New books are rotated into the stock regularly. Recent reorganization of the store looks great. If you like piles of books, searching for treasures, and people named Bob - this is the shop for you. Every time I am in Joplin I pick up a stack of delightfully used paperbacks.

Best local used bookstore in the area. He's pretty free with giving you a deal and the books are fairly priced. I always go here before BAM or B&N.

If you are a book lover, you have to check this place out. I can't stress this enough as this is the neatest bookstore I have ever been to. The prices are very reasonable and the guy I spoke with at the counter is knows his stuff! The other interesting thing here are, world GLOBES! On several of the bookcases you will find world globes. I remember seeing these all the time I was a child.

This is the best book store I have ever been to. The owner was very helpful, while I was in one isle looking he was in other isles looking for me. Found books I have been looking for over 2 years for. Very affordable!!!!

Everyone is always nice and a very wide selection of books. Bob is a wonderful man and I hope his business stays going forever. Has a huge selection of Christian books, and many for cheap/donation! I love this part the most. He sells the books cheap and is always friendly! I’ll be back soon!

Really cool place to look for books. Its out of the way and local. The staff is awesome and they have some really good books you wouldn't normally find elsewhere. There is something about buying a book from a book store that is so much more satisfying than shopping online.
