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.

Sandra Smith

Great selection, well organized, friendly and clean. Always something to find when we stop in.

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!
