First timer to the Book Trader this afternoon, and I was impressed! Not only with the layout and selection, but the prices! I will be back :)

This place is the coolest. We were in from out of town and just wandering around on a Thursday morning. Book Trader was one of the very few places open, and I love books, so it was perfect. When you walk in, you feel like Belle, entering the Beast's library. Books everywhere you look, from floor to ceiling, and everything is maticilously organized. I had nothing particular in mind to get, so I just started browsing.I spied a large collection of Hardy Boy books and remembered a friend was collecting them. I pulled a number of them I knew they were missing. A staff member saw what I was doing and let me know that if there were any more in the series I was looking for but couldn't find up front, she could check in the back. Sure enough, they had another 4 or 5 that I needed! As I paid, the staff member let me know that if there were more in the series my friend needed, that they could contact the store and they could keep and eye out for those numbers and hold them for them. Because we were purchasing so many books (34 in total) they offered a discount, which was greatly appreciated!Needless to say, I was blown away by the atmosphere, superb staff, and overall love of books. I live an hour away but will be planning another road trip to come back soon. This place is a gem.

A wonderful place to find old and used books. I went in looking for a specific and slightly obscure book and they had it!

If you like to read. They have a little bit of everything. You can go in there and just pick one off the shelf and be surprised. Or you can go in there armed with your favorite author. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Sometimes you come out with something you didn't expect you were gonna get. Make a request ahead of time, and they will help you find that one you were looking for. I recommend you check it out.
