One of the best used book stores I've ever experienced. The building is very small, but /he owner puts every space to use, full of books. Very well organization and TONS to choose from.

So many books, so little time! They have a good selection of fantasy and sci-fi as well as a nice little children's area.

We were surprised to find a used book store in little ol' Independence. The owners are nice, and we appreciate their book buying habits. They'll take a lot of things others wouldn't, even if you don't get much for them. And you can get X amount in cash, or 2X in credit. The way credit works is when you make a purchase, you can use credit to pay up to 50% of your bill. The place isn't huge, but they've got books packed in everywhere. Most are old; they don't seem to have a good turnover. The fiction and paperback sections, two that I don't use, take up most of the store. There are no tech books to speak of, and a limited selection of gardening, arts and crafts, etc. They allow the occasional well behaved dog in the store, too; this made it a perfect rainy day treat to get out with our pup, Winston. They have an interesting selection of culture/etiquette books, and a good section for northwest interests as well.

I've been back a few times, and I've loved this place every time I walk in. I recommend it to anyone looking for a bookstore. Especially for Sci-Fi and Fantasy fans, this is the place to go for reasonably (and often very reasonably) priced books. For Sci-Fi/Fantasy fans, there are 12 bookcases full of just paperback, and another bunch of hardback. Can't say enough good things about this gem of a bookstore!

You can get lost in this store among the many shelves (well-organized!) of books - a great variety of subjects here, I usually hit the natural history, classics, and asian sections which always have more tempting books than I can afford to buy. I have gotten some great Folio Society and similar quality editions at very fair prices. Best part is that the owners seem to love the book biz. Allow time to browse!
