Great store….great people…always friendly and knowledgeable……lots of good books. Must see, when in Joplin.
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.
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 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!
Always Buying Books is the ONLY bookstore I go to. Best selection, best prices and best service.
Never seen a better selection of classics in one place.
