Annie's Book Stop is a fantastic local book store providing both used & new books. If the owner,…read moreAndrea, doesn't have what you are looking for she will order it. It usually comes in within a couple days. The prices are good, never full list price (new books are usually 20% off, used are 50% off list price), and the condition of the used books is usually very good. I've gotten children's books, young adult novels, books for required reading in college lit classes, sci fi, horror, noir, chick lit, graphic novels, etc. at Annie's. Pretty much any genre you're looking for, she has. There are even out of print titles, so check here if you can't find something at one of the big chains. Ask for help finding your book & Andrea will always know exactly where what your looking for is. I think she uses the force. Where do all the used books come from? The customers. You can bring in any paper back books & get credit to use on your purchase. The credit never expires, but you have to keep track of your slip because there's no way to look it up. If you're anything like me, you might want to use your credit right on the spot to prevent losing out on savings. One more thing: if you bring in a truck load of books don't expect the store to take all of them at once. Apparently there's a limit (not a set in stone one, but whatever) to how many trades they'll take a day. This protects the bottom line, I guess. And if that's what it takes to have a cool little bookstore in Beverly, it's worth it. Still 5 stars. Almost forgot: it's right across from the North Beverly T stop & Nick's Roast Beef (yum). Parking is out back and there is a 2nd entrance back there. Go get some books!

Unfortunately, they had nothing from my list, but I enjoyed perusing what they did have, as long as my hubby would let me. They have many glass display cases filled with smaller items.

Hopefully, if I ever became a local, she would eventually warm up to me.

Don't waste your time driving here if you're interested in any of the rare or collectible books…read moreshown on their website. I collect rare books, first editions, signed books, and other collectible editions. After browsing this store's website, I was excited to visit because I saw several books that were on my want list. I made a 90-minute drive on my day off and arrived with cash in hand, fully prepared to purchase several books. Only after arriving did I learn that none of the rare or valuable books shown on the website are actually kept in the store. Apparently, anything rare or valuable is removed from the shop and stored at the owner's home. There is no clear warning about this on the website. The books are individually photographed and presented as the store's inventory, so naturally I assumed I would actually be able to see them when visiting the store. I essentially drove 90 minutes for nothing. I've visited hundreds of bookstores across the country and have never encountered anything quite like this. The entire concept is baffling to me. If I'm considering spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a rare book, I want to see the actual book. I want to examine the dust jacket, check the boards, look at the pages, and judge the overall eye appeal of that particular copy. That's a huge part of buying collectible books and, frankly, one of the primary reasons to visit a physical bookstore rather than simply ordering online. A bookstore advertising rare books that customers apparently cannot actually see at the bookstore is absurd. At the absolute minimum, the website should clearly and prominently state that the rare and collectible inventory shown online is stored off-site and is not available for viewing at the store. Had that been disclosed, I obviously would not have wasted three hours of my day making the round trip. The store itself is fine if you're looking for ordinary used books. But if you're a serious collector who saw something on their website and is considering making a trip to see it in person, don't bother unless you call ahead and confirm that the book will actually be there.
