Testimonials
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 !
Great store for an avid reader. Great prices and selection
Love this place and the people! !! Best book store ever, with the best old book smell!
Always Buying Books has a great selection for every reader!
Always find such amazing books here at great prices. My boys love the children/teen section. We homeschool and find so many things to supplement with in every subject. Keep it up Bookstore BOB!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
So many old books you can’t find anywhere else. !!
