Decent selection of books, assuming you can find them. It looks like a book hoarders dream inside, which makes it hard to shop. A lot of stuff is pretty overpriced given the condition, and it is cash only. All transactions are done by hand on a paper sales slip, so checkout is really slow. Still, I found a near pristine paperback I had been looking for to complete a collection, and was happy to buy it. Until the cashier tried to send me out the door without the book after Id just paid for, and then half shut it in the cash register because he didnt see it sitting right in front of him. Let me reiterate that. He shut my pristine 17 YEAR OLD PAPERBACK in the register. Frankly, if Id paid more for it I would have demanded my money back since he mangled the cover, but it wasnt worth the fight. Its easier to just never go back. Very unhappy. I really wouldnt recommend this store, which me sad given how hard it is to even find small bookstores nowadays.

This place is really neat. Ive never seen so many used books. Me and my little brother spent over an hour in here. Everything is priced cheap. For everyone who complains about prices should remember this is a small business. They have to make money to stay open! Support local. Will stop in here when I am around the area for sure.

Wonderful selection. I dont mind the stacks. I have found some of my best treasures in the piles of books not shelved yet. Prices are fair you get what you pay for. I purchased a paperback signed by President Gerald Ford it was quite worn but the autograph was real what a great find at a great price.

A very unusual sight these days, a large used bookshop. If you dont mind giant stacks or books everywhere youll have a lot of fun digging for treasure. The only downside for me are the stacks of books that block other stacks so I cant discover all that the store has to offer.

I ordered a book online from this store and was so impressed. The book came in great condition, on time and with shipping updates. I wish I lived in Columbus to go to actual store but I Highly recommend any of their online services!!!!!!! Thank You!!

This is what used bookstores should be. Row after row and stack after stack of great books. Great selection of foreign language, academic, physics, art and art history. Easy to spend several hours here.

The indignant older lady I tried to sell books to was gruff and unpleasant. She looked at me like I was a turd. Go to Half Price Books.
