    I have always likes this book store. The only negative comment here comes from someone who uses a cartoon character for a profile picture.

    Wonderful staff and cozy feel, but the limited selection you'd expect from a small bookstore. Prices don't seem much better than retail.

    I'm not in the area, but I just bought a book from them over the phone. Very friendly!

    What a neat little place! My girlfriend had been wanting to check this place out for some time…read morenow. I'll say, the entrance is a bit sketchy. I thought we were going into meet Tommy No Thumbs in the back of a fish market or something lol. $1.50 per book can't be beat!

    I've heard about this for awhile but when I realized we were only a couple of miles away, I knew it…read morewas time. We had to go check out the legend of a massive warehouse of books hidden inside a deceptively industrial area. The entrance and parking lot for Dollar Book Swap are located in the back of the warehouse block they are in, and there are two ways to access the back. One "road" if one shall loosely call it that, is gravely and filled with massive potholes making for an adventurous ride. The road on the other side of the building also gets you to the same place... but it's paved and in good condition... choose your own adventure! Then it's through a door that opens up into... a massive warehouse space. Keep going and then you'll see them. Books. Everywhere. Shelves, giant boxes, display areas, library carts.... all full of books. There is also a DVD section. Smaller rooms open up off of the spaces, one with children's books, another a mystery/suspense room with, fittingly, a taped outline on the floor. There's even a corner space with food items. The vast majority of books are $1.25, with some exceptions, like the step into reading style books 2 for $1.25 or the bags of children's books you can fill for $10 a bag. The selection is a mix of new and used, and as one might expect, it just depends on what they have in stock at the time of your visit. It's a fun adventure to comb the shelves. Check all the nooks and crannies... there's a "book cave" in another corner. Service was friendly and efficient to check out. Fun place to explore if you're in the area.
