Excellent selection of children’s book. Suggestion- put children’s books in order of authors , series ,or reading levels. A little hard to find books for kids. But still best used books store in the area. Prices are excellent too.

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……

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.

Great selection of books to browse through. Prices low enough you can’t leave without buying a couple. Great customer service, very knowledgeable about the area & book recommendations. Stop in & grab a couple books, even if just passing through. You won’t regret it.
