So many old books you can’t find anywhere else. !!
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 friendly, great selection. I look forward to every visit.
This is my favorite place in Joplin! Bob and Elise are just the greatest people ever. They go out of their way to make sure you have a good day there. Also they have such an impressive collection of books (and globes🌏 🙂 Love that place♡
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 bookstore and much to choose from. Great owner. A must stop in Joplin
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!
It is so good that bookstores like these still exist. Lots of chairs and places to sit. Great service and very helpful folks . I was looking in 4 boxes of books that had just come in. They didn’t scold me because they weren’t priced yet, as has happened in other stores but had me stack them and a gave me a great price for the lot.
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.
