This is the rugged sister to Malaprops. If you have books to trade, they buy on Fridays and Saturdays. Great selection of used books!

Downtown books and news is a funky great bookstore! I love this place-it feels very friendly,intimate and it’s on Lexington which has many other great area shops in the downtown Asheville area.
