Bob sells books and I buy books. It’s important and enjoyable for me to have my own personal reference library. Bob has one, if not the largest collection of used, hard to find, or out of print history books in the region. Stop buy and take a look, you could find something that you’ve been looking for…for a long time!

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.
