I was greeted at the door by a portly unkempt man wearing a winter coat mended with black tape.  The heat was barely discernable. Nonetheless I paid the man $5 for the opportunity to make a purchase.  Books are stacked and 2 deep on the shelves. It takes some time to look through. After checking out the religion section, I asked for the art section. I was told it was unavailable.  I stated that I should have mention that I wanted to see the art section before giving him $5. His response was "you probably should have".  I asked "really?". Then he reminded me that I got to look at religious books for 30 minutes for my $5. Just shook my head and left.

$5.00 admission fee. "It's written on the door" what an idiot...just lost maybe the biggest sale of his year. I was planning to fill a small library. Looking for 60 antique books and I was in the area. I'll do Buisness with people that deserve it.

Are you kidding me!! $5.00 entry fee!! This bookstore is a trash bin that you can't browse do to the mounds of books piled every where. 
The place smells of water damage.
You really need to evaluate what you are offering for an entry price. 
If you clean the place up , have some areas to read in .... Maybe but that trash heap ... No!

The other reviews are a good reference for this store.  The inside has books stacked so high that it's almost hazardous.  The owner's car is literally stuffed with them.  I'm not sure I saw anything interesting or worth reading as I walked in.  The owner WILL charge you five dollars to go inside, but is it worth it?  If you're looking for a bookstore with lots of books, but a potential crushing hazard, this is the bookstore for you.

Have to agree with all the other posters. Wish the town or BBB would check out this fire hazard.
