Jammed Pack with books!Pro: This place has a wide selection of books and will be hard not to find something of your liking.Con: They widely advertise that they'll buy your books, but 9/10 times will say that they are not buying at that time and will offer store credit on an account you have to make first.Overall, great library ?

This is the COOLEST and biggest book store I’ve been to! They have everything and it’s well organized and so fun to look through. We spent hours looking through everything! 10/10 fantastic experience and the pricing is great!

I had passed by this place a couple times and put it on my “to visit” list, and I finally got to stop in today! I didn’t bring in my reusable bag with me because I didn’t know what I was walking into.. but I definitely should have! I ended up with an armful of books in a short amount of time. They have an awesome thriller/suspense section along with a great YA section. Quality of books I purchased were great! I got a couple of books from a newer series in the YA section and they looked brand new, for half the price. I’ll definitely have to bring a couple bags with me next time, because there were sections I didn’t get to check out this time. The employees also give you lots of space and don’t make you feel rushed or pressured, they just let you explore! Thrifty Peanut has become my new favorite bookstore!

If you need to find your favorite author stop by and visit. They have a very BIG SELECTION of books to choose from. The employee's were very nice and friendly. They told me where to look and I found what I was looking for. They helped me carry my selection of books from the shelf to the register and the to my vehicle. Will definitely be a regular and bring my old books to them. Thanks for all your help ladies. May God bless you all.

Great place for second hand books, vinyl, DVDs, CDs, magazines. They buy books and vinyl - they give you store credit for 50% off future purchases. Our elementary aged kids love stopping in for a "book treat."

A slew of books, etc. with good organization and helpful staff. You can also bring in your books that you have read and don’t know what to do with them next and join the point system that has been set up. Books are slightly used and in good condition with excellent pricing. ❤️

BOOKS FOR CASH *(as they advertise) IS A SCAM.Despite the website advertising cash for books, and the sign saying buy, sell, trade, they don't actually offer cash. I called on a Monday like the website said to tell them I was dropping off a box of books and was told come on in. When I arrive, I was asked if I wanted my box back and if I wanted to wait or shop. I asked how long the wait would be and was told "oh at least a day or two to process them all". I shopped around but had to go back to work. They asked for my name and phone number and put it on a sticky note.... so I called back on Wednesday (to give them plenty of time). I was told on this phone call that they don't buy books and she transferred me to another lady. That lady must have been the manager or owner or something but she was rude and made me feel as though the miscommunication was entirely my fault. I tried to point out that when I called Monday they did not tell me they didn't buy books. She asked me if I made sure to tell the ladies in the store because there were 6 girls there and I had probably spoken to someone different on the phone and the ladies in store didn't know who I was or that I had even called. She asked several times who I spoke to and worked with. She basically just told me that the money is in a trade in account and 99% of the time only offer only trade in store credit for books. She assured me the money doesn't expire (thank God for that.) But that it would just sit there waiting on me. And apparently the store credit only covers half the cost of the books in store. She said my books had been processed and there wasn't a record of what I had so there was nothing she could do.And let's not forget to mention that the inside of the store had little to no organization or signage to indicate where books would be. The upstairs is a half floor with a few small rooms and a poor selection of fantasy books. Or at least poor organization to know where to find then.

This place is operating a scam when it come to selling books. My wife and I too between 20 and 30 books to sell. We were very clear about we are selling the books. We were told it would take time for them to process a day or so and that we should call back. Which is strange. When my wife called back she was transferred several times and ended up speaking to a lady who engaged in gaslighting suggesting ny wife didn't tell the workers she was selling the books. My told them several times what our intentions were. They then told her they aren't buying books and thay we have $58 in store credit and we cant get about books back. This place is a scam and is falsely advertising.

Don't expect cash for most books.Came to the store with several books in good shape expecting what the website stated: "SHOULD I GET CASH OR STORE CREDIT? We leave that up to you! But do know that store credit is usually 30-50% more than the cash offer."The fine print is that this is not up to you. Instead, I was told that I would not be able to get cash for my books. Only store credit. Furthermore, the store credit could only be applied to 50% of my purchase.I brought two bags full of books and they gave me 32$ of store credit for them. I still had to shell out 5$ to get the one book I wanted. This was a terrible experience. I would have been 100% OK with this if the website was very clear about what their policies were.

This is the coolest place in Shreveport to kill a few hours shopping. Their selection of books and other media is amazing! Nothing beats a book store with an endless array of books.

Great place to find recent and old books! Good prices. They also have a trade system as well that you can use to build store credit.

Great store! Frequent this place quite a bit!!! Almost once a month! Have a great array of books at awesome prices. Of course these books are either previously owned or secured from other vendors, but because they are older books, the value of the purchases are reduced considerably. For me, the older books are quite resourceful, given what it is that I am looking for. I believe that it has something for everybody --- cookbooks, pet books, children books, history books, finance books, health books, religious books, etc. A gold mine!
