Great prices and very helpful in finding what you're looking for or helping you to find a way to repair any book, whether it needs rebinding or is just plain dusty. If they don't know, they can point you in the right direction to people who will take good care of you.

Great people, great selection. Even smells like an old book store. If they don't have it, they'll get it for you

We walked in on an overcast Saturday afternoon and were greeted immediately by the shopkeeper, who asked us if we were looking for anything specific. We had a short list of titles we were wanting to buy and she gave us a quick tour of the store. The shopkeeper knows her inventory well, and speaks of the books as if they are all her friends. And though at first glance it doesn't look as if the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling books are organized in any manageable fashion, it is. Even if it weren't, this is the kind of place you want to get lost in for a couple of hours anyway. I walked out with another used copy of The Sun Also Rises for $2, and my partner picked up a used hardback copy of Walden for $6. This is the kind of business that makes you yearn for the times when everyone specialized in a trade. We are now of the time when people can buy their books, jewelry, and tires in the same place they buy their toilet paper, and we're supposed to be happy about the convenience. I will be back time and again, on lunch breaks, weekends, and any time I'm near Delano with some time to kill and a couple dollars in my wallet. I only hope Al's can continue to withstand the Walmart era and serve us locally devoted bibliophiles for years to come.

A delightful place for any booklover to browse. This shop has a wide selection of fine old and new books across all genres from mystery to classic literature to history to children's books. Extensive sections of non-fiction books on many foreign countries. They don't sell books at thrift store prices but the quiet atmosphere and great selection makes for a very satisfying experience.
