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 🤣

I feel at home here; Awesome place to obtain practically any book you could want! The books out side in the front are way discounted and easy on the pocketbook! Love this place!

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.

It has that feeling of home when you walk in the door. Friendly, welcoming staff. Large selection of books, at great prices. What’s not to recommend?

I have been in here 3 times now. The first time was on a super busy day, so hard to say then how it was. This past week I went back twice. I was VERY please with the atmosphere, and the pleasant people I came into contact with who worked there, Bob being one of them. I was able to take my time and look through what they had, and the prices were amazing. I am definitely coming here first from now on for my favorite novels.
