Great selection on books! This is my go to store for books.

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

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!

This is the best used book store! A wide variety. You can find just what you are looking for here.. The Christian section is huge! Bob has always been so helpful and pleasant! The prices are great, and there is always a sale of some kind going on. It is a fun place. I LOVE Always Buying Books!!

I was VERY please with the atmosphere, and the pleasant people I came into contact with who worked there, Bob being one of them. I was able to take my time and look through what they had, and the prices were amazing. I am definitely coming here first from now on for my favorite novels.

What a lovely spot that we found. We spent a good time looking through all the books. The owner was there and very kind, as he was able to point us to books. We found stuff for us and our kids. If you live close, you are lucky. If you are traveling close, it’s a fun stop! Keep reading.

I’ve been here a couple of times and I absolutely love this place! I would go every Saturday if I could!
