In Short
A combo music/book shop, this store's messy stacks hide an impressive collection of musical and literary titles. Visitors will find vinyl and CDs ranging from blues to gothic to metal to jazz, as well as rows of science… Read Full Editorial
What are some of these people talking about? by greydorrian via Citysearch on 10/9/2010
This store has been around for 20 years with a huge fan base. I've never seen the book/DVD/VHS/game side so full of stuff! Forget the complainers. If you have really good stuff they will pay for it and there are tons of things here for…
Tip for Sellers by DWilli1977 via Citysearch on 7/9/2010
Went in recently to try and sell books. The buyer there was completely unfriendly and such a jerk. SO CHEAP too! Only wanted to give me $5 for an entire stack of books.
Word to the wise- if you're looking to sell anything - stick to EBay…
High Prices on old stuff that should be .50. by heather meyer via Citysearch on 3/21/2010
If your into gaming stuff they have a good selection and decent prices.But that's about it. used DVD's that should be 2-3 $ they sell em for 8- 15 $ wow what a deal. vhs tapes straight up 50cents they sell them for 2-10 $ pathetic. then…
very unfriendly environment by glowstickguy via Citysearch on 12/8/2009
I think they hire people on the basis that they have no personality, and that they hate life. Everytime im in here they are cold and dont even say hello. I'll be lucky if i get two words out of them. Do not support this place for you will…
Adventurous Book and Music hunters-rejoy! by Fizor via Citysearch on 3/23/2009
This is a RPG gamers greatest dream come true! Not only do they sell old, hard to find RPG books (at LARGE discounts) but they sell new RPG books at a discount. The rest of the store has a great selection of used books ranging from brand…
Worth the pilgrimmage by Mateo H via Insider Pages on 3/1/2009
It's a bit of a hike, particularly for those with close ties to and limited transportation from cap hill, but once you get there, you'll feel right at home. Deep, deep bins of records, new and used, CDs on the walls, new and used, and when…
If you're a gamer or a geek, it's a dream come true. by Brennenmacg via Citysearch on 8/30/2008
Great selection of games, role playing books (old and new),dvd's, books of all genres, and even collectable miniatures. I love this place.
Okay by Sarah L via Insider Pages on 11/2/2005
Its an interesting place to go if you are looking for something punk, but other than that I wouldn't recommend just anyone going in there. They have everything graphic you could want including graphic tatoo magazines. If you want to talk…
Neat used shop with more than just CD's by D. B. via Judy's Book on 8/21/2005
Usually when you hit up a used shop, it typically has a pretty tight product focus....CD's, books, videos, etc. Black and Read has all of those in one place. The other cool thing about this place is that it will buy entire CD / record…
