I entered the store and was not greeted just stared at as if I didn't belong. As an African American customer, this experience made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, and it completely discouraged me from wanting to spend any money there. I will not be returning.

Still, they have an awful lot of books packed into a small space, and the proprietor - a retired professor who's just looking to break even - is very helpful. He'll help you find what you're looking for, and if you're interested in something there isn't much demand for - such as books in French - he may be able, if you call ahead, to grab some out of storage for you. Prices are reasonable.

Books are great. I mean I don't read them all that often, admittedly, but what can you expect when…read moreNetflix just got the full catalog of 'The L Word' and regular bookstore prices average $16.95 a book? I can't afford that ish... but that's where The Green Spot comes in. Budget Used Bookstore? I'm in! Sure, it's teensy tiny and hidden in the very far back corner of the Woodstock "mall", which isn't your traditional mall, more like just a big building (that would still pale in comparison to your average mall) with a vegetarian restaurant, a sewing store, a bathroom, a karate dojo and this bookstore. It's kind of like a more vertical strip mall, actually, but that doesn't really matter I guess. When I first walked by some of The Green Spot's outside book-stands and saw religious books, I almost turned around right then and there, but then I saw a nice little ole lady with a kitten purse who looked so inviting as she was working in the store, and who explained the sections to me and that's where I officially figured out that it wasn't at all a religious place, they just had a ton of those types of books priced to go, go, go... Inside, I saw one book for $3.95 and nothing else over $2, with most being in the $1 to .50 cent range. Not a bad deal. I found a huge 10+ lbs almanac of animals for $1 - ONE.SINGLE.DOLLAR. The selection wasn't half bad either. I mean, you likely wouldn't be able to find a specific title, but if you walked in just wanting to peruse, you'd have no problem finding *something* to pique your interest. They even have a nice selection of pretty classic DVDs (Big Lebowski, Eternal Sunshine and more) all priced at $1. I can't even rent DVDs at the library that cheap. Such a steal. The woman also mentioned that they often have large book sales where a literal truck load of used brooks is brought in, and they take over the entire lower level of the "mall" and everything is $2 or under. Can't wait to head back for some good ole fashioned book bonin'.

Every worker here seems to share a passion for books and the energy is infectious. I had to cut myself off, close my eyes, and slowly step away from the stacks. They also have some art and crafting supplies, paper goods, and vinyl. The prices are low and I think there might be some categories of people who qualify for discounts.

They had some classic series and lots of modern stuff that's blowing up right now. This could be a great place to start a collection or fill gaps for an existing one.

The place was super crowded but it was a Saturday, so I'll plan to come back and make some purchases on a weekday when browsing might be easier.
