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!

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!

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 !
