Seven and One Books

Beautiful store, really helpful group of people. Was visiting from out of town and would love to return. Loved the books available, the vibe, the artisan gifts.

If you love books and pretty details and fun furniture and wooden floors, this is a must stop when you’re in Abilene. Megan was very helpful with inspiring conversation, and her knowledge of books was very impressive. Not only do they have a great collection, but they way in which they books are displayed is so creative, fun, and eye catching. You can grab a cuppa tea while you nestle into a reading spot and enjoy a lounge while you soak in the atmosphere of a bookstore like none other I have visited. Oct 27,2023 I visited again when I had thirty minutes to pop in and read. The owner asked if I would like her to heat the kettle for a cup of tea, and she directed me to a quiet reading chair and brought me my tea. It’s such a lovely place.

This is the coziest and most beautiful local bookstore - I love that it has become a hub for local events, a gathering place for the community - a true third space. Tonight, I just came to browse and sit on one of the couches and read a library book, surrounded by hundreds of other books - a dream come true really.

MUST visit!! If you get the chance, drop in here! This place has a relaxing atmosphere! If you need some real me time, go wonder down town and grab a good book! Oh and Tea for FREE!! ENJOY!!!

This shop feeds my soul! I love books and the owners have made this space feel like home to all of us book lovers! My son savors every story and beautifully illustrated book in his little collection! I truly believe, experiences choosing books and exploring the shelves at Seven and One is a big part of why our little reader has fallen so in love with books! Last night he even RAN to bed yelling “DRAGON BOY, DADA!!!” Requesting his current nightly favorite! Do yourself a favor and spend some quality time in the shelves of Seven and One with a warm cup of tea. It is such a restorative imaginative place! ♥️

Store was absolutely beautiful! Great assortment, wonderful layout, and super friendly staff. They had a book that my gf had been searching for and I picked up a couple of books as well! Would definitely recommend!

Arlene is an amazing host. She is ready to answer any questions or help you find a book you are looking for. I wasn’t looking for a new book, but I sat down to look one over. 30 minutes and 14 chapters later I bought it with some magnetic bookmarks! Lovely place, such a vibe! I bring all of my reader friends.

Such a fantastic bookstore! They have Harry Potter section, plant section, date with a book, and a fun Mary Poppins bookshelf. There are also other book related gifts and plenty of seating. They also do author signings too. Can’t wait to go back!

Love the vibe, selection and staff. Great place to chill on a hot day; kick back and read

I finally received my collector's edition copy of The Perfect Marriage by Jenevah Rose. On her website, it stated that Seven & One Books was supposed to be carrying signed copies so I ordered from them. Super fast shipping since the release date was 11/26 and I got it today- 11/30 but when I received the book, it was not signed :(

As a local, 7&1 is my favorite downtown location - the staff is always so friendly and helpful, and I love the overall vibe. They're constantly updating their selection of books, so I always find something new when I stop by. A must-visit!

Not a local vibe at all. This place is sterile. Feels as authentic as plastic trees. They are faux chic, reeking of pretentiousness. Seek other bookstores.
