Reston's Used Book Shop, the place "Where Books and People Meet." And the people who frequent this mom-and-pop gem, well they're the FRUBs (friends of Reston's Used Book Shop). FRUBS don't just buy books. FRUBS love the store, drop in a lot, and sometimes contribute ideas or a little time.

In 1999, Bud and Susan Burwell took the reigns and continued the community tradition inspired by the original owners. Bud and Susan have created a haven for book lovers of all ages. The store includes a literary living room in the shop where you can snuggle with a cup of coffee or attend one of the stores frequent lectures or events. You can even stop by for an afternoon of bluegrass music once a month.
