Review:

The Alabama Booksmith is one of Alabama's most unique bookstores, opened to the public in September of 1990 by lifelong bookseller Jake Reiss. The bookstore has sold only signed copies of books since its 2012 renovation, creating a unique business model where every book sold is a collector's item. With the exception of a few rare and out-of-print titles, all books are sold at standard publisher's price, in the same manner as if it were a non-signed standard edition. Visitors can peruse the bookstore's unique collections at its brick-and-mortar showroom during regular business hours Mondays through Saturdays during the morning and afternoon hours. More than a thousand writers have graced the bookstore's in-store event areas since its opening, showcased as part of free book signing, reading, and author meet-and-greet events throughout the year.
