If you are a book lover, you have to check this place out. I can’t stress this enough as this is the neatest bookstore I have ever been to. The prices are very reasonable and the guy I spoke with at the counter is knows his stuff! The other interesting thing here are, world GLOBES! On several of the bookcases you will find world globes. I remember seeing these all the time I was a child.

Great selection of books to browse through. Prices low enough you can’t leave without buying a couple. Great customer service, very knowledgeable about the area & book recommendations. Stop in & grab a couple books, even if just passing through. You won’t regret it.

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 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!
