Recycle Books Records is a true Texas gem!…read more This amazing used bookstore and record store is located in the heart of Denton, TX inside a 100+-year-old opera house. They have been independently and family-owned for over 40 years, and they are a must-stop for all book and music lovers out there. This store is HUGE with over half-a-million books, movies, music and memorabilia. However, I think what makes them extra special is the curated selection of Horror and Thriller books, including some very unique collectibles. I am more into contemporary, so keep in mind those books are located on the top floor of their second building. Their children's book section was also incredible but frankly I didn't have the patience to go through them. This store can be a little overwhelming so definitely take a breath and ask for help if you can't find the genre you are looking for.

I'm actually going to leave 2 different reviews one for the Sherman store and the second for the…read moreonline order and shipping. First the Books a Million store in Sherman Tx.... I love books. I enjoy reading several different genres so I don't mind going to the store and browsing. What I don't understand why the store will not price reduce on the books THEY know they can. Also many of the popular authors why you're not keeping hard backed and paperback in stocked yet 3 stacks or rows of science fiction? really? Plus, I didn't appreciate the sales pressure to join Your Book Club!!! I have not saved any money. Which takes me to the second problem with Books a Million online order and shipping. My experience was this. I ordered a particular book because it was not available in your store. Was promised delivery in 2 days. After 10 days, I finally sent email to cancel. The reply back was unable due to my order was processed and in route. 2 days after THAT reply I received A BOOK. But not the book I ordered!!!!!!! Not great service. I'm done. Do I recommend? I'm only providing information that happened here. Buyer beware is my recommendation

Patchouli Joe's Books was an okay bookstore for me…read more After reading some of their amazing reviews, and exploring some of the other bookstores around Denton I had high expectations for this store. However, I don't know if we caught them on a bad day, if their inventory was really low after Indie Bookstore Day the weekend before, or if the stars just weren't aligned that day but the store itself was very empty. The book selection was minimal and the staff was not exactly helpful. Frankly the store felt too big for the minimal amount of books they had. Also customer service was absent that day and after asking some questions to the person at the counter you could tell he just didn't want to be there. The difference in customer interaction between this store and others around Denton was like night and day. Would I come back to Patchouli? Maybe, but it wouldn't be my first stop when visiting Denton.

Bookstores are my favorite stores - and Patchouli Joe's in Denton is another fabulous bookstore!…read moreAnytime you have a bookstore in an old historic building you already get my attention. And you create a space that honors the building and updating it with warm wood and fixtures, you're doing it right in my opinion. I loved the selections offered here and so did my daughters and granddaughter. Yes, I bought books here and my granddaughter was thrilled. There's a dedicated children's area with nice seating for them. There was a touch of magic there. Kids were happy and couldn't wait to get to the next book. That is what a book store is supposed to be about. I met the owners and both are genuinely nice and they care about their customers and their business. Both are very knowledgeable and more than happy to help in any way. If you're in Denton, you need to drop in and browse around - I bet you walk out with a great book!
