ABC Books is a great used book store with an abundance of paperbacks and hardcover books. The inventory is constantly changing, offering an excellent and ever-changing selection of used books. The prices are excellent, cheap, and generally half off marked retail, with some hardcover books available for as low as one dollar. The shelves are stocked with books of all genres, sorted by genre, creating an overwhelming but good atmosphere where customers can find great finds and real literary gems. The very friendly and helpful staff greets customers warmly, making them feel appreciated. They are the most knowledgeable people, great at recommendations. Customers can give a few words description of a book they are looking for or a topic that interests them, and the staff knows exactly where it is and can recommend several authors and titles. This wonderful little bookstore is worth the visit for any bookworm, book lover, or literary freak.
Great used book store. Very friendly and helpful staff. Generally half off marked retail. However bring in hard and soft covers to get additional half off, to approx 25% of retail.

First time here this weekend and I feel crazy for not coming here sooner. Better prices AND better selection of used books than the other used bookstore in downtown Chico. I will be back!

Favorite book store in town. The owner is incredibly nice and I always love the books she recommends!
