I've been a patron at Books and Crannies since I was a little girl. I remember my mom taking me there often and going there to get the final Harry Potter book. It was such a wonderful memory. The owner Gayle is extremely kind and helpful, she truly wants you to leave the store happier than when you came in. The store is large and accommodates a large variety of genres. There is something for everyone in this store. The prices are extremely affordable and they have a trade credit program for used books. In addition to all the amazing reads the Book Store also hosts free classic movies twice a month. Their theatre troupe the vagabond players also performs at the bookstore small stage several times a year with humorous and enjoyable plays.

Ron & Gayle and resident bookstore cat, Maddie (rescued from New Orleans) run not only this fantastic little used bookstore but also the ladies' consignment shop in another part of the store AND a theatre in the back where they show free classic movies every other week (free popcorn and soda too!) as well as quarterly plays they put on w. their own acting troupe. Oh, AND there is a studio upstairs that offers karate and ballroom lessons during the week What makes this place for me is totally the owners and the vibe of the place - you can just see their care for the community reflected in the way they've restored and cared for the building, how they interact with clients, what they offer etc

Just inside the store, nice area to read and sit

Larger than other HPBs I've been too and has a wide selection of books & media for all tastes. Can…read morelose a solid couple hours selecting books here anytime I visit. Great value for money.

Ken is the WORST and most RACIST employee at this location. Idk who felt like he deserved to be…read moreassistant manager of anything let alone a bookstore. I brought books from a STORAGE unit, all from the same place multiple times and they were evaluated fine. I have so many books I should have probably just donated them to the library. He accepted books from a white patron one stack mind you, with library writings on them and gave that patron $22. We had 3 loads of books and were given $1. Equally the day prior $4, for 3 tubs of books. I could have let it go if it weren't for the comments which I shared with corporate and won't bother to share here. I am extremely offended and never pull the "race" card, but that employee in particular is rude and racist. I drove the items up there in a Porsche I'm QUITE certain I wasn't smoking. I was told they only deserve $1 and that the library wouldn't take them. Unnecessary comments weren't needed. I could have said he looked like a proud boy who just left a far right tattoo parlor but I didn't. I've lived in Frisco for over 11 years and have frequented this location without a problem. If you are a person of color and see this man, spare yourself the trouble when he is evaluating, you will get nothing but profiled. It's not the money clearly, no one cares about that when getting rid of things or giving back. It's the rude and ignorant comments that other patrons didn't have to experience. The rest of the staff was great, kind, and very accommodating. He is combative, ignorant, childish, and rude. His customer service is terrible and for this to be the standard for an ASSISTANT MANAGER is insane. Your staff is a representation of your brand, so if nothing more this is a serious coaching opportunity. For him to feign offense to being called out about being overtly racist was an insult as well. Pure ignorance. Then laughed as if it were funny, as if calling corporate didn't matter. Smug, ignorant and arrogant. Like what are you gonna do about it? These type of ignorant employees are the reason why companies lose businesses that were once cherished and reputable.
