The Book Dragon

Our Story

The Book Dragon Shop was born from a lifetime love of reading and a desire to share that love with the community. In 2019, with nearly two decades of experience in the book business, the owner took a leap of faith and turned her passion into reality. Nestled in the heart of historic Downtown Staunton, Virginia, at 102 W. Beverly Street, The Book Dragon Shop opened its doors on July 5th, 2019.

This bookstore is more than just a place to purchase books; it's a haven for book lovers. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with plenty of comfortable seating areas to browse and relax. The shelves are meticulously curated, offering a diverse selection of new books that cater to a wide range of tastes and interests.

In addition to new titles, The Book Dragon Shop takes pride in its carefully chosen collection of used books. These pre-loved stories offer a unique opportunity to discover hidden gems and literary treasures at affordable prices. Whether seeking a beloved classic or a forgotten favorite, browsing the used book section promises an adventure in its own right.
