This spot is PACKED with used books! You could browse these shelves for an entire day and not see all of the books. They have books from all genres: sci-fi, horror, romance, religion, geography, children's books, biographies, and more. Some were heavily used, but there was also a great selection of like-new books too! The books were priced well under retail. The majority of the books I was looking at were between $8 and $12. Some were hardcover and some paperback. I didn't interact with the staff until checkout. The cashier was nice and friendly. If you're looking for something specific, it will definitely be a hunt, but this was a great spot to spend a rainy day browsing.

I have been looking for a good used book store. 'When I entered Best Used Books' I was greeted with a pleasant welcome. It is a good place to trade used books. I love reading fantasy and SciFi novels especially in hardback. The store does take trade ins of the books I have finished but do not want to read again. The trade in value I can apply to half of the cost of new purchases. I enjoy doing business with them.

Love this place. Have a huge credit from all the books & media I traded back. Always find rare and valuable (to me) things. Fantastic selection. I got 5 items today, for less than $15 and every single thing would be tough to find anywhere else....good job guys

The minute you walk in, you're greeted with a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. The chaos of items is so amazing it makes you want to spend the day just looking through each time, however I only had an hour to shop, but I'll definitely be back! Support small businesses!

Lots of books to choose from here. They’re overflowing with books so it can be a little bit overwhelming, but i think it also gives it a homey touch. However, a lot of these books are the sameprices I could get them for new on amazon, so I often don’t leave with many.

What more could you want from a used book store? The prices aren't necessarily the cheapest but when I think about number of customers they receive in a day multiplied by the amount of money they typically spend, the fact that their sales cover their overhead let alone gives the owner a profit is pretty surprising. They've got a big selection, and it's a good place to wander around exploring the different genres. There's really a good chance they have the book you're looking for. The workers have never been rude at all when I've been so I don't know what to think about that other lady's review.

I would give this five stars if it was more organized and you could buy the magazines discounted if you buy more. Great books very nostalgic.

Going to the bar next door, I've always been too late to walk inside. Looking through the windows, I've seen items I'd be interested in. Today, I've finally been able to walk around inside. This place reminds me of when I was young walking the flea market with my late grandfather. THEY HAVE ALMOST EVERYTHING! The entire staff is personable and willing to help/answer your questions. I'll definitely be back due to not being able to walk all the aisles before they closed. Some reviews state that the store is disorganized (obviously due to uncaring customers) But, just like I did, put some items BACK where they belong if/when you can. I personally purchased a record I just happened to see in the open/ wrong spot (All in the family). I never knew nor heard of a record made for that TV show. They have MANY records and "special" recorded that I'll also post in my review pics! VHS tapes, DVDs, 8 tracks etc... Ty all again, I'll definitely be back!

Went shopping in there cause it was recommended to me however it was a clutter everywhere in there. I knew this going in but still very overwhelming. Prices were ridiculous and not a deal at all. Pocket books that were old or in bad condition were still being priced for $5. For having so many books they must not want to make a profit, further when leaving the employees working were very rude. They asked multiple times on our way out for assistance with books or authors after we politely declined. Then after we declined and still chose to leave a woman huffed and rolled her eyes. Later when the rest of my party left they were eyeing them as if they stole and outraged nothing was found in the bookstore. I will never return nor recommend. If anything I will deter and promote other locations I love.

I love finding local used book stores and was really happy to stumble on this one! All of the staff was really nice, very helpful and talkative which I always love when exploring shops like these. The store itself is pretty big and literally stacked to the brim with used books, music, movies and more. My biggest complaint was the store was very disorganized so while there’s a ton of amazing stuff, really old and unique books and rare or out of print finds? It’s kind of difficult to find that stuff in all the piles. Maybe the shelving system makes sense to other people but to me everything was all over the place and the shelves were not labeled clearly enough. I spent just as much time being lost as I did shopping. That being said this store definitely is worth coming to if you are in the area. The staff is great and you’ll definitely leave with a stack of awesome reads!

While I do agree that the staff is super helpful, I don’t really like talking to people lol so I usually prefer to pick out books myself. There were an overwhelming amount of books here it was almost stress inducing ??.

I am so glad I set aside some time to finally explore this amazing and unique bookstore! Stacks and stacks of well-organized publications! Current to antique / rare finds! There are also non-book "treasures" nestled within the stacks and piles. How fun! I could spend HOURS here! Staff is super friendly and helpful! I look forward to returning.

Amazing selection of stuff if you don’t mind paying a lot. Seems like a bougie way to thrift without being around poor people in goodwill.owner reply: I just didnt have the expectation of walking in and spending 50 bucks on a few books and old cds. Your store is amazing, I just wanted to warn others driving 30 minutes to find some deals that this isnt that.

Lots of selections of used paperback books. They have plenty of old DVDs, comic books, and games too, but I'm strictly a vintage paperback reader. That being said, if you too are interested in buying vintage paperbacks with really cool illustrated covers from the 50's-80's then be prepared to pay $7 to $15 per paperback for them. And that's WITH store credit. I understand that they have to charge what they do to keep the lights on. Especially considering their location. Just be prepared to to $hell out more than you're used to for a used book (regardless of the condition). Their staff is friendly as long as you don't complain about the prices, so keep that in mind.
