This side of the road shop may not look like much from the outside, but as the saying goes: never judge a book by it’s cover. This shop is an absolute treasure trove! From antiques, to mass paper backs, to brand new books, this shop covers history, fiction, mystery, non-fiction, religion, faith, kids, cooking….etc. It is more than worth a stop. We were greatly blessed by not only the books inside, but also by the conversation we had with the owner. I am looking forward to returning and can only highly recommend you make a trip to Always Buying Books.

I finally made it to find this bookstore. I love it! I barely made a start in looking through the many many stacks so I def know I’ll be back often! You must check it out!

The gentleman is a wonderful assistant. He is very helpful and nice. Great atmosphere and prices!

Gretchen Ochs

The classic don’t judge a book by its cover. Looking at the outside you would never guess the organization and coziness you’d find on the inside. The layout is well done, the selection large and prices are good. If I’m looking for something in particular this is my first stop.

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.

This is a gem!! I got 17 books for $44 and half of them were hardback. The owner is so nice and welcoming! Whenever I’m in joplin, stopping here is a must!!
