From the owner: My business specializes in gently used books of all types. We have a variety of categories ranging…read morefrom fiction to non-fiction. The way my book system works: The paperback books are half the original price, if you do not have book credit. If you have book credit the books are a fourth of the original price. You will always pay at least a fourth of the price. Hardback books are $2.00 and up, depending on the book. To get book credit you need to bring books in. I take most books, except for text books and readers digest books. You will be given have the list value of your book, which will go for 3/4 the price of any books you would like to buy. So then you only pay the 1/4 price for your book.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted and asked if we needed help finding anything. I asked about anything written by local authors and the staff IMMEDIATELY led me around the store to about 5 different options. I chose a couple of those suggestions and a few other books after browsing around myself, including a "blind date" book. I think the blind date book was offered for a great price. The vibe inside was also just very cute and I will definitely come back when I visit again in the future!
