Its a nicely organized book store. Everything was clean and tidy. The lady working there was nice. They have a huge selection. However, I didnt find much in the way of newer books. I also didnt find a good selection of scifi or parnormal fiction, which is what I was looking for.

UPDATE: I received a gift certificate in the mail about a month after this review. My credits should be on my account now, but I haven’t tried to use them yet.This place cheats people out of money!I loved going to The Book Exchange and finding awesome books for affordable prices. I also loved that I could get credits for books that I brought in. After today, I will never buy from them again! I had 15 credits on my account, but when I went up to the register, they said I only had 1 credit left. I said that there must be some mistake because I brought in a huge stack of books and haven’t bought any books since. I don’t think the person ever typed in my credits from the paper I filled out. Now I’ve been cheated out of 15 books that I could have sold or donated elsewhere.

Its got a great selection of newer books, and it feels good to support a local business! You can also trade your books for credit.

Kevin i love your store but your help really need to learn how to treat customers. Excuse me but she was nasty and very rude and disrespectful. I wont be back. She had no right treating me like dirt under her feet. And my granddaugther

Amazing place. Tons of books for killer prices. Great staff. One of my favorite places to visit.

Great selection of books with flat rate pricing based on if it is a small softcover or large softcover, small hardcover or large hardcover. They have used textbooks, fiction, do it yourself, pretty much anything you can think of. Organized very well for the volume and different types of books they have. You never know what youll find in here.

Huge selection of books of all kinds. Helpful staff. You can bring in books you no longer want and get credit towards the books you purchase. They also keep credit on file if you do not use it all at the time. We have had many trips here. My husband and I are both avid readers.

Review β„–22

Great place for a family trip. There are books and magazines for all ages. The prices are very reasonable. If you have an account with book credit you get more of a discount. For my family its better than the library because the selection is amazing and I dont have to worry about returning books on time. Once we finish our books we save them until we have a decent paper bag full then return them for the exchange credit.

The smell of the pages and the chime at the door. The ladies sitting pretty at the counter made me feel welcomed. I had been in there a thousand times and will go back a thousand times. Also check out the hand made jewelery. Gorgeous and inexpensive plus you can tell she puts her all in to creating beautiful pieces. All are unique, every one of them is different and she doesnt duplicate them. In fact I may stop in there tomorrow.

Cozy, and well stocked with books. the music section is very limited which only include CDs. there are no used records here as their website stated. It could just be that there was none in circulation at the moment. Other then that this place is a good location for book collectors.

Wonderful place to visit if you love to read. Exchange your old book you no longer read for new books, then come back and do it again. Great place to get cheap text books as well if you can find them.

Review β„–41

I went in with my little brother and turned in some books, and was told they give me a dollar off for my final purchase for every book I turn in. I said okay and we went and picked out some books. The sign on the wall said 4/3 for hardcovers and 3/2 for paperbacks. I had 4 hardcovers and 3 paperbacks and turned in around 20 books. The price for my books should be just about nothing. Then im told its $41 (including my little brothers $20 worth of books that didnt get the price off) for all the books. I overpayed by a lot and when I went back to get my money back for the books that should have gotten the money off I was told the price was reduced. All of my books were $3 each instead of the price on the wall. 100% would not recommend.

Review β„–43

Big, big store. Lots of variety, but not much curation. Collection reminds me of a library book sale: lots of books; many older, popular titles; lots of outdated stuff that wont move. Not to say there arent treasures - worth checking out.

Its not a place you wanna go if you need to be in and out. I usually clear away 3-4 hours of my schedule before heading in and I love every second of it! The smell and selection are both amazing... The clutter and disorganization on the other hand? Not my favorite, but I can respect the vibe. I wish they had a directory of some sort, but it is still my absolute favorite book store Ive ever been to. Heading there now, as a matter of fact! 😊
