This is a great used bookstore located inside the Quincy Public Library. Most paperback books are…read more$1 each, and they often have some books on sale for 50 cents or half price. There are romance, science fiction, and other novels as well as non-fiction books and cookbooks. There are even some audiobooks and DVDs. The books and items sold are from donations and older library inventory. They also make coffee, hot chocolate and cappucino for cheap. Proceeds benefit the library.

Excellent treasure of a used bookstore. Like any, you never know what you will find here…read more Hardbacks are a little too pricey; however, trade and mass market paperbacks are priced nicely. Each month there are specials; for example, July might be everything starting with the letter M is half off. Wish they were open on Mondays.

I really liked this bookstore, in particular their selection of gift type items and that they have…read moreused books too. But I was taken aback by the unwelcoming greeting to two teenage girls. They were essentially greeted with a "you can't be here without a parent" right away. The poor girls had to explain their mom was parking and would be right there. I get that kids can create a mess, but maybe greeting them warmly first, then explaining the store policy, would work better. I am not sure I would want to buy anything in the store if I was one of those teens.

Everytime I travel I do my best to find an independent bookstore to visit and buy a book (or more!)…read morefrom. I was passing through Quincy on the way home and saw this one on the route and it looked cute in the pictures! The shop had a good selection of new and used books and accessories and gifts! However, not once did the lady behind the counter say a word to me. No welcome to the store. No check in while browsing. She checked someone out and didn't really talk to them and then picked up her book and started reading. No thanks for visiting in the way out. Shocking she was a little bit older than me so "should know better" with customer service. I'm not looking for much - just a hello. I found a few books I would have purchased but I'll save my money for someone who gives a darn.

Great little bookstore on an adorable street downtown. Person working who might be the owner was…read morevery friendly and let me roam around in my own. Loved their book selection as well as the atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

While in a city I don't come to much, I look for used bookstores. I was in Columbia, MO I found…read morethis used bookstore and thought Awesome! Now I can trade in these gently used books (about 3 walmart bags). And they were mostly well known authors. The owner (manager?) did not want Any of them. That's when I noticed that his stock was all hippie dippy woke CRAP..so I guess for those of you readers out there that enjoy this kind of time and energy wasting nonsense, you probably think of this as a great place to go to, I don't. You do you!

Very friendly staff. Quincy doesn't have many good book stores, but this one is a keeper. It's…read moreowned by locals and although the books are used, they have a great collection. I can almost always find the book that I am looking for when I go there. They also charge 1/2 of the retail price (for paperbacks anyways) which is a great deal! When you are done with the book, they do buy backs as well but unfortunately they don't pay much for them. GREAT place though!

Every time we visit, we are more excited about the merchandise and the fun staff. If you are…read morelooking for liberal, quirky, fun...this is the place.

They are liars and make up stories, even about volunteers. People who don't ask for payment, and…read moreare willing to give them their time to help out, and they talk about them derogatorily as soon as your back is turned. Don't give them any of your business. The store name is completely misleading, as they're not about peace in any way. Mark is especially rude, as well as passive-aggressive. They are just not a place to waste your money.

Limited hours, but worth finding the time and arranging the afternoon around a visit. Don't come…read morehere looking for something specific. Just browse and see what finds your hand. There is something here for everyone.

if you haven't been to adam's books, go already! it's only open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on saturdays…read more the books are a bit overpriced, but the sheer number and variety makes it worth it to at least check it out. this used to be along my walk from my house to mu's campus and the window displays were a source of daily entertainment for me. among the walls (literally, floor to ceiling) of books, you will likely find some gems. my favorite purchase here was a misogynistic '70s guide book called 'how to pick up women in discos.' i also scored a bunch of primary source material for my undergraduate history thesis here. the lady who works there is super funny and helpful and most importantly is open (sort of) to haggling on book prices. if you plan on purchasing something, be sure to have your checkbook or cash handy, because they don't accept credit/debit.

Jinx is now Well Read Books. I finally made it over to Fulton to check it out…read more It looks like a different store! The piles of books are gone. It's organized. There are signs for the different section. Staff (owner?) was friendly and helpful. I took some books to trade in and about half of what I brought was accepted, which is better than at some stores. I got an old paperback copy of a book I've been seeking in stores for a couple of years. There was good variety in the store and a nice local/Missouri history section. The cat is still there, so I'm happy as can be with Well Read Books. I will make a point of visiting again soon in the future.
