Like a footnote, tucked away and unnoticed, yet holding the clairity and importance of…read moreunderstanding and knowledge, Houde Family Books is floors upon floors of non musty literature gold. Even if the books are a hundred years old, they are still offered at 4 bucks! Not really meant for bulk business, I think, but any needs one or all may have for their reading enjoyment, this store will come close or hold the title. For textual archival enjoyment or just to check out what's happening, Houde Family Books is a great find. It's family run just like the sign says, has a good kids section and a few other mysteries other than books...

From the owner: A bookstore with 5 floors of used books ranging in price from $0.50-$4. We also rent out space for…read morelocal vendors and artists to showcase their products.

My boyfriend and I stopped at Barnes and Noble recently. While they didn't have the books we…read morewanted, we did find other books to purchase. Our favorite section is the board games and card games. Lots of varieties that we haven't seen in other stores. All staff is friendly and helpful. Very clean.

Listen, can you hear it? The sound of hundreds of books crying…read more Barnes and Noble is in financial straits, partly due to ebooks and partly due to the fact that most Americans these days have stopped reading. Nothing to be proud of, folks. It astounds me that there are so few booksellers remaining. So if you want a book to read, outside of the bestselling crap available at the pharmacy and the supermarket, hurry on down here. Or, you can order online.

Great selection and prices (after you trade in your books for store credit to get the maximum 50%…read moreoff your purchase price). The prices aren't as bad as I'm making them out to be. The literature section has books priced from $3-5 (and occasionally a bit more). Paperback non-fiction and novels are usually $7 dollars. Hardcover history or art books are generally $5- $10. Select books (whether due to age or availability) are priced in the $15 range. You can't really sell books here. They offer instead a trade-in for store credit. Which wouldn't be so bad BUT you can only claim up to a 50% discount on your purchase using store credit. I wouldn't recommend selling, or rather trading in your books here, unless you have some books left over from your childhood (or other books you have no intention of reading) and are unwilling to drive to London for cash. The store is a bit cramped and you'll have to go through layers of books to find something good in the literature section. Kind, helpful staff. Great overall. This is a great pit stop to pick up a good read.before you go to the beach.
