    You walk inside and there are books EVERYWHERE. This is my favorite type of bookstore- where every…read morenook and cranny has a treasure and you can spend a whole day investigating what they have. They were also so nice!

    Somebody tell me how this place has been in its current location for 20 years yet my husband and I…read morenever noticed it until last week?! This is everything I want in a used bookstore. It's not slick like a Half-priced Books location, and it is packed with treasure. Mostly decent prices for 2024 and although I would say the science fiction section is either small or hard to find because it's mixed in with a lot of fantasy, it does have one and I bought some things I'm really happy about finding. I even found something from my to-read list that I didn't think I was going to be able to. I also found a copy of an Anthony Trollope book I've wanted to read for a long time, but couldn't find in the libraries I've tried. My husband went straight for the Christmas section and added some really lovely things to our collection. There's no place to sit, but the very nice person working there (the owner, I think) allowed me to rest my bad back in one of her desk chairs. I wish I had known about this place when I had more people to buy books for, but I'm thrilled to have found it now and I can't wait to go back. Next time, I will treat my best friend to a visit here.

    I love this bookstore location and the staff is great. But today there is an elderlly couple…read moresitting just outside the cafe area, conversing loudly. AND they have their pet with them. What about customers who are allergic to pet hair? No doubt this couple would allege this is a support dog of some sort, which is a slap in the face to all those with a genuine need for a support dog. This looks like an expensive breed of some kind and groomed in a very high-end way. Seems more like a vanity pet than a support animal. Cab the manager politely ask the couple to sit outside? Or at cease the loud conversation? Not a pleasant place to browse in anticipation of shopping, not today.

    So I never thought this would be a good place to take my semi toddler. My son is 5 and on the…read morespectrum. To get away from screen time I figured we can go to Barnes and Noble because he does enjoy the feel Of a good book. It was great. Spacious, organized and fully staffed was just what the doctor ordered. The children's section was huge, there was a ton of seating and the selection was diverse and hit all his favorites. He has the building blocks of reading so it was great to see him maneuver among the educational and entertainment books. Got some looks that weren't so generous from staff but that's just a part of ppl in general not being aware of what autism is. It's in a metroplex so there's plenty parking and no notable boundaries to those with disabilities. Will be back!

    I somehow managed to not notice this store right next to Krispy Kreme until I'd walked past it…read moreprobably half a dozen times. Guess I was focused on getting to donuts, but I'm glad I finally noticed it and now I stop in whenever I'm in the area. It's a smallish space, but well organized with a wide selection of genres. It's primarily books, but they also have DVDs and a small CD section. There are a few stepstools scattered around to help you reach the items on the higher shelves which I appreciate as a not super tall person. I find the CD section difficult to shop though, as it's on lower shelves and even with my glasses on it's tricky to read the small type on the cases near the floor. The employees are friendly and polite and always happy to help if you're looking for a specific title. I've only ever purchased here, but they also take items for trade-in, although you need to make an appointment for that. The prices are generally in line with other used bookstores in the area. Definitely sign up for their e-mail list, as they frequently send out discount codes. Unlike some used bookstores I frequent, I don't always leave here with a find, but I often come across a book on my TBR list at a good price.

    As with so many other smart used bookstores, they have a "bargain" cart up front with $2.50 for…read moreone, 3 for $6. I easily found 3 I wanted within a few minutes, then went back looking in the Middle East section for some titles that might help a subject I'm studying at the moment. The place is laid out very neatly, but the titles are arranged in the careless way that you want and love in a used bookstore, allowing you to dig for treasures on your own, albeit within neatly defined genres. Friendly staff, and they will buy from you by appointment and offer you double the store credit they would offer in cash. May have to stop by again soon. :-)
