Less than three miles from the Delaware shoreline, there's the perfect store to find your newest beach read.
Turning Pages Book Lounge opened this summer and offers a wide range of used books. I've always preferred used books for traveling- there's no pressure to keep them pristine, so a little sand in the binding can be overlooked.
The owner, a chatty visual arts teacher from the DC suburbs, also operates a retro toy store a few miles away and that's reflected in the products. A dozen ukuleles are displayed for sale, next to a sign for group lessons, and vintage records are tucked away in the back.
Overall, this is an amazing place for new reading material. Almost all paperbacks are $2.50 so it's easy try genres you might have otherwise shied away from. A few titles have special pricing via a sticker on the back but nothing outrageous. We walked away with five books for under $20.
Overall, Turning Pages is a fun place to go when you're open to finding something new. The store has the vibe of a scavenger hunt and you're almost guaranteed to find the perfect thing you didn't know you needed.
The store typically opens at noon each day and closes at 10pm.
