Great store….great people…always friendly and knowledgeable……lots of good books. Must see, when in Joplin.
Great selection on books! This is my go to store for books.
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!
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!
Well worth a visit anytime. Bob is a really awesome guy who always has time to share with a friend.
Tons of amazing books displayed by genre. Helpful, kind staff and great prices.
I was totally surprised by the selection this bookstore offers. It’s a mix of used, new, and unique books you can’t find just anywhere. The people here were super friendly and helpful. Can’t believe I waited this long to visit but will definitely be stopping here regularly from now on.
