2018 - this business is no longer in operation. The hunt for a "real" bookstore is on!


Our all time favorite used book store is worth your time. This is a wonderful place to spend several hours perusing the shelves. I have bought several complete series of books in excellent condition. If they do not have what you are looking for sometimes they can tell you when another might be there. The store is stocked well with many different types of books. I have asked for help and often the people working there know exactly where to find what I was looking for. Another nice thing about this bookstore is that they take used books.

8/3/16-store is now closed! :(
The owners/staff are very helpful & can direct you to practically any book you are looking for, but if you are claustrophobic do NOT go here. It's a maze of books.

Books are everywhere. It's amazing, but they know exactly where everything is. You could spend hours in there.

This is an amazing I got business with Fabulous prices and an unimaginable selection!! I can spend hours in this store and find everything I ever dreamed of reading and any book to fill in any series also they now carry new books that follow fan favorite series and the prices can't be beat!!! If you love to read you have to go here!!!

Great selection if you have to wander around. They have so many books they are piled all over the place which makes looking for something specific really hard. They do take books in trade for credit, but you can't use the credit on all items. Cash and checks only.

There are so many books in this store it can be overwhelming however if you are having trouble locating a certain book the staff can find it for you!!! I love how you can turn your old books in for credit which you can then use to purchase more books.

Not a bad selection, but it is hard to find things - and they don't give much for your books if you try to sell them there...That said, I like supporting a local used bookstore - so I keep going back!

Love this store! They always have what I'm looking for at a reasonable price new and used. :) I go here quite frequently for almost all my books.

This place has tons of books, and I can usually find what I am looking for - they are surprisingly well stocked. The only problem is that they are not well organized - and not always as cheap as I'd like....But, I like supporting them as a small business and it is closer to me than Barnes and Noble so I try to go here and support them when possible.

This place is a treasure or bargain hunter's dream. Stacks of books everywhere you look. It is NOT the right place to go if you want to find something quickly and get in and out.

My daughter loves to read and this is a great place to get books for really cheap. They know exactly what they have and where to find it; amazing!

I don't know how they do it, but I'm always directed exactly to a location in their HUGE inventory for a specific book or genre that I'm looking for. I like that my granddaughters can bring a book up to one of the staff and be advised if it is age-appropriate before we purchase.

As a lover of books, I went into this store excited. And I was! There was so much I felt tiny under the massive towers of books. The shelves were practically groaning at the amount of books weighted. The only thing I was a bit disappointed about was that the books themselves were a bit pricey, and expected that since it was a secondhand store, would be more on the thrifty side.

This is the best used book store in town. They have tons of books to choose from. However it is hard to find a particular book among all the piles inter floor. But if you ask the experts that work there, they can usually find it quickly for you. I swear they must have photographic memories! Too bad this place doesn't also have a little sitting area where you can relax and get a cup of tea.

Almost Perfect has a wide variety of both used and new books at good prices and has a staff that is knowledgeable and helpful. The store also will buy back most books I no longer need (for either cash or store credit) and has an arrangement with a local charity to pick up books they cannot use in the store. This is always a great place to browse and shop.

All types of great books from today to years ago, hardcover and paper back. Even have rare books that are difficult to find. You can get lost for hours in this store if you are a book lover. The people who work there are friendly and helpful. Also can bring in old books for trade/cash which is always nice.
