Testimonials

Amazing books! They are amazing people and I loved the feel of this place!

This is a wonderful book store with knowledgeable friendly staff. A wide selection of books, author signings and easy access.

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!

Great store….great people…always friendly and knowledgeable……lots of good books. Must see, when in Joplin.

Excellent selection of children’s book. Suggestion- put children’s books in order of authors , series ,or reading levels. A little hard to find books for kids. But still best used books store in the area. Prices are excellent too.

Always Buying Books has a great selection for every reader!

Great place to find whatever you love to read and Bob supplies the fun!

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!!

huge selection and greatly priced blue a great section of children’s book, I can’t wait to take my kids so they can get the classics

I was in town over the holiday and my dad took me to this gem of a bookstore. I scored a first edition of a Hunter S Thompson collection for next to nothing. Later that day I returned with an old friend and we both found a handful of collectible editions by Tom Robbins, Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, and Henry Miller. The only possible weak(ish) link was the lack of a philosophy section. I’ve visited bookstores from coast to coast and in Europe. This place holds its own with the best of them. I’ll be back.
