Prospero's Bookstore front

While in Historic Manassas I visited Prospero's Bookstore on Center Street. As you can see by the photos it is the kind of bookstore you visit when you want
  • Antiquarian books
  • Antiqe Maps and Prints
  • Military History Books
  • History Books
  • Fiction (hard cover and paperback)
  • A broad range of topics

It is extremely well organized with nooks and crannies that invite liesurely book browsing. The only way to describe the store is that it exudes an air of authenticity coupled with the antique charm of the 93 year old building it calls home.

Karen - I love bookstores; just walking in and smelling all those books can put me on cloud 9. I absolutely also love that 99 year old building. Great post!

Karen, Prospero's looks like a great store to visit when looking for that special book.  We have a bookstore here in Lewisburg and you can smell the books when you first walk in.
