Reston's Used Book Shop -- RUBS
Serving book lovers for nearly three decades from its location at 1623 Washington Plaza on historic Lake Anne in Reston, Virginia.
Owners Bud and Susan Burwell create a literary living room in the shop for readers of all ages.
Stroll into the store and you may join an impromptu conversation about authors ranging from Louisa May Alcott to Doris Kearns Goodwin. You might hear a Melville enthusiast eloquently quoting his favorite passage from "Moby Dick."
Or you may meet a local author at one of the store's many special events or readings.
On any day, you'll probably meet a FRUB. A FRUB is a "Friend of Reston's Used Book Shop." (This may be the only bookstore with a fan club and a mascot!) FRUBS don't just buy books. FRUBS love the store, drop in a lot, and sometimes contribute ideas or a little time.
