Reviews
Eclectic and artistic. Visually appealing to book lovers. Love the stairs and fun rugs and little notes. Lots of windows and natural light. Fun books and neat sections. Great displays. Beatific corner building. I didn’t go upstairs but says there is a cafe!
Square Books is an independent bookstore located on the courthouse square in Oxford, MS. My wife and I always drop by when we are visiting Oxford. It’s one of the highlights of our trip!
If you love authentically unique places, you need to visit the store. It’s a so much better experience than the homogenized big box stores. The staff is friendly and helpful and the book selection is very nice. If you like bookstores, this is by far one of the best. Make a point to pay them a visit!
Square Books in downtown Oxford, Mississippi is definitely the best place to find all books in this charming and historic university town.
It has an upstairs area with balcony to enjoy a cold drink, coffee or tea (no alcohol).
Hundreds of framed photographs adorn all the walls, depicting celebrities and authors who have shopped here.
Credit and debit cards are accepted and the entire store is delightfully air-conditioned.
I always love stopping by when I'm in town. It's so beautiful here and they have great people running the place. Grab a book and some coffee here while you support local business. This place is a definite must if you're in the area.
One of the best bookstores I have ever been to! It makes you feel like you’re at your grandma’s house sipping on hot chocolate and reading your favorite book. There’s so much to look at and so many places to curl up and browse. There’s even a coffee bar upstairs! I’d live here if I could.
Very neat local book shop to browse. I even saw some books that I know are difficult to find in stores! They have a terrific selection. I also appreciate their stock of notecards and notebooks! Three levels, too, and the third level has a tucked away coffee bar and a balcony where you can read your purchases.
The best bookstore in the South. Tremendous selection, top-notch staff, fast turnaround on orders. I love the speaker and readings series. They are a pillar of the Oxford community.
As everyone knows who has been here. All four of the Square Books are wonderful and staffed with great people. No trip to Oxford is complete without a visit and maybe a purchase from one of the Square Books bookstores all on the Oxford MS Square
