I finally made it to find this bookstore. I love it! I barely made a start in looking through the many many stacks so I def know I’ll be back often! You must check it out!

Bev Mabe

Hollister, MO

This is a VERY nice establishment. the prices are phenomenal and the books are in either New or gently used conditions. there is a wide selection in all genres including many famous and highly acclaimed authors. It is clean and tidy. The gentleman behind the counter is exceptionally kind. Offering my overheated toddler a cold water and applejuice. This is definitely a kid friendly space BUT as with any business you want to keep them with you to respect the space and people in it. It’s a wonderful place! Stop by here before going to Books a Million! you may find the same $27 book for $4 !

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.

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.

Best local used bookstore in the area. He's pretty free with giving you a deal and the books are fairly priced. I always go here before BAM or B&N.

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.

Everyone is always nice and a very wide selection of books. Bob is a wonderful man and I hope his business stays going forever. Has a huge selection of Christian books, and many for cheap/donation! I love this part the most. He sells the books cheap and is always friendly! I’ll be back soon!

Really cool place to look for books. Its out of the way and local. The staff is awesome and they have some really good books you wouldn't normally find elsewhere. There is something about buying a book from a book store that is so much more satisfying than shopping online.
