They trade for credit at a better rate than other used bookstores I've known. Achtung, baby! They've got cats -- several of them, all free-roaming. One or two are meanies, and they all urinate freely, leaving that special odor to mingle with the natural moldy scent of decaying books. With this added ... oh, je ne sais quoi, what other bookstore can compare?

It is conveniently located across from the historic train depot in downtown Van Buren, Arkansas. The store boasts, many historic and hard to find books, as well as a great selection of novels and books that you would find in any modern bookstore. The coffee shop offering some food items is very good and quite an enjoyable place to sit down for a break for coffee, and/or refreshments. I really like the feel of the basement when you descend the stairs into the cozy space filled with books in every corner. It's just my kind of spot!

My favorite big bookstore! This is my first time at this location, and it was a nicely stocked and…read moreclean store. The bookstore staff was friendly and helpful. I love their Disney section and their fun gifts although they are quite pricey. They always have a great clearance section too. The coffee shop, Joe Muggs, wasn't as great though. They have changed their menu and no longer have Italian sodas which was a bummer. They did have fun literary themed drinks this visit like Butterbrew from Harry Potter and The Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland, which we tried and liked. My husband thought the brewed coffee wasn't great (lacked flavor and scorching hot) and they had no milk or cream avail on the condiment station. I do wish BM offered a kids program or free rewards program like Barnes and Noble. Most of their discounts seem to be for online or for their paid membership.
