Carmichael's is a well organized bookstore, with welcoming vibes. It may not be the biggest book store, but they so good with the space they have and I feel that it is well curatored. Liked that they separated the book section and the fun section. The staff here was also incredible friendly! Wanted to do the blind date with the book, so may need to go back.

Independent bookstores are a rarity now, so it's amazing this place has been around since 1978. They have a wide collection of books, plus other fun bookish merchandise and gifts. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very chill and relaxed.

Great local bookstore. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Great recommendations, and fun browsing such as "blind date with a book." Small, but good selection. Cozy.

I always stop by this independent bookstore whenever I’m in Louisville. Staff are warm and helpful. The selection of books is great: I always find something new to read when I’m there. Also a nice selection of cards and gifts if you’re looking for that.
