I’ve been here a couple of times and I absolutely love this place! I would go every Saturday if I could!

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!!

I have traveled to many book stores in many states and of all varieties of types and no matter what none of them can compare to Always Buying Books. The selection they have exceeds even the larger stores options. Between the new and used options the prices are always competitive. They give you an amazing offer on any books they are able to accept and are always absolutely amazing to work with. I absolutely love the #booktok room and Ameila is extremely knowledgeable on everything in there. The option to be apart of the discord group and get first look and dibs on new books in the store or to request a book to be ordered just for you is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen a store offer. When looking at my book case I can honestly say 90% of it is from ABB. And thats saying something when I have over 600 books. Bob has probably the best crew and all are irreplaceable. But make sure to talk to Alyse shes the real boss 🤣

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.

Great customer service.

Melody Dickey

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.
