“Nice to find an actual brick and mortar bookstore where you can browse and buy. They have an excellent array of books to choose from, plus gift items. So nice to select a new book and find it in pristine condition instead of something you order online that comes in crushed packaging, with damaged cover, crumpled pages or maybe even a dirty tread mark from a tennis shoe inside.”
“Usually love going and would give 5 stars, but went the other day and my husband asked if they had anything of what we were looking for and the two older women in the front were super rude about it. They had just sold out of it which is fine, but were glaring and said “too bad”, then looked at each other and laughed at us for even asking. Not a big deal, just has never been that way before. I get it, people ask a lot of questions in the day, but they signed up for that.”

“Personally, I have mainly transitioned to audio books, but as far as physical book stores go, this is quite nice. Massive quantity of used books, very maze like and much bigger than you expect. I didn't even make it down to the basement.”
“Yesterday was my first time at The Book Rack. Sam was working and she was incredibly helpful. She was so kind and genuine. My 6 year old son also adored her. I loved the amount of nostalgic books that they carried as well. I can’t wait to return for more books ♥️”

“I came in looking for a specific cross God had given me a vision of but I received the love & comfort of a heart felt conversation with the business owner. Grateful he took the time & asked me questions and listened. The store is very cozy and has evening hours which is helpful for people working. The owner took my information and let me know he would contact me if he had the cross I had been looking for. Please consider visiting the store and supporting local businesses owners.”
