Plott Hound Books. Just like our namesake, we call these Southern Appalachian Mountains home and are proud to represent them. As Burnsville’s locally owned independent bookstore, we stock a passel of books about the region, from fact to fantastic fiction, poetry, foodways, byways, and more. But that’s not all. We know you love books of all kinds and that’s why our staff is always in dogged pursuit of the best reads around, from the hottest new releases to the most beloved classics, from abecdaries to young adult novels, blank verse to blank journals and… well, you get the idea!
Malaprop’s Bookstore/Café is an independent bookstore founded in Asheville, NC in 1982. We bring books, writers, and readers together in an environment that nurtures community and the joy of reading. We carry a carefully curated selection of books for adults, children, and young adults, as well as a large array of gift items. Writer Ann Patchett, in an article for the New York Times, said of us: “Malaprop’s was the heart and soul of Asheville, NC, when Asheville was a sleepy little hippie town, and it’s still its heart and soul now…, a position Malaprop’s maintained by being unabashedly true to itself.”
