Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Good to see this bookstore surviving and even thriving. It is due to interesting selection and pleasant inviting atmosphere. They invite you to browse and take your time . They have also comic books and graphic novels.

Interesting book store. They sell some new, but mostly used books. There are numerous rooms to go through and all different types of book. Each room will have certain type. You can easily spend hours in there looking at all they have. This is a definite stop for book lovers

Nice selection of books of local interest plus a lot of other things. We got one book about Shenandoah National Park, a novel, and a couple of random nonfiction books. A cat was hanging out in one of the rooms but he stayed where he was when we walked by.

This bookstore takes me back. They seem to have every kind of thing you could want, including a great kids section. It looks small from the front, but there are actually two buildings with full shelves. I found a bunch of cute activity books for the kids. I will do my gift shopping here from now on.

A great place to browse and find that prize book or video. Reasonable prices. Helpful and Friendly service. And the cats lounging among the books are no extra cost. We visit at least once a month.

We've been coming to this bookstore for years. It is a perfect place to browse for bargains in books. I have found great books on their "Bargain Porch" for a quarter. They offer mostly used books, but also new. They have a great local section with books on local history, national park information, hiking trail maps, etc. They have two friendly cats.

This great bookstore has a bit of everything, and a lot of a lot of things. Lots of romances, history (especially Civil War), mysteries, biographies, fiction, good literature, science, gardening, collectibles... The staff are very helpful and know where to find things in this jam-packed shop. The 25 cent table outside is available 24/7. The new kitty is very friendly. What's not to like?

Located right along a main road in Front Royal - this can be easy to miss if you're driving by too fast. However, once you get inside the front door, you won't want to leave if you're a book lover. It has all of the attributes that bibliophiles love: a warren of small rooms, packed with well organized books on nearly every topic. This shop stocks primarily used books with a smattering of new offerings. Strategically placed seating invites browsers to stay a little longer and enjoy the experience while trying to remember all of the authors they need to look up while they're visiting.

I have placed an order from them and received a receipt, via email, for payment.
I have not received any communication since then, despite numerous emails. I have requested shipping status. I have asked that I be informed if there is intent to send the item in the near future. I have indicated the latest I can receive this item related to Christmas. I have asked to be informed if it isn't going to be sent so I can make arrangements to find the item elsewhere.
No one has responded to any of my questions. I am not happy with this situation. This is not service and I'm distressed.
Does anyone know how to communicate with this business? My phone and email attempts were ignored therefore I need some other source. Does anyone know if this is a viable business?
Thank you
