Quaint little book store. Owner was fun to talk to.

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!

Huge classics section, huge Stephen King section, modern stuff and everything in between. All you could want out of a little bookstore.

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.
