Not only did Ella Kate start me a fire to provide me warmth, she also cooked me a multiple course meal, picked up my car using her pure strength and carried it over to the closest auto mechanic to be fixed (she payed for everything), bought me a house, scheduled an all inclusive resort stay for October 16-21 for the both of us, and offered me her first born child. I am very content with the service I received here today! :)

One thing that struck me as amazing was the membership you can get! It's $10/mo or $99/yr and you get 40% off all of their bestselling books (rotates weekly), 20% off everything else, and free drip coffee! If you're a big book buyer, that is soooo worth it! Or if you just love visiting coffee shops, the coffee would be worth it! They have several little tables and chairs around where you can perch to do some work. I just love how local everything is in here. Some art gifts, coffee table books, non-fiction, etc. They have a great website, too!

Religious books and DVDs and CDs. They want you to buy a tote for 1$ at checkout which I declined. They don't have bags so if you go bring your own Two bins were marked free; however I didn't look in them. I didn't rate them higher because of the mixture of quality meaning brand new is moved in with used whereas I'm used to booklegger where everything is 50 % off the list price and a better value. Also I think they should have bags for your purchases. It's a big sntorr and it's not arranged to quickly find what you want. Plan to roam around. Picked up some things for mom and the grands. Probably won't go back.

NOT, I repeat, NOT worth your gas money in an attempt to sell OR get store 'credit' for your books…read more I had read that they only give $.50 on the dollar. I went up on Amazon, found the USED price for each book, cut that in half...and, took $120 worth of books in for sale. Their OFFER was $4 cash and about $6 in-store credit. If you have the time and energy, go up on E-Bay and find your same books that have SOLD, and deduct them off on your taxes. E-Bay is considered FMV for your items. Otherwise, take them to your local library (Friends of the Library Store - a 501(c)3 or Thrift Store. The worst practice of this store is that they make you an offer...and, if you don't respond in 24hrs, it goes to in-store credit. Laughable if you're selling -just another gimmick to KEEP your books for their own profit. Even if you accepted their offer, you have to come IN-PERSON as the e-mail/text does NOT contain the offer. Again, a gimmick to KEEP your books for THEIR profit.

Tons of books, coffee mugs, greeting cards, Jim Shore items, an excellent selection of Willow Tree items including several versions of the entire Nativity Scene! They also have a small-ish selection of tee-shirts, and a huge selection of books of course, including Bibles. They engrave books/Bibles here, also. They sell items for church services, too, such as communion wafers, cups, and trays for the Eucharist and for a nice gift for your favorite Priest, they have a really nice travelling Eucharist kit. This is a fun place to browse, in an older strip mall by McDonalds.

If…read moreyou love to hunt through old vintage books and random antiques, then you have to stop in and look at this place. This is one of those antique store/used bookstores that are nice and old looking and little dusty in a good way, that gives you that hope as you hunt through the books and treasures, of the possibilities of what you may find. It's kind of like that small excitement you get when passing a yard sale, thinking that you should stop and look because you might be passing by something that might be great.

Come in cool weather, as the place is not air conditioned. Some very narrow aisles, so I wouldn't bring small children. Located in the small but historic Hornbuckle Garage building. If you're into old books, it can be well worth a stop when you're in Owens Cross Roads, if you can find it.
