Great store for an avid reader. Great prices and selection
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.
It is so good that bookstores like these still exist. Lots of chairs and places to sit. Great service and very helpful folks . I was looking in 4 boxes of books that had just come in. They didn’t scold me because they weren’t priced yet, as has happened in other stores but had me stack them and a gave me a great price for the lot.
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!
This side of the road shop may not look like much from the outside, but as the saying goes: never judge a book by it’s cover. This shop is an absolute treasure trove! From antiques, to mass paper backs, to brand new books, this shop covers history, fiction, mystery, non-fiction, religion, faith, kids, cooking….etc. It is more than worth a stop. We were greatly blessed by not only the books inside, but also by the conversation we had with the owner. I am looking forward to returning and can only highly recommend you make a trip to Always Buying Books.
This is a gem!! I got 17 books for $44 and half of them were hardback. The owner is so nice and welcoming! Whenever I’m in joplin, stopping here is a must!!
Something for everybody! Great selection and even better prices!
Tons of amazing books displayed by genre. Helpful, kind staff and great prices.
I love that place….and Bob is so cool!!😎
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!
