I live in Durham, but I find myself in Quail Ridge on a very regular basis. They are always having some great readings/signings by my favorite authors, and they always do a fantastic job of being organized and efficient while also being homey and inviting. I also signed up for the email newsletter, and I enjoy Nancy's comments on what she's reading. I find out about a lot of wonderful books that way! My parents also love Quail Ridge... They drive 2 hours from South Carolina for many of the events, and because my dad is an educator, he gets a free membership in their discount club. It's a great value for them, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. I would recommend this store to anyone!
Pros: Staff, Selection, Atmosphere
Cons: It's in Raleigh. :(

I have been a customer since the early days at Quail Corners Shopping Center. The service has always been the best...you can go in with partial title, only the author's first name or a vague description of the book---and they can still "name that book". With discounts for the readers club, and regular sales for the members--prices are great. Nancy has created a book lovers heaven!

Perfect for the trendy sweater and loafer Izod crowd, everyone else should just move on. Great atmosphere, but be prepared to pay much higer prices than just about any place else in the area. You're probably paying for the ambience and snob appeal. Not worth it.
Pros: Selection, Class, Atmosphere
Cons: , Snobby customers, Prices

Customer service is the reason why I buy all my books at Quail Ridge. I've sent numerous emails with requests and always gotten a quick reply. The staff will also research items if you don't have all the information. Just send an email with a description and they'll do the rest, and hold the book for you. Plus, as an independent store you are helping the local economy and not some big corporation headquartered in California.
Pros: Customer Service

Quail Ridge definitely books some of the best author readings in the area. This store has personality--the staff is great, the atmosphere is cozy and they always seem to support local writers.
Pros: Good selection, Plenty of parking

From the many author readings to the frequent buyers' discount program, what's not to like about one of the Southeast's best bookstores. Why can't more cities have a place like Quail Ridge Books?
