It wasn't horrible, but I won't be back. It was terribly disorganized. There were sections labeled, but nothing in any sort of order. Nothing was alphabetical by author or title. Not even an attempt to make things easier to look through. Think Salvation Army but with shelves and shelves of books.
Wonderful, great resource I try to tell all of the school moms to visit with their kids.
Fantastic used book store. I have been coming here with my 7 and 8 year old boys for several years. One of the first books they picked out was a Ripley's Believe it or Not, a few years out of date. I paid $5.00. THEY STILL HAVE THIS BOOK AND LOVE IT!! The owner is friendly and knowledgeable...she recommends books for each of us that we love. My kids now like "chapter books with pictures". She lets us know which ones would be interesting for them. It is so much cheaper than buying at book fairs or through the fliers the kids bring home from school. Also, it's easier than going to the library and either renewing the books or getting hit with the late fees.
Also, the owner was very negative. The entire time I was in the shop, she made a point to tell every person about how horrible business is and how she is barely surviving and not bringing in enough to pay the rent. Once she started bad mouthing other, previous, bookstore owners who were in the area, that was it. I made my purchase, left, and decided I can't go back.
I'm not as concerned with the seemingly "high" prices for used books as others seem to be, but if you're there to find something particular, or even a general search for an author's work, plan to go for the whole day and shop the way you have to at Salvation Army for clothes.
I like this store. I wish there was a better selection in things like horror, science fiction, etc but if is the romance genre you want the store is chock full. They also have a decent amount of kids books.
My mother in law picks up books on a regular basis. The owner knows exactly what she likes to read and helps pull the books for her. She is pleasure to work with.
I went there.. yesterday, I think. The owner was so sweet and straight forward. I asked her about a book, and what's a popular series, and she told me. Kinda bummed I didn't buy the first book in the series I got, but I would 100% go back and 100% suggest a friend. It's disorganized, just like books stores should be :)
The store accepts cash or checks, which is fine. But while she claims the signs are all over the store, they are placed in places where you have to look up to see them. I didn't notice one until I was in the back room. I'm glad I had my checkbook with me. A sign on the door might be a good idea.
