This bookstore has the “The Shop Around the Corner” in you “You Got Mail” vibe. It is absolutely adorable and has an amazing, organized selection! They provided complimentary gift wrapping for the baby books I bought for my nephew. I will definitely be returning here for my next book purchase!

I loved this quaint and cozy book store - it had so many creative touches that the employees had added. Lovely collection of books, with personal reviews attached to the shelves from the employees. The girl at the register was super nice and helpful. We just happened to stumble across this shop when we lost our way to some place else, and it feels like we were meant to find it. Loved it, would visit again.

I went home with with a stack books I've already finished. (Thanks for the great recommendations.) I can't wait to go back again. If you've been ordering books online, you may have forgotten just how lucky we are in Richmond to have Fountain Books. Happy reading!

I love this book store. I will often order new books I know are coming out soon from them and they have the easiest pick-up system for it! I also love the little staff notes around the store suggesting books with little summaries. The staff are all super nice and helpful, and all very easy to talk to with any questions about books (:

My favorite local indie bookstore!! Friendly and helpful staff, a great variety of genres and curated reads, and lots of gift options apart from just books. They also host a ton of author events and have great member perks

Fountain Bookstore is so much more than just a place to buy books—shopping here is an absolute experience and entertainment in itself! The immense love of reading from the management and staff is apparent in every single detail. They have a beautifully curated collection with so many helpful handwritten staff picks and recommendations. I always find myself wandering into their progressive social commentary, feminist, inclusive, and nature-loving sections, or browsing their "banned books" shelf. I feel like I'm unlocking a new world to learn about every time I visit! Beyond the incredible literature, their gift and trinket selection is top-tier quality. On my last visit, I picked up a fantastic new cat toy that came highly recommended by the staff member who checked me out The team here is so warm and supportive; I love the sweet, enthusiastic comments they make about your choices when you're at the register! I’m a member of their club and get regular emails about their current literature events. Even though I haven't been able to attend one yet, it’s so clear that they are an active, vital community resource for discussion. I always walk in looking for one specific thing and leave with a bag full of unexpected treasures. Support your local indie bookstores!

Fountain Bookstore was absolutely adorable! The staff members were super friendly and chatted with me for a while. I loved how much the bookstore had to offer in terms of not only books, but stickers, patches, and all sorts of trinkets. Absolutely worth the visit, stop by and support a local bookstore!
