This is a lovely little used bookstore that I’ve been going to since I was little. They have a variety of books and sections as well as CDs, DVDs, records, and puzzles. The staff is very friendly, made up of I believe volunteers both young and old. The whole atmosphere is so cute and friendly. Great LOW PRICES. Will definitely come here again and again!

One of the reasons why I stumbled into this place was by curiosity, while my niece was attending her gymnastics class. I have to say that the atmosphere and the people at this bookstore are very welcoming and helpful 😀, they have an extensive book selections on many genres.

What a great service for a big family like mine. We use it a lot for books of course, magazines, videos and they even have vinyl there as well. Today's visit netted nearly 20 books from Steinbeck, to Michener, to children's and young adults books as well as 5 videos all for $37.00. We also take our old books, magazines and videos in exchange for credit. Truly a wonderful program for recyclers and planet conscious folks. We are blessed to have them in our neighborhood.

I have shopped at this store for quite a while now and this bookstore never disappoints. They do have a section of newer books closer to the front and those books tend to be a bit on the pricier side for used books. I found a recent mystery for $9 which is a bit much but I usually look through all the other sections. Ive found great conditioned hard backs for 2-3 dollars. The staff is always incredibly courteous and will help whenever possible. There selection is decent and I enjoy coming back to see what new books they have on their shelves. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for their next read.

It's a fairly well organized used book store that supports a good cause. However it is staffed by volunteers and so some are more helpful than others. Some are just rude. Good prices, decent selection and variety.

The staff are very friendly and bubbly :) The books are reasonably priced. I purchased five books for little under $10, which sounds like a bomb deal to me haha. They offer a wide selection of young adult novels, children's books, informative books, vinyls, DVDs, classic novels etc. However, you may find their graphic novels, manga, educational books and materials, and photography selections limited, but it is understandable because those are hard to come across in general sense, and even more so at a used book store.

If you haven't been there you are missing out. They offer more than just books. Record albums, CDs, cassettes, jigsaw puzzles a cornucopia of interesting stuff CHEAP! You can also donate any of the above items. The only drawback is their limited hours. But once you figure that out it's worth the time

After months of living in Stockton, I found this treasure! A great place where you can find rare gems like Patti Smith's 'Just Kids' or King Crimson's 'Discipline'... And while you Are doing it, you are helping the local library system. They also take donations on M, F, S - 10-12 of the following: - Books in good condition - No encyclopedias - No textbooks older than 4 years - No magazines older than 2 years

PROS: Very nice facility... helpful people there... ample parking... near the Express 43 Bus Stop. CONS: Has the familiar "old books" smell that some people dislike. OVERALL: Highly recommended! ☆☆☆☆☆
