Viva Books

Great selection of books, the owner Viva was super sweet, helped me find the african literature section & recommended a few other fun things to do in the neighborhood. Thanks so much! 🙂

Leaving this review to show my condolences and support for the small business. Wishing you a safe and speedy recovery.nnPhoto credit: Baltimore Sun.

This place is awesome! I visit a lot of bookstores so this time, I was looking for somewhere unique and this place didn't disappoint. The book store may not look huge but there's so much here, everything you could think of. I walked away with quite a hefty purchase but was so pleased to find mesoamerican texts and also made a new friend! Her cat companion is so affectionate and adorable, it made the experience all the sweeter.

Excellent bookstore– many lost and found gems in the piles. Well curated and maintained. The owner was wonderful with an artist's perspective on dustjackets, the life of books, and had a smiling-energy one can get lost in.

Viva is truly so kind–you can tell the book selections are carefully curated. I have found some truly incredible reads here. It's not so much the bookstore I go to when I'm looking for a specific book, rather I can wander in there and find a new book I didn't expect to find. Such a cozy and welcoming atmosphere! Will go back again and again!
