While in a city I don't come to much, I look for used bookstores. I was in Columbia, MO I found…read morethis used bookstore and thought Awesome! Now I can trade in these gently used books (about 3 walmart bags). And they were mostly well known authors. The owner (manager?) did not want Any of them. That's when I noticed that his stock was all hippie dippy woke CRAP..so I guess for those of you readers out there that enjoy this kind of time and energy wasting nonsense, you probably think of this as a great place to go to, I don't. You do you!

if you haven't been to adam's books, go already! it's only open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on saturdays…read more the books are a bit overpriced, but the sheer number and variety makes it worth it to at least check it out. this used to be along my walk from my house to mu's campus and the window displays were a source of daily entertainment for me. among the walls (literally, floor to ceiling) of books, you will likely find some gems. my favorite purchase here was a misogynistic '70s guide book called 'how to pick up women in discos.' i also scored a bunch of primary source material for my undergraduate history thesis here. the lady who works there is super funny and helpful and most importantly is open (sort of) to haggling on book prices. if you plan on purchasing something, be sure to have your checkbook or cash handy, because they don't accept credit/debit.

We happened upon Skylark Bookshop walking around one day when we had free time during a swim meet…read more We love to go to book stores and browse their shelves. When we walked into the bookstore, we were greeted by friendly faces. The store is nice, organized and clean. They had many different books on two levels! In the upper level of the shop, they have a table with a chess board, which was nice because my younger child was finished looking at books and had already picked out a couple of things before his sister. We sat at the table while working on his books while she kept on looking. We left this bookstore with a few different selections of books and other items. We really enjoyed shopping at this bookstore and would recommend a stop here!

I was easily able to find the "Mizzou Mom" sweater I came for (but you might want to add some step-mom, step-dad stuff as other college stores have just to cover the bases there too) and they had several parent options that were cute. We got mugs, t-shirts, and saw all the things we came for. Staff walking around were friendly and took great care of us. Checkout was fast and pleasant.
