Testimonials

New books are rotated into the stock regularly. Recent reorganization of the store looks great. If you like piles of books, searching for treasures, and people named Bob – this is the shop for you. Every time I am in Joplin I pick up a stack of delightfully used paperbacks.

I love Bob’s. He’s amazing. I could spend hours in there. Unfortunately today the princess was too tired!! But she got done pretty great books as well!! He always has bargains. You can’t go wrong!! Thank you for being so awesome!!!

Such an awesome store. You won’t be sorry you stopped in.

Excellent store! This has a great Western section that I love coming back to again and again. Bob is always amazing to us!

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!

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!

Great store….great people…always friendly and knowledgeable……lots of good books. Must see, when in Joplin.

Just found this bookstore today. it makes my soul very happy.
