This is a great book and is definitely worth a walk through due to the vast amount of books within the store. They are everywhere and surround you constantly with every turn tempting you to stay another ten minutes. The selection of used books is great and you are bound to find a gem you've been looking for or never thought you find within the confines of this haven. If you are a bibliophile like myself this place is definitely for you. This is by far my most favorite place to visit in Waco, definitely give the classics section a view. It always has something new for me to pick up! read more

This bookstore rocks!! I LOVE it!! It's under new ownership as of December 2021 and they're really adding fun touches, decor, an adorable kids' section, and even a cozy reading nook! Their shop dog Stevie is a lovely sweet boy who just wants loving and they recently put in a dog and cat lover's section, cause the owners are passionate about fur babies! Seriously, this shop is my happy place, everyone needs to go here! read more

Waco has two used book stores, this is the newer and smaller of the two. They still have a great selection of books, and if your wife is a purse junky...they have those too. We traded in some books and left with...you guessed it...almost as many as we brought. The books were very reasonably priced...we'll be back! read more

Amazing place with such a warm genuine atmosphere. These are new owners and are really running with it. It's places like that, that make Waco great. I've talked to the man who owns it and man, he's like that librarian in school that knew all the books, loved books and could give you an idea of what to read according to who you like to read. I love the way he dresses. read more

They have a great selection of books at an affordable price. I enjoy just browsing the shelves there without feeling that anything is out of my price range. The owners are very well-read and have a detailed knowledge of their selection. I couldn't recommend Brazos Books more! read more

Best bookstore ever!!! Daniel and Noelle couldn't have been nicer. Very impressed with their knowledge of books!!!!! The children's section made my 5 year old very happy. read more

This is a wonderful treasure hunt of a used bookstore. Stacks of paperbacks of all kinds as well as stuff that's out of print. Great prices as well. Love this place. read more

I've been shopping here for years. It's usually a good experience, but not lately. I have a book that I want and she has it. I traded in 21 books ( all in excellent condition) just to get credit to get this book I want. I got my credit got the book I want and found out that I couldn't get it because it's a book that's marked not for trade. So I waited several months and went back with my $21 credit and there's another book just like the one I want. And it's not marked ' not for trade'. guess what I can't get it. Why? she said it's because it's a hard back and I didn't trade in any hard backs. But I did. I trade in about 10 in excellent condition. The reason I couldn't trade it this time.........I didn't trade in popular books. I'm never going to be able to use my $21 credit for anything but old worn out paperbacks. I will pass my $21 credit on to someone else. It's not fair. I could have sold those books online and got the money to buy the stupid book new. There's no fairness here. She has millions of books but she's not going to let me trade for that one. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. Been popping in sporadically over the years and even though I live in Dallas now I make special trips over here. The owner always recognizes me and leads me to whichever section I'm itching to hunt. She has everything and I could chit chat books with this sweet woman all day. I will always credit her for starting my obsession with the Outlander series!!! You guys are amazing and coming in here makes my day!!!! read more

This is an old school bookstore, complete with old crappy strip mall location and books stacked about all over the floor and double stacked on shelves. You have to be prepared to hunt if you're coming here and can easily get lost for hours in the mess. It's really a book nerds dream! They also have a new loyalty program- I think you get a stamp for every $10 spent and get a free $10 after 9 stamps- or something like that! read more

There's no better one-two combo than lunch at Schmaltz's followed by a dessert of book perusal at Brazos Books. Great selection and variety. Relatively good organization for a used book store. The owner is always present and always genial and helpful. read more

Really cool half priced book store. Much better than buying expensive books from Barnes and Noble. Tons of paper backs and tons of audio books. The lady running it is also very nice and extremely helpful. I always end up getting more books than I had planned. Thankfully I can trade them in for store credit once I'm done with them! read more
