Welcome to Accent on Books--

artisan booksellers since 1983

 Summer is almost here and the beach reading is wending its way into your bookstore.  We also have a strong selection of political and current events books and are looking forward to Howard Hanger coming to the store on Friday evening.  The only thing we're missing is you--come on down!

What is an "artisan" bookseller and why should you use one?

At Accent on Books, we embrace the artisan movement, the notion that humans are happiest and healthiest when we slow down and enjoy life.  Slow cooking, hand-made bread, locally- grown produce from a neighborhood tailgate market--all of these are facets of the artisan movement.

Now, we won't be making your books by hand but we will take your hand and help you find exactly what you're looking for, whether a gift or a personal choice for your own reading pleasure.  And if we don't stock the item you've come to find, we'll do our best to order it for you and get it to you in a timely manner.

Our knowledgeable staff will make suggestions based on their own reading and on reviews in national and trade publications.  We also feature several shelves of "Staff Picks" for your consideration. We're getting the hang of this website business, too, so please bear with us as we discover the ins and outs of this Accent on Books dot com.

We're located in Grace Plaza on Merrimon Avenue--a little row of shops that we've dubbed "Grace Underground".  Our store is directly below SteinMart and behind the Fresh Market. You can call us if you get lost--we're at 828-252-6255.

We're also happy to spend some electronic time with you, so email us here:
