Abstract:
Few things go together better than the beach and a good book. North Carolina has an abundance of good coastal bookstores, each with a character all its own. Blackburn profiles a few of them including the Island Bookstore (Duck and Corolla); Buxton Village Books (Buxton); Manteo Booksellers (Manteo); Quarter Moon Books & Gifts (Topsail Beach); Dee Gee's Gifts & Books (Morehead City); and Lowell's Bookworm (Holden Beach).
