My son and I needed to get a book for summer reading. He is not a reader unless he has to read for school. He likes military history and Good Books in the Woods has a great selection. After we paid for the book and were getting in the car, he said he wants to go back and look around soon because it is a cool shoppe. So excited he wants to go back! Thanks for having a cool shoppe!

Kinda creepy to be honest. But a decent selection. Very much so over priced.

Hidden gem. Dont be fooled by the outside. This bookstore is huge and filled to the brim with awesomeness. Just parousing the shelves was fun. Definitely worth checking out.

If you love used books, off the beaten path... lots of time to browse thousands of books, and enjoy supporting small businesses (who LOVE books), check this out. This is the kind of used book store one could spend hours in wandering around.... and great for gifts. Our sons bought my husband seven WW2 books.. and once he finishes those we will be back for more. House has been converted to bookstore, so lots of little room, cubby holes, stairs to more book... happy place.

What a gem! This is a little house that has been converted into a bookstore, most of the houses on the street have been converted into businesses and I loved the atmosphere! The prices seemed fair and there was a good selection. The owner seemed nice and helpful.

Adorable bookstore in a house setting. The entire 2 story house is a maze of bookshelves one could easily get lost in. Add all the comfy seating through and you could spend hours here. The owners are also very knowledgeable about their inventory.

This was quite the experince. It didnt have a great selection of what I was looking for but that didnt hinder my decision in giving this place a perfect score. Love the maze of books. An artformt hat is slowly eroding with time. I hope this place always has a place for the book collector and reader alike. Cant wait to go back!

Really great place! Even though I know the surrounding area pretty well, I wasn’t aware of this shop until I came across it randomly on google. I had a great time looking through all the history books they had and exploring the different sections. I also had a very pleasant conversation with who I believe was the owner. I’ve told my friends about this place and I plan to go back soon.

Very good! If your looking for something older, or are a collector is suggest taking a look. Just as you walk in there is quite a selection of antique books. The store is much bigger then it looks and extends through the entire home. Quite a fun hole in the wall find!

Such a well-cared for bookstore! They have a wide selection of well-chosen and organized books. The atmosphere is extremely warm and cozy. The converted-house layout of the building itself makes it very fun to explore the various rooms and sections. At the same time I found it easy to locate the sections I was most interested in. I spent an hour and a half exploring the lovely books they have and I could easily spend many, many more Saturday mornings here! This is the perfect happy place for book lovers!

Quaint little house-converted book store that had no shortage of interesting books and rarities. The walls are lined with classic gems and beloved books. I lost myself in the literal maze of bookshelves. Very comfy atmosphere. coffee provided for fellow caffeine enthusiasts.Absolutely loved it! Cant wait to visit again!

A great place if you are looking for books on a specific topic. I have not explored the fictional books. The owner is super helpful. Prices are extremely reasonable. Very friendly and helpful owner. Has website with all of his books listed, sends books all over the world. My husband picks out books he wants, I give my kids the list, they call or go online and order, since Im local, I go and pick them up.

Review №44

Clean and well-organized, with a personable ownership. A friend complained to me about the prices, and yes they are slightly higher than some used book stores, however if I were to take equivalencies on Amazon and then pay for shipping it would come out the same. So once you factor that in and that you are supporting a local bookseller, this place is a favorite.

Review №45

This store is hidden in The Woodlands area, but worth the effort to find. Endless rows of books, and the gentleman who runs the store is very nice. I brought my niece in to the store, and he took a lot of time to help her find a specialized book. Very customer-centric.Hard to find good independent book stores like this one - especially one with a cool dog roaming the shelves.

Review №46

Missed the dog, how ever the owner answered our phone call within three rings, much better than a big brand book store, he had the time co clean up a mess my son did with the dogs water with out a bad attitude, helped my kid find an specific themed book, while helping me even with my thick accent he was patient.As far as the store, it has a good selection of grown ups books, philosophy/religion, science and fiction were the areas i was focused on, with a stumble to the bargain section with interesting titles and took one i would not normally done.My family and i will be back and i will tell my friends about it

Loved it. The books! You wouldnt believe some of the books they have in that spot. The location is off the feeder road on the next block over from the feeder which is residential, its a little odd, but worth it. 🍷📖📚

Review №56

This bookstore is not worth the time if you just want to browse for good books! The main concern seems to be maintaining an image that they only sell rare books. I only found a few shelves of rare books. Other books are overpriced, usually by double the competitors. I wopuld only suggest shopping here if want a specific title that only they seem to have. Be aware, also that you will be greeted by a nervous, barking, medium sized dog upon entering the shop.

Review №68

Good Books In The Woods is exactly what it calls itself. Good Books. In The Woods. A place off the beaten path where rare and often highly valuable classics and hardcovers have found a temporary home. The place is a maze that -- if I ever had the time -- I suppose I would enter and not be heard from again for days or even weeks. Now, thats just me as an individual...As a business, I have enjoyed partnering with GBITW so much that my artwork remains there displayed on consignment. I absolutely recommend GBITW without reservation to any and all book lovers. If books are your drug...GBITW is the place to binge.
