Super cute and their prices are amazing

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 🤣

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.

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.

Love this place and the people! !! Best book store ever, with the best old book smell!

Such friendly and helpful people. I had a great time looking through their stacks. You must check it out of you are looking for a good read and want to support great local folks.

I love Bob’s. He’s amazing. I could spend hours in there. Unfortunately today the princess was too tired!! But she got done pretty great books as well!! He always has bargains. You can’t go wrong!! Thank you for being so awesome!!!

Today was the first time going to this bookstore and I would give it 100 stars. The place is so organized and the people that run it are so helpful. I don’t know their names but the owner knows what he is doing and the lady that helped has been there 18years. They had all the hardback books of John Grisham I needed to complete my list. I will be going back next Friday to top off my list. Thank you so much for being there and helping. CHECK IT OUT……

Great selection and great prices. I had a gift card and was able to buy more than I could carry and I still have some to spend later!

Tons of amazing books displayed by genre. Helpful, kind staff and great prices.
