Big Star Books & Music
Known For
Vinyl and paperbacks sharing shelf space in a lived-in brick room
Big Star Books & Music stacks vinyl alongside paperbacks in a bright, exposed-brick room where the cozy nooks feel earned rather than designed. It's the kind of shop where you go in for one thing and leave with three.
🕐Best time to visit: Saturday afternoons when new record arrivals have just been sorted
Our Take
Big Star sets itself apart by pairing books and music under one roof, with hand-written shelf notes and exposed brick giving it the personality of a shop run by people who care deeply about both. It's a charming, well-rounded independent worth seeking out, landing confidently in the solid local-favorite range.
