This place is awesome if your a reader . They have used books for a few $$$ . It’s like a treasure hunt in there though you might not get the exact book you’re looking for but there is something for everyone . I’ve never left over handed . For under $20 cost of 1 book at the big name book store I useally leave with 5-10 books . Thanks guys
Packed with all kinds and topics of books. Don't expect to find exactly what you're looking for but you may be surprised. Love this place!
Love this place. Where do I start? Been going to this place for over 15 years. It is one of the very best Friends of the Library Bookstores out there. Yes. I said it. I've been to Sacramento, LA, Orange County, and several other Friends of the Library Bookstores. When it comes to variety, volume, and prices; this place is cream of the crop. Every few months or so, I'd come in and buy a rather impressive pile of books. Usually science fiction. Ten or twenty paperback and hardbound novels filled with the experience of lifetimes. And every single time I paid; I'd say out loud, "best deal in town," and mean it. Though, I do not read nearly as much these days; I hopped into the place and picked up a couple items just a couple weeks ago. Generally, my purchases come in two forms. Either, I enjoy the book, keep it, knowing I will likely reread it at some time in the future. Or, I know the book is a "one and done" for me. If I know I'm NOT going to keep or reread the book, I'll consider money I paid (usually $1-$2 a book) a rental and just donate the book back to the store. Maybe someone else will get enjoyment out of it. Over the years; I've cycled through well over three hundred books on the conservative end (2 a month over 15 years is 360 books.) A full 5 stars for the place. The people there are nice, the selection is surprisingly large, and just walking into the place takes me back to days long past. Bring up memories of more innocent times when I could just find a gem of a book at this store, curl up in bed, and let myself read through the night.
Huge selection of books, many in other languages, lots of music and art. People here are friendly and helpful. A great place in Stockton!
Best place to find books of all kinds. I never leave empty handed. You never know what treasure you'll find at the Stockton Friends of the Library Bookstore.
