Cute bookstore. Some good finds. Mostly good prices, but some classics were priced as if brand new when they were used, I felt they should be priced a bit lower. I will come back. Lots to look through and cute gifts for book lovers also! Friendly and helpful employee working when we visited on a weekday.

A cute store with a huge assortment of book-related gifts. Can't find a book that you're looking for? Pick up a puzzle, journal, sticker, pin, shirt, mug, socks, bookmark, or any other fun novelty item. A big comfy couch invites you to spend some time reading your newest purchase along with a nice hot cup of coffee. Owner Erin Matthews is sweet and knowledgeable and will help match you with just the right read. And did I forget to mention the enormous collection of stuffed animals just begging to be paired with a book for your young reader? If you are planning a visit to Mt. Airy, make sure that The Last Word is on your list!

I've been coming to The Last Word for awhile. They have an awesome mix of new and used books and book themed items! There's nothing better than buying a book, than wandering down the street to liquidity and having a beer while reading some new fun discovery!

Great collection of used and almost new books. Friendly local owner with a very cute cat. Other lil gifts include cute office supplies, unique cards, pins, and games. They also have 5 book for $10 outside, where I pickup many to share with my work tiny library. I hope we can always support this local business because there are so few bookstores left nowadays...
