Downtown Books

About

Used bookstore with strong representation in a number of different subjects and specializing in odd and unusual titles that are reasonably priced.

Story

The business was established by a veteran devotee of used bookstores who found himself in the midst of a fork in the career road. Started on a wing and a prayer, Downtown Books has amazingly survived for 13 years. The quality of the inventory has continued to improve with each passing year as personal libraries have been obtained and increased traffic has lead to more varied selection through buying, trading and selling. The owner likes to think of the store as an organic being that lives independently, with his role that of a concerned caretaker.

Good store for old books. Favors art in my mind. Found some old out of print books here at good price.

Downtown Books has aisles of tall bookshelves crammed full of used books at low prices. If you are looking for a recent or an older book, this is the place to go. I found a 1953 out-of-print biography I had been seeking for several years. The store is open 12-5pm five days a week.
