One of the best bookshops in the area! The staff is always courteous and willing to help as soon as you walk in the door (Zora the cat being one of them). Theres a good selection of books to choose from and whats really cool is that they have a decent sized selection of books from local authors. I always enjoying spending time here or even just walking by to see inside.

I was looking for a used bookstore while I was in the area. I found this on my search and decided to go visit.As soon as we walked into the bookstore, a cat came to greet us. He was a super cool laid-back cat, and that was my favorite part about the bookstore.They unfortunately did not have a lot of used books. They mainly carried new books. I also did not have a lot of classics in print (Dickens for example).It was very easy to find what I was looking for. Everything was very organized and neat. I unfortunately was unable to find anything on this visit.Theres a coffee shop next door, so this would be a fun stop if youre looking to spend an afternoon with a book and a coffee.

Amazing selection of titles from a plethora of genres. The staff is fantastic and always helpful in finding an exact book, ordering an out of stock item, or suggesting similar titles. The icing on the cake, though, is definitely the resident cat (simply the friendliest)!

Outstanding small book store with a large selection of recent releases, kids books, and I cant help but check out the used book wall and the $1 cart. Sit out front with a book and a cup of coffee.

Little hometown bookstore with good recommendations and local books/authors section. Coffee shops in same building makes for a great spot to grab a cup of joe and sit out front with a book.

A great environment for both writers and book lovers! My wife and I have lived in quite a few areas throughout the United States and Germany. We have never seen such a great community outreach program quite like this one. The Spartanburg community as whole thrives because of these types of organizations that allow local up and coming artists to hone their skills. Make sure to check their calendar to see future meet and greet dates as well as workshops to help hone your own writing skills. Did I mention that they have an excellent book selection and theyre located next to a coffee shop?

An excellent local bookstore. Theyre very selective with their books, which is actually quite a good thing. That being said, know what you like and want to buy. :) Always found good reads here no matter what. Its definitely a great place to hunt for books.

Quaint little local bookstore, great for sitting down with a good book.The Hub City Bookshop & Press doesnt have the size and selection of say Barnes & Noble or other franchise bookstores, but it does have history and atmosphere. They heavily emphasize the purchase of used books, which is a fantastic cause to get behind. There is some seating available throughout the store, and they share a door with the coffee shop within the same building.Support local business by shopping at Hub City Bookshop & Press next time youre looking for a good read.

I look forward to the many author, book signing events that you host all during the year. Browsing the bookshop for new authors or local authors that have been published and printed by Hub City. A very relaxing atmosphere where you can sit and read the books you just bought. Visit Hubcity bookstore, you will love it too!!
