, there’s another level of books to explore and a unique music section with records (new and old) available to purchase.

The best part about going up the stairs is seeing the names of prominent literary authors on each step. There’s so much thought and detail put into every corner of this eclectic bookstore.

The next time you want to pick up a new book, visit Virginia Highland Books and support an independently owned bookstore in your community. There’s also several restaurants, bars, and coffee shops just steps away. Spend an afternoon or evening in Va-Hi and leave with a new book.
