Fantastic store! My kids love going here. This is a warm, friendly environment and I’m glad we have this store to go to. Hats off to Bob!
So many old books you can’t find anywhere else. !!
Tons of amazing books displayed by genre. Helpful, kind staff and great prices.
Bob sells books and I buy books. It’s important and enjoyable for me to have my own personal reference library. Bob has one, if not the largest collection of used, hard to find, or out of print history books in the region. Stop buy and take a look, you could find something that you’ve been looking for…for a long time!
Went in for the first time not knowimg what to expect…..spent 40 dollars on books in a matter of minutes. Love yhe selection
This is my favorite place in Joplin! Bob and Elise are just the greatest people ever. They go out of their way to make sure you have a good day there. Also they have such an impressive collection of books (and globes🌏 🙂 Love that place♡
This place is larger than it looks with a large selection to choose from and the best part is the owners seem like great people very helpful I will definitely recommend this shop to anyone and i will shop this store in the again future and make this my go too Book Store.
As an avid reader, I love Always Buying Books for finding a great read. As a local author, I enjoy book signing events in the store and having my paperbacks on the local author shelf. The staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. I’ve asked about books that a librarian would have trouble finding and they know where it is and take you straight to it. Amazing service!
The owners were super nice! They also had a wonderful book selection can’t wait to go back!

Favorite bookstore! Literally has everything for everyone. The owners are fun to talk to and are such nice people. Sometimes I get a fist bump when I come in and I don’t get nearly enough of those these days.
