This actual brick-and-mortar bookstore is a great excuse to not finance Jeff Bezos’ next space flight! Browseabout not only has a great selection with great reads for every age and taste, but it’s kind of a community center in the heart of Rehoboth. For the little ones, there are reading and game days. Authors well-known and emerging drop by for signings. The café provides sustenance for early morning informal social clubs, and for those of us who still like the tactile sensation of newspaper, Browseabout carries the local rags from D.C. to N.Y.C. Besides authors, one might bump into some notable RB vacationers among the stacks here, including Hoda Kotb, Dave Grohl, POTUS, and FLOTUS. And no wonder…service here is as outstanding as they are friendly. All of the staff is knowledgeable about their inventory, and are happy to make recommendations or take special requests. As a Delaware native, I’m always drawn to the books of local interest section. They might also have the best selection of greeting cards in town.

We visited on our Big 2022 Road Trip, as Browseabout was hosting a book signing by Elin Hildebrand and we were instructed that no matter what else might happen on our transcontinental adventure we would be at this shop THAT day. Parking on a summer weekend was an adventure, but the store is remarkable large and well-stocked, and handles hordes of well-mannered book fans well. Prices are reasonable, and the staff friendly.

My first stop in Rehoboth is always Browseabout Books. They have a wide selection of books, New and used, and magazines. Their gift shop is crammed full of cards, beads, and wonderful smelling soaps. Their children's section is amazing and they sell coffee! It's like heaven.

I returned to Browseabout Books in July 2022 after visiting here during the summer of 2021. The book store has a good travel section and history section. It is open from the morning until 10 pm every day. I think it is a very nice place to stop in during a visit to Rehoboth Beach.

Nice selection of books to browse through and a wonderful little gift shop, too. Picked up some gifts to take home for friends and family. Loved the way they painted books on the outside of the building to entice you in. Worth a stop.

I stopped in several times at Browseabout Books during my recent stay in Rehoboth Beach. It is located on Rehoboth Avenue 1.5 blocks from the boardwalk. I liked the hours as it is open 8 am to 10 pm and always busy. I liked the history section and the local interest / regional travel section which provided books on Delaware and the Delmarva (Delaware, Maryland, Virginia eastern shore). The store also sells games. souvenirs, gifts, cards, etc.

My oldest son loves to read. Browseabout is a big treat for him. I love when a child ASKS to go to the bookstore to get books. Plus, the employees are so nice. I asked for a specific book and they did not have it. The nice lady quickly ordered it for me and it will be in stock in a few days. I could have went on Amazon, but why? You can’t replace helpful, courteous service like this. Besides, it gives me an excuse to go downtown, grab a coffee there and maybe some luxury soap in the gift shop. Probably some Legos for the kids!

I like to support independent bookstores because I know it can be difficult to compete with the big chains and the online book sellers. Staff here are never rude but they do not go out of their way to be helpful either. If I cannot find something and ask, they more or less say well if it wasn't there we don't have it. Often they will not offer to help you look and I have never been asked if I would like them to see if they can get it. I am referring to books and magazines, not their gift shop section. I think the reason they stay in business is that there is no competition nearby. I wish there were.

Book lovers can browse here! They also have a great selection of games and puzzles! We expected that it would be an old timey store but was modern like Barnes and Noble. I liked the walls on the outside with painted on books!

My grandkids love this bookstore. So many things to see and do.many gift items too. It is a great place for a winter Sunday.
