Great hole in the wall book store. Paperback Exchange has a huge selection of books that they cram into every inch of their space. Their trade in book program is a lot better than the bigger bookstore trade in programs in the area, especially if you're looking to use the trade-ins to buy new books.

The cutest bookstore I know of. I wish I could get lost in here forever! They have a large selection across a long list of genres and seem to rotate some of their stock too. The staff are very friendly and have always been helpful. I will say that this is no half price books but it's not outrageous either. Make sure you bring in books to exchange because they give a great deal!

Awesome paperback selection! Especially if your looking for those oldies but goodies!!! Prices set at 50% off whatever the original book price was. Even better...the books are categorized by relevant sub topics within the genres. Easy to browse your favorites. Stop by if your in the area-or even better, plan your trip and bring books to "trade in"!

Fun little book store to poke around in for an hour or so. Huge selection and very knowledgeable staff. I was surprised when my wife and I went there looking for three specific used titles, and found that they had a copy of all three in stock. I will say I'm not a huge fan of their trade-in/store credit policy, which requires you to contribute more cash to get books regardless of your trade-in value. Make sure you understand exactly how this works before trading in your used books.

This shop sells books. Most of the space in the shop is occupied by books. The selection is diverse and the pricing is excellent. They take trade-ins and stock new and used. If you like books, you will probably like this shop, because this shop is full of books.

Over-priced and a dismal non-fiction selection. I always leave empty handed. But if you re a person who goes through though best-sellers and wants to trade them in for more, it s a good spot. Located on a nice corner it can be part of an enjoyable afternoon in the neighborhood.

Exploring this bookstore was delightful. The collection is extensive and interesting. I found a book I ve wanted for a long time. Staff are knowledgeable and super helpful. They keep track of what they have and will happily look up authors and titles for you. The shelves are well organized. It is super clean. While I m not a Romance reader, others more knowledgeable tell me its collection is impressive. Pro-tip: bring in paperbacks to trade and you ll get 70 percent off!!

More than meets the eye is a common motto used here. Small spot next to a restaurant and a coffee shop. Quite a long building and tall shelves. Only one worker but she greeted me when I came in while helping another customer. Wandered around to see all the sections. After helping the customer she came to find me and asked if I needed help with anything. So very friendly which is always nice. Books are well organized and if you need help just simply ask. They rent new books and have DVDs/blue ray (very small section). If you bring in books to trade you get a better bang for your buck deal.

I don't normally go into old book stores. As they seem to be very impersonal. So most of my old books searches and other materials to read are handled online. it was only due to the fact that was in search of a rare book, but I decided to stop over there on my way home. Walking into paperback exchange was a nice breath of fresh air. The place place looks compact and somewhat bursting at the seams, however the friendly staff member that approached me made it feel more like a home environments then a retail environment. they actually took a great deal of concern to make sure you find what you're looking for. this place is definitely a must, and when I'm not so busy I'll probably go back and spend a little time there. It definitely looks like they have things I am also looking for to complete my collection and books

If you love books, you have to check this place out! They carry all genres, all ages, new, used, vintage, rare, fiction, non-fiction and more. You can also bring your used books here for trade incentives. Very organized and easy to shop even with the massive selection. The staff is friendly and helpful; curbside pickup is available. I would visit every day if I could!
