It wasnt horrible, but I wont 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. Im not as concerned with the seemingly "high" prices for used books as others seem to be, but if youre there to find something particular, or even a general search for an authors work, plan to go for the whole day and shop the way you have to at Salvation Army for clothes. 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 didnt notice one until I was in the back room. Im glad I had my checkbook with me. A sign on the door might be a good idea. 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 cant go back.

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 One of the first books they picked out was a Ripleys Believe it or Not, a few years out of date.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, its easier than going to the library and either renewing the books or getting hit with the late fees. Wonderful, great resource I try to tell all of the school moms to visit with their kids.

I discovered this bookstore a year ago and I love it. Not many used bookstores are this well organised. The owner is always able to find what you are looking for if she has it. If she doesnt have it she right away goes online and tells you how fast she can get it for you and how much it will cost. I really appreciate having this in my community. I dont go to the big stores now because if I want a new book I can order it at a discount through Unicorn One.

I went there.. yesterday, I think. The owner was so sweet and straight forward. I asked her about a book, and whats a popular series, and she told me. Kinda bummed I didnt buy the first book in the series I got, but I would 100% go back and 100% suggest a friend. Its disorganized, just like books stores should be :)

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.

Used books from the 80s and older are still around $4 a piece. The trade in system is only a percentage off and not straight store credit. Its really the only option around this area :(
