The guy working the counter is super chill and welcoming, which instantly sets a great vibe the second you walk in. Honestly, the selection is insane.. they have a ton of brand-new books for basically a fraction of the regular price, so you always end up walking out with some incredible, unexpected finds. It's easily one of my favorite places to slow down and just browse whenever I'm in the area.

The space is a bit packed and unpolished, but that's exactly what makes it interesting--you never know what you'll find tucked between the shelves. It has a quiet, slightly nostalgic vibe, perfect for slowing down and browsing. Not a place for quick visits, but definitely worth it if you enjoy the hunt.

The teacher did not provide any of the author's names. The kindly proprietor listened to the name of the book, then he rhymes off the author and looked together with us in the right place in this adorable crammed to the brim shop. We found most of what we wanted at a fraction of the cost of new. Some of the books were adorably aged. We will definitely return at a later date. Amazing service, great shop.

It is great if you are looking for some popular old novels, like a whole series of Stephen King books, or Black Daggers Brotherhood. I bought a few paperback at $4 each. I am told they will take your used books and give credits. They only accept paperback as hardcover takes up too much space. I can understand that. I plan to bypass hardcover novels from now on, so my collection has resale value.

While both are polar opposites on many levels, they both have lots of used books and helpful owners. The Book Exchange is extremely semective about the books they buy and sell.
