4.0 of 5 stars.
I often forget what it's like to read for pleasure. It so easily slips my memory how I used to get lost in a novel; taken elsewhere and immersed in worlds other than ours. If for no other reason,...

Quaint bookstore in a bustling neighborhood. I walked in when checking out the sites. I could definitely see myself going back next time I am in town. It reminded me a bit of a bookstore I visit in my...

I visited this bookstore five or six times over the course of two weeks. Maybe I'm spoiled by San Francisco's amazing used bookstores -- in fact, I know I am -- and I also know the selection at Idle...

I'm torn about how to rate Idle Time Books, but I'm generally a fan. As a person who doesn't care what edition/ how rare a book is, I'm satiated by the dirt cheap prices. 1/2 off list price on...

The surprise factor of used bookstores is the draw for me, and Idle Time does not disappoint. I've always gone in with nothing in mind and left with something interesting and possibly archaic. The...

I, for one, actually like the music they play here (other reviews seem to dislike it). The store was playing "junior brown" an old-style country singer with a mean steel guitar. The dichotomy of...

You can score some really amazing finds in this place. I suggest you make sometime to spare and head in for a least a few hours of browsing time. And don't be afraid to get to the tall shelves and...

A cozy little used bookstore that's fun to browse in.I like how there are lots of interesting books displayed prominently near the front, so if you wander in aimlessly you're sure to find something...

Check out the used CDs near the checkout-- there are lots of interesting classical albums for great prices. I got some Sibelius tone poems, the Smetana cycle, and Petrushka for a steal, something like...

I love it! Hubby and I have made it a tradition to always go here after The Diner. There are so many books, nicely organized by subject, and comfy nooks to get lost in forever pouring over a great...

I came, I read, I bought. Caesar had it easy with the Gauls: he only had to kill them. Whenever I pass by Idle Times, I have to ignore the sudden driving urge to take up Sanskrit/become a pastry...

I love bookstores. I especially love used bookstores. What use is a book when you are only going to read it once and then have it collect dust on the shelf? You might as well get a pre-loved one and...

I am all about supporting the local businesses in Adams Morgan and this is one place I'll go back to when I need some good coffee table books. Anyone can just go to Borders and get a travel book, and...

Not much to say that hasn't been said, good selection, and I happen to know only half their inventory is out on the shelves. I am often running to this place to pick up a $7.00 slightly dated book for...

Idle Time has the feel of a used bookstore you visit because you're already in the neighborhood. That said, they keep some good jazz playing overhead, and the redhead behind the counter is a darling.

They have a pretty good Children's section here, which made me think they might have a copy of "Tin-tin and The Shooting Star." They did not, but the good news is, there is still a wide variety of...

Great used bookstore. You can check out their inventory online, which is extremely useful. Beyond the books, I particularly like their old school-ish cards and retro advertisements, which you can...

Idle Time is an ideal place to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon. There's two floors of good quality-used and vintage books, comfy chairs and a laid-back staff who won't pressure you to buy anything but are...

A great shop, especially for those who love books on politics. I am not one of them, but I have many friends who, occasionally to my dismay, are, and who love to talk about it incessantly. They should...
