I love this place. It reminds me of half priced books in Columbus. It smells like old books and the way it’s organized is decently easy to follow, prices are also very good. :) if you like books you should come here.

Books In Stock covers a very wide range of topics over two floors, and it covers them with a wide selection of books. Most are in new or almost new condition, and prices are very fair (usually 8-14 dollars). Great little store!

Best used book store I’ve been to in a long time. Selection is huge for all ages, great prices, nice layout, cute and cozy, and the staff is very friendly.

This place is dope. I realized when I got there I had been there a few years before, but it was still as cool as I remembered it. A lot of the things I found (which ended up being a lot, all used books — none rare) were priced a little higher than I might find them elsewhere, but there were a lot of rare titles I cannot find anywhere else and they were in very good condition (despite being older paperback classics) so I did not mind. This is also considering that the store has a pretty big footprint with a lot of titles. Will definitely come back in the future.

This is just the best used book store! Its large enough to have lots of interesting stuff bit small enough that you dont feel lost. And it smells just the way used book store should.

Review №18

No mask no service. 👎🏼 I’ll take my money elsewhere. Nobody was even in the place. Maybe y’all ought to look up how covid is even transmitted.... you’d have to be in close proximity to somebody with the active virus for an extended period of time..... 1-2 HOURS. You are giving up business for literally NO reason.

Review №21

Stopped in over my lunch break to look through this large used book store. Worth a stop for any bookworm. I was hoping for a larger classics/philosophy/poetry section, but I still found a book that was on my wishlist, so definitely worth the stop.Prices are what you would expect; half the price of the MSRP.But I couldnt find a single copy of Beowulf! 😭Definitely will be back.

Review №28

Phenomenal place for all bibliophiles. Well worth any time, effort, or energy invested in making this a destination visitation. When you walk in the first sight are rows and rows of books and the smell that captures you is the essence that only true Book Lovers will love and appreciate. The staff and service are friendly and helpful and work at finding what you are requesting. Very rarely does one walk out without a new book to explore. Easy to do when there are almost 90,000 books to choose from!

I love this place to find used books. The selection is fantastic. They get a lot of good books, and collections in here. They have toys for the little ones to play with also as you browse which is very helpful. They also have a nice selection for kids and teens. Everything is categorized so its easy to find what your looking for.

Review №31

You can find some very rare things here from time to time. The staff have always been nice and very helpful. They are within walking distance of the center of old district downtown Wooster. You have a few coffee shops close by. Too bad they cant re organize the store and add a coffee shop to the store would be a nice addition to it. Great gem in a cool older town.

Review №35

My husbands first language is Spanish, love that they have a small foreign language book section! Some of the prices are high on the books, selling an old book for half price of a brand new one. I just dont buy those, unless I absolutely need it. They also have a lot of Stephen Kings older books. Tried buy one at other book store in Wooster, but they would have had to order it. Books in stock had several copies for a fraction of the price of a new copy

Next level review for a next level bookstore:had NO idea a REAL bookstore of this quality, with this ambiance and selection, lived in my backyard. True - it was love at first sight but our love is now ... an eternal love - deeper and more pure than any connection I could have with a mortal. This bookstore and I are ... forever. Never close. Never change. #EndlessBookstoreLove

Review №44

First of all, this store covers the book’s barcode with their own, so I had to peel all of them off so that I could scan the books for my classroom library. AND GUESS WHAT I FOUND!!!! The price for the USED books were higher than the NEW price on many of them. I’m furious, and I feel betrayed. I live in Louisville so I can’t return them. I made a special trip to this store when I was passing through. The owner is a crook! Don’t go here!!

Books In Stock is a wonderful gem in the Wooster community. They have a huge variety of books on every topic and in every genre. If you cant find something, theyll help you look for it. I would highly suggest grabbing a book off the shelve and settling down on one of the many chairs and making a day of it!

My husband and I love this book store. There are so many books to go through, we could spend hours in the store if we had the time! I frequently buy used music books and sheet music here and my kids love to pick out new bedtime stories. The prices are great!
