South Main Book Company

Over 20 years ago, Mr. Deal Safrit opened the Literary Bookpost across the street from where we are now located in downtown Salisbury, NC. We appreciate your choosing us (or another indie store) for your business over Amazon; your support keeps our doors open, our light bill paid, and the water turned on. As a life-long resident of North Carolina, I particularly love this town, this beautiful store, and our loyal customers. Thank you again for buying local and supporting your neighbors.
