This place is larger than it looks with a large selection to choose from and the best part is the owners seem like great people very helpful I will definitely recommend this shop to anyone and i will shop this store in the again future and make this my go too Book Store.
What a wonderful book store. It is everything you want in a used book store. Tons of books, fun and interesting owner with lots of knowledge and good prices.
Never seen a better selection of classics in one 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
This is a wonderful book store with knowledgeable friendly staff. A wide selection of books, author signings and easy access.
New books are rotated into the stock regularly. Recent reorganization of the store looks great. If you like piles of books, searching for treasures, and people named Bob – this is the shop for you. Every time I am in Joplin I pick up a stack of delightfully used paperbacks.
Love this place and the people! !! Best book store ever, with the best old book smell!
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.
Always Buying Books has a great selection for every reader!
