Cute bookstore! They have a good selection to pick from. You can bring books in for them to buy during certain times. They are always very friendly and willing to help. I suggest stopping in and checking it out. Wonderful local business!

The best bookstore in Reston … They’ve outlasted B&N, Borders, etc. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

I have been going to this shop for years, the selection is always changing. The staff is friendly and eager to point you in the right direction. There is a nice courtyard just outside overlooking the lake that is a nice place to sit and read.

Very nice lady. She worked very quickly and only took the books she was going to sell. While we waited, we walked around the store and they had books piled on bookshelves around the store. Lots of selection. Very nice feel.

It’s in an odd little square in what appears to be a condominium from the outside – but what a gem! I found hard-to-find first editions of some of my favorite authors, like Jonathan Lethem, Harry Crews, and Alan Lightman. I couldn’t afford it, but they also had a first edition of William Burroughs’ Nova Express that I coveted. Definitely worth the search.

I was so happy to find a place like this even existed in Reston. This is well worth the visit. Packed to the rafters, every wall is lined from floor to ceiling with a pretty wide variety of books, which are surprisingly well organized. Books are not overpriced– the prices are pretty fair. It’s everything a used book store should be, with a cozy and very vintage atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I am SO glad I found this place. Do yourself a favor and stop by here, you’ll be glad you did. I want to spend all my rainy days curled up in one of their armchairs with a good book, and you will too!

I could spend an entire day here. Exactly what I want in a bookstore. Their books are obviously carefully selected. I also love seeing the types of books the my reston brethren have finished reading. Also. They have live music sometimes. Worth the trip. I wish there were more places like this!

We took 2 bins of books to sell here. The saleswoman took us quickly and worked through our books quickly. However I think she only took about 5% our books. She did give us a good payout though. 10% of the cover price and a 3 to 1 trade for our science fiction books. The shelves were packed with books, which provides a good selection, but they we’re hard to sort through. Overall, I liked the store but they could use more organization.

Nice place to go and browse. Plenty of choices. Interesting selection. A place to sit and peruse and possibly find a gem…

Selection is a little bit limited and a little bit scatter-shot, but I’m not sure if I know of a lovelier way to spend an afternoon than searching for something to read at the Reston Used Book Shop, grabbing a drink at the nearby café and then sitting and reading by Lake Anne. I hope that this shop will be there for a long time, especially with all of the big box less charming chains going out of business, now more than ever we need to support our local, small businesses.

Four stars for a great little bookstore cram-packed with volumes of historical fiction, thrillers, sci-fi, fantasy from floor to ceiling. Family owned and operated, this is a local treasure where you can lose the better part of an hour easily among the stacks. Selection is limited at times, but I’ve rarely left without something interesting in tow. Reston Used Book Shop is a welcome stop at the farmers’ market and even worth a special trip when I have books to sell or trade for — -MORE books.

It is very comforting to me to see that used book stores like this are still around, especially in an area that seems to cater so much to higher end shops. This place has everything I want in a used book store — the smell of old books, tight space, books stacked to the ceiling. Prices are a little high, but I imagine rent is expensive here, so I don’t fault them. As with most used stores, you never know what you’ll find. Maybe nothing, maybe a gem, but the scavenger hunt is always fun. Staff is friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again.

Reston Used Book Shop reminds me of a bookstore in Diagon Alley; it’s an ancient tiny shop that forces you to navigate through narrow corridors of books stacked high to the ceiling. You might just find a hidden gem in the stacks and get it for a steal, or not find anything and just enjoy yourself browsing. I’ll admit, I haven’t bought that much there, and It’s not exactly organized, but I like the fact that it exists and I support it whole-heartedly.

I have had so many amazing finds in this little bookstore that it’s on my list of «must stops» whenever I’m on a book buying spree during the weekend. When the Barnes and Noble proves to have the same flat, mass market, fare offered by Books a Million– Reston Used Books gives me tantalizing goodies for a great price. Yes, you will have to search through to find the hidden gems, but they are my one stop shop for affordable historical fiction, sci-fi, and the occasional new age or mythology text. All of the sales people are very nice, don’t pressure you to buy anything, and seem to understand just how peaceful and enriching book buying should be. I hope they stick around for another 40 years.

This place is just adorable. Not quite all that well organized, but a small and comfortable space with books everywhere, crawling up shelves to the ceiling and stacked on the floor. A readers dream. Its a bit quiet to sit there all day and read, but should really be checked out if you’re into the used bookstore thing. The books are generally in great condition, and cost about half of list price.

This place gives me some mystical memories. One of my friend finding some treasured Calvin ‘n Hobbes books in the spacious salon area. Another, more recent, of the ancient cash register and handwritten bookkeeping, and friendly owners. I just stumbled in twice. I am grateful for these kinds of community spaces, even more than for another used bookstore.
