- Biblio, online bookseller
Asheville is home to one of the largest online booksellers in the country, Biblio, and they are staunch defenders of the local bookstore. We like that. We also like that they offer some great prices for saving on textbooks, from elementary school all the way through college. Just think of all the time I could have saved waiting in bookstore lines if they had been around 20 years ago! Used Textbooks at Biblio. We like them.
