The Book Exchange is one of those places I just want to go back to again and again. The collection of used books is vast--so many to choose from, it would be a bit overwhelming if it were not all so well organized. The place is laid out in such a way that there's lots of little places to chill... More

My rating would have been higher but I could not get served the first time I went into the store. The signs on the tables stated that you should check in and let them know where you will be located. A couple in front of me were welcomed and assisted but dispite very little activity in the area and 3... More

My boyfriend and I stopped here our first night in Asheville. I'm a book lover so I was already smitten from the moment we walked in. It's a lot to take in and a lot of fun to browse. We decided to sit at the bar for some wine and cheese and our bartender could not have been friendlier or... More

I'm not sure how they do it, but walking into this place just seems to encourage relaxation. The by-the-glass list is very good (more mid-priced sparklers now), the little plates of cheese or pate are just fine, and there seem to be dozens of nooks and crannies around the place to park yourself and a friend or two for pleasant...

My husband and I absolutely love this place! We would drive the 2 hour trip to Asheville just to go here for the afternoon. They have a great, relaxing atmosphere. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It is fun to find a little corner surrounded by books and to just sit and sip on wine and chat for hours.... More

Part bookstore, part wine bar, part coffee shop - all cozy and comfy. I felt like I was getting away with sneaking food into the library! The 3-cheese, bread, and olive plate was just right for an afternoon snack shared with 3 friends and a bottle of wine.

So great! Wonderful to curl up in a cozy corner and have a glass of wine and work or whatever. I LOVE this place. Great to bring visitors to Asheville.

I love this used book store + wine bar + coffee shop! It is a relaxing place to sit inside with a book or sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine or cup of coffee with friends. Most importantly, I love that dogs are welcome. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. Can't wait to go back.

Tons of books with nooks and crannies everywhere to sit and read, chat with friends, or have a beer, wine, or coffee. They offer food too! It is a really quaint but trendy handout. Perfect for couples, groups, or time alone. Their book selection is great too!
