Bargain Book World has gently used books (no new ones), CDs, bookmarks, and some little novelty items. For nearly 7 years, they're located on the bottom floor next to Macy's men's store. The staff chat with each other and allow you to roam. You can donate or sell an acceptable book (pretty good shape) to them for 20¢ credit. I would advise to get lost in the different sections. Around every corner, I found a book I assumed was a different genre. Most books are in author's last name order but not always. read more

Bargain Book World - kids + books - Bookstores Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

Went for first time out of curiosity . They have a lot of books and all good condition. Surprised at the variety of things i saw. I found almost entire collection of vintage disney and sesame street hardcover books from late 80s and my kids love it! I bought all 20! They dont make books and illustrations like they used to anymore, and was nostalgic to see these books and share w my kids now! Will visit often' read more

Nit many actual book stores left out there. You have to really sift through a bit but great prices and selections.

I absolutely love this store. I must visit every single time I go to the mall and sometimes I go to the mall just to come here. The books are priced very reasonably and they honestly do have a very good section. Most of the more popular books will be snatched up pretty quickly but I've still found some very popular books for very affordable prices. Part of it is definitely luck based. You have to be willing to really hunt through their shelves. I've gotten a lot of nice finds this way. Also, the shelves facing the outside of the store as well as the shelves next to the cash registers tend to have some popular reads as well. The people who work here are very nice but, it's the type of store where the employees don't always know what they have. And I don't believe that they have inventory of the titles they carry in their computer system either. I've heard the workers tell customers that "IF they have that specific book, it'd be in this particular section." I personally enjoy hunting through the shelves but that's just me. Most books range from $1 to $5. Usually the more popular titles are $4 or $5. I think if you want to sell your own books to them they'll give store credit instead of cash. They have most genres you could imagine here. They even have some books in different languages (Chinese, for example) and books using larger sized text. The store is very quiet and peaceful. Perfect for book hunting. I've gotten many great titles here! So if you aren't looking for something In particular but just want to find something to read and have an open mind, take a look. If you are looking for a particular author but don't mind which title, you might also get lucky here. However, if you're really looking for a very popular and specific title, you might be better off looking in Barnes n noble. read more

Great selection of books at really great prices. The employee was very helpful with finding some books for me too.

If you are a bookworm, you are going to love this place. I have tried to read e-books, but it just wasn't the same. I don't get the satisfaction of reading e-books versus holding an actual book. I used to be very snobby about books and preferred totally brand new ones. I read so many books so quickly, that buying new books adds up very fast. I happened to stumble upon this place during my Christmas shopping, and noticed that there were very many books that looked totally brand new for a much more affordable price. I walked out with a huge stack ranging from 3 to 5 dollars each. This place is a must visit. I hope they never leave the mall. Lots of books under different genres and ages. They even had some antique books. Take a look and find your next read. You won't regret it. read more

This store is such a gem! Everything was organized nicely and the owner was extremely helpful! I will definitely be back on the regular!

Very friendly staff and they took my book donation on the spot. I liked the vibe and I loved the big selection they had of a variety of books. read more

This place was located in the Shops at Mission Viejo on the lower level. I went in here to spend time while my friend shopped. They have many used books in here as well as DVDs. I just grabbed a few books my other friend wanted and paid. There was no line. read more

Top Notch bargain book store. Everything is well organized by subject matter and author. Many books appear to be brand new while most are used but still in good shape. Fantastic Children's book section. Think how great it is to get a 16.95 or 24.95 book for THREE DOLLARS or even Two Dollars or One Dollar. If they have what you want, the prices are unbeatable. The lady who helped us in the Main Place store was so helpful and pleasant. It was a great experience shopping in this store. read more

Loved Browsing thru the books at this store. Huge variety and great pricing. My son and daughter also found books they enjoyed!

Great prices. True condition descriptions. I order my kids school books here when they are available. We've been very happy with them.

I love this place! Books are organized so well and the deals are fantastic. Best place to find used books. I've gotten some of my favorite books here and it always inspires me to pick up something I may have not been willing to get if I was paying full price. Check this place out! read more

This is a great place! It's located right by the men's Macy's in the Mission mall and across from old navy. It's big, organized, and has a large selection of books. They have best selling fiction, health books, travel books, paperback romance, comics, children's book, and even some crates of records. All the books are clearly marked with how much they cost, and the prices certainly live up to the name. The lady at the front is also very nice and welcoming. It's so great to have a store like this around here read more

Oh my goodness! I wish I have one of these in Vegas! Bookstores are already underrated but bargain bookstore are a godsend! If you pick up and finish at least one book a year, you need to make a stop and go there. You'll find something to read at a great price! What else can beat knowledge at a discounted price?? read more

I love coming here regularly for finding great adult & children books at an extremely competitive price.

Ok, this place is awesome. I grew up with book stores inside shopping malls. Hated when that died. To have this gem in my local mall is terrific. Great selection, almost all $1 or $2. Lovely owner. Bravo. I love this store, as do my kids. read more

This is a nice store that I would highly recommend. There is a wide selection of used books, both hard cover and paper back. The best part is how well they are organized. If you know your author(s), you'll easily find the book your looking for and probably a few more. The prices are very reasonable. I picked up 4 like-new paperbacks for under $5. read more

Loved this book store very much. The books were wonderful and totally affordable. The girl responsible for the store was really friendly and nice and helped me find the suitable book for my daughter. I will definitely return read more

I love this book store! I came here to look for children's books with my son. He's not the easiest to shop with, so we had to make our visit quick. While looking I was also looking for some historical books by Paul Johnson. The employee at the time asked if I needed help and I asked if she had anything I was looking for. She said she would look for any books by Johnson, while I handled my son (he was going crazy at the time). She did a thorough search in her history section. It must have been five minutes of searching until I told her that it's okay if they didn't have anything. But she proceeded and kept looking. She didn't give up. We collected some children's books and checked out at the counter. I thanked the employee for working so hard to find the author I was looking for. Super nice of her to do that while shopping with my kid. read more

Low price, friendly salespeople, various topics... highly recommended

I love this place. I was looking for a good bargain book store to donate old books to. What I love about this place is that they have never turned any of my books away. I can see this reflected by the titles on the shelves as well. They may not have all the most modern books, but they definitely have some great gems from lesser-known authors. I am a huge fan of their cookbooks from the 90's which have recipes that are unmatched by the most recent recipes from current cookbooks. Stop by and check it out! read more

Loved this place! They had so many book options that were marked at a great prices. Very well managed establishment.

A ton of books. Very nice store. Clean and doesn't smell like old books also. They are on the first floor next to Macy's furniture and t mobile, across from old Navy and HM read more
