Quaint little book store. Owner was fun to talk to.

As an avid reader, I love Always Buying Books for finding a great read. As a local author, I enjoy book signing events in the store and having my paperbacks on the local author shelf. The staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. I’ve asked about books that a librarian would have trouble finding and they know where it is and take you straight to it. Amazing service!

Huge classics section, huge Stephen King section, modern stuff and everything in between. All you could want out of a little bookstore.

Great bookstore and much to choose from. Great owner. A must stop in Joplin

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.
