I have traveled to many book stores in many states and of all varieties of types and no matter what none of them can compare to Always Buying Books. The selection they have exceeds even the larger stores options. Between the new and used options the prices are always competitive. They give you an amazing offer on any books they are able to accept and are always absolutely amazing to work with. I absolutely love the #booktok room and Ameila is extremely knowledgeable on everything in there. The option to be apart of the discord group and get first look and dibs on new books in the store or to request a book to be ordered just for you is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen a store offer. When looking at my book case I can honestly say 90% of it is from ABB. And thats saying something when I have over 600 books. Bob has probably the best crew and all are irreplaceable. But make sure to talk to Alyse shes the real boss 🤣

Great selection and great prices. I had a gift card and was able to buy more than I could carry and I still have some to spend later!

I went this book shop looking for some Robin Cook novels that I haven’t read yet, and this is the first place in the Joplin/Webb City area that had em! Plus, had a large Brenda Novak and James Patterson collection. Not to mention the plethora of classic books. Some as old as 1812. A very large Oscar Wilde section. they have books for children and teens, cookbooks, Whatever you’re looking for, he’s got it! Best bookshop EVER!
