Because whether you're looking for that ceritan title or you just feel like browsing- we're the perfect place to delight in thousands of books for every age, on any topic. Our huge selection of albums, tapes, and compact discs is unbeatable. And so are our prices! We're proud of what we've brought to out customers in Blacksburg for over 22 years.
