If you love books, you have to check this place out! They carry all genres, all ages, new, used, vintage, rare, fiction, non-fiction and more. You can also bring your used books here for trade incentives. Very organized and easy to shop even with the massive selection. The staff is friendly and helpful; curbside pickup is available. I would visit every day if I could!

More than meets the eye is a common motto used here. Small spot next to a restaurant and a coffee shop. Quite a long building and tall shelves. Only one worker but she greeted me when I came in while helping another customer. Wandered around to see all the sections. After helping the customer she came to find me and asked if I needed help with anything. So very friendly which is always nice. Books are well organized and if you need help just simply ask. They rent new books and have DVDs/blue ray (very small section). If you bring in books to trade you get a better bang for your buck deal.

Cool little bookstore. Give yourself some time to browse here. The boxes in the back room are disorganized but I found some stuff that I ended up buying.

Alexandria Taylor

Very cool place! Just what you picture a used bookstore to look like. Incredibly friendly staff and it was super fun to wander the stacks.

Dan Zabrowski

So I was taken there to do a used book bingo by my partner and the selection was amazing, the staff friendly, and some of the shelves juuuust close enough that I had to turn sideways to fit. In short, a perfect used book store with tons of hidden gems.

Laura Pratt

This is the best used bookstore in the city! It's completely stuffed full of fiction books, with a small nonfiction section as well. They do an excellent job of keeping the books in alphabetical order, and of being able to find them for you if you ask, considering how full the shelves are. If you bring in books for trade credit you get an extra 10-20% off the cover price. And they can order new books as well!

Bridgette Olson

Awesome paperback selection! Especially if your looking for those oldies but goodies!!! Prices set at 50% off whatever the original book price was. Even better...the books are categorized by relevant sub topics within the genres. Easy to browse your favorites. Stop by if your in the area-or even better, plan your trip and bring books to "trade in"!

Britt Murray

Such a fun bookstore! I always find a couple gems in this used bookstore. Most of their books are paperback and in excellent condition! They also have a small selection of new books at the front.

Evan B

Stacks and stacks of awesome books. You get just what the name suggests. Bring in a used book or two to trade for big deals.

Kerry Ross

Great selection of, you guessed it...paperbacks!! Well-organized and friendly service. Will return

John O'Neill

Great little used book store in the SW corner of the city. Definitely a real atmosphere to the place. We really enjoyed our visit.

Adam Orth

Exploring this bookstore was delightful. The collection is extensive and interesting. I found a book I’ve wanted for a long time. Staff are knowledgeable and super helpful. They keep track of what they have and will happily look up authors and titles for you. The shelves are well organized. It is super clean. While I’m not a Romance reader, others more knowledgeable tell me its collection is impressive. Pro-tip: bring in paperbacks to trade and you’ll get 70 percent off!!

Ernest Meyer

Be sure to bring books to sell, you'll get a better discount buying.

Drew McNeill

Fun little book store to poke around in for an hour or so. Huge selection and very knowledgeable staff. I was surprised when my wife and I went there looking for three specific used titles, and found that they had a copy of all three in stock. I will say I'm not a huge fan of their trade-in/store credit policy, which requires you to contribute more cash to get books regardless of your trade-in value. Make sure you understand exactly how this works before trading in your used books.

Robert Schmidt

Paperback Exchange is my go-to bookstore. Anything they don’t have on hand as a used book they’ll happily order in new. Much more fun - and fulfilling - than any online shopping would ever be! (And the staff is top-notch!)

Riley Orion

The cutest bookstore I know of. I wish I could get lost in here forever! They have a large selection across a long list of genres and seem to rotate some of their stock too. The staff are very friendly and have always been helpful. I will say that this is no half price books but it's not outrageous either. Make sure you bring in books to exchange because they give a great deal!

Hildie Felton

The service here was helpful, friendly, and informative. I found several books I've been unable to find at a reasonable price and condition elsewhere and spent at least an hour just wandering around! A book lover's paradise.

Jake Stone

I don't normally go into old book stores. As they seem to be very impersonal. So most of my old books searches and other materials to read are handled online. it was only due to the fact that was in search of a rare book, but I decided to stop over there on my way home. Walking into paperback exchange was a nice breath of fresh air. The place place looks compact and somewhat bursting at the seams, however the friendly staff member that approached me made it feel more like a home environments then a retail environment. they actually took a great deal of concern to make sure you find what you're looking for. this place is definitely a must, and when I'm not so busy I'll probably go back and spend a little time there. It definitely looks like they have things I am also looking for to complete my collection and books

Claudia Owusu

Love this bookstore! Good customer sevice and a warm friendly atmosphere. The owner Andy and the rest of the staff are awesome!

Derick Hildebrandt

Great hole in the wall book store. Paperback Exchange has a huge selection of books that they cram into every inch of their space. Their trade in book program is a lot better than the bigger bookstore trade in programs in the area, especially if you're looking to use the trade-ins to buy new books.

Michael LovesTruth

This is my favorite local bookstore. If they don't have it in stock they will do their best to find it for you!

Troy Nelson

This is a great used bookstore! They cram a ton of books in a small space--very cozy. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. You can easily find a couple good bargains--check it out.

Kara Person

Nice local bookshop. They had a ton of used books in the store and some new ones. If they don't have the book you want in stock, they will order it for you.

Melissa L. Petzel Rose

SO MANY BOOKS!! Could spend hours upon hours here. Great prices and great condition for all books we picked up. Support our independent, long-standing bookstores!

Daniel Magner

This shop sells books. Most of the space in the shop is occupied by books. The selection is diverse and the pricing is excellent. They take trade-ins and stock new and used. If you like books, you will probably like this shop, because this shop is full of books.

Ella Renner

So many old books here! I could've stayed for hours alas I only stayed for a few minutes!! Can't wait to go back! Such a cute little place, love it!

J. J.

GREAT place for paperbacks. Has the charm of an old bookstore you would see in an 80s children's urban fantasy film.

jl hatlen linnell

So many tunnels of glorious books! Staff are incredibly helpful, but they'll also leave you alone to be a bpokworm. Love this place!

Clinton Lugert

Not only is every inch of this place lovingly covered with books, but they also support the arts and let our daughter shoot her student film here. Much appreciated.

Randy Gabrick

Cool smallish book store. Had a real neighborhood feel to it. Very helpful staff. I'll return.

Paige Kurtenbach

Amazingly stuffed collection where you can just browse for hours!

This is a tiny little store stuffed full of paperback books. Lots of fun to browse there.

great variety and a good exchange program (high discounts on purchases for giving them books, which is much better than the cents you usually get)

Great selection! I always find interesting books here. Plus I like the exchange model.
