Our Take
The VMI Bookstore has a charming, vintage-inflected interior that reflects the historic campus it calls home, and the kind of browsable depth that makes it easy to lose an hour without noticing. It punches above its category — this is more than a campus shop, and 118 ratings suggest visitors figure that out quickly.
