Lorelei Books

This was one of the first places I found in my new hometown, and I’m so glad I did! She is super friendly and helpful! She special ordered a book that my youngest kiddo destroyed, it was in the store within a few days. I plan on making all of my book purchases here instead from now on, I am in love with the ambiance and cozy feel of the store. I highly recommend you stop by and check it out!

Every time I’m in Vicksburg I fall in love with her harder and find more things to love about her. This time it was a few things but Lorelei Books tops the list.
I’m a huge lover of bookstores like this. I love to support independently and locally owned anything… but books are one of my favorite things so I’m pretty passionate about a local and independently owned bookstore. And by pretty passionate I mean way over the top, want to hug and kiss the owners, profess my undying love passionate.
This little bookstore features a carefully selected mix of local authors and regionally highlighted books. It’s sleek and airy and well lit. You’ll also find notecards, postcards, poetry journals and a warm welcoming vibe here.
Their logo though, is what really got me. A mermaid reading a book. Hello, adorable. If you fall in love with that logo as hard as I did, there are totes and tees printed with her on them for sale here as well. Sigh.
Support this wonderful little place please!

No huge change here. Marvelous bookstore. I was so happy to visit again with spouse DTG after four years. I bought three books. Great selection, a must visit.

It’s a small town book store!
What’s not to love?
Friendly owners.
Friendly cats.
Relaxing ambience.
Coffee shop next door.
It’s absolutely charming.

Really beautiful, bright bookstore. Small, but carefully curated collection of books. It looks like there’s a nice courtyard out back, I’m not sure if it’s open to customers. There are two cats who frequent the bookstore, Bette Davis and Coco Chanel. Super cute! The owner is really friendly and chatty and will likely strike up a conversation with you. These sorts of bookstores don’t exist that much anymore, but they should, so you should go and support them!

If you were making a movie and needed a set for a quaint small town bookstore, this would be your place. There are obviously not as many options here as the big box stores, but it is stocked with local authors, local topics, and just enough of great titles to make a visit. The owner was very helpful during our visit as I picked up a book on the blues and Haunted Vicksburg. There is also a resident cat that roams around the books that adds to the cozy atmosphere.

My wife is a voracious reader… and I knew I would have to return from Vicksburg with a book. Loralei’s was the perfect place to go.
They had a couple shelves full of books by local authors right up front… like they knew I was coming. I also bought a book about the blues, being that I was just footsteps from 61 Highway… a major artery of blues history in Mississippi.
Be sure to spend some time talking with the very nice lady that runs the store.
Highly recommend!
