Paperback Exchange Reviews

great variety and a good exchange program (high discounts on purchases for giving them books, which is much better than the cents you usually get)

Not only is every inch of this place lovingly covered with books, but they also support the arts and let our daughter shoot her student film here. Much appreciated.

Such a fun bookstore! I always find a couple gems in this used bookstore. Most of their books are paperback and in excellent condition! They also have a small selection of new books at the front.

SO MANY BOOKS!! Could spend hours upon hours here. Great prices and great condition for all books we picked up. Support our independent, long-standing bookstores!

This is my favorite local bookstore. If they don't have it in stock they will do their best to find it for you!

awesome selection of niche, hard to find books people wouldnt think to keep. Great for collectors and casuals alike.

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 place to explore if you love the thrill of the hunt

Huge selection of books and friendly help and service

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.

Very cute "hole in the wall" bookstore. Worth investigating if you have the opportunity.

A great place to get lost in for a couple of hours. I highly recommend it.

Amazing used and new bookstore with personal service and a seriously good discount policy.

The service here was helpful, friendly, and informative. I found several books I've been unable to find at a reasonable price and condition elsewhere and spent at least an hour just wandering around! A book lover's paradise.

Nice local bookshop. They had a ton of used books in the store and some new ones. If they don't have the book you want in stock, they will order it for you.

An excellent neighborhood bookstore. Informed, eager staff who never give up on delivering a title, in print or otherwise.

Looks of selections Owner is very nice and pleasant. Good prices.

This is a hidden gem, very nice selection of books, novels magazines dvd and bluerays.

This is a great used bookstore! They cram a ton of books in a small space--very cozy. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. You can easily find a couple good bargains--check it out.

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.

Awesome store !! Bigger than it looks from the outside

Awesome little place! My only complaint is that my tiny frame cannot see books on the top shelves!

Paperback Exchange is my go-to bookstore. Anything they don t have on hand as a used book they ll happily order in new. Much more fun - and fulfilling - than any online shopping would ever be! (And the staff is top-notch!)

So many old books here! I could've stayed for hours alas I only stayed for a few minutes!! Can't wait to go back! Such a cute little place, love it!

Awesome bookstore! It goes on and on. It looks small on the outside, but it isn't on the inside. There are books for everyone there. Be sure to stop in.

Cool smallish book store. Had a real neighborhood feel to it. Very helpful staff. I'll return.

Great selection! I always find interesting books here. Plus I like the exchange model.

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.

An enormous selection. Fair prices. Friendly staff.

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!!

Great store with lots of gems. I found two untouched copies of novels by Hans Scherfig, neither of which are available in all of Amazon's warehouses.

So many tunnels of glorious books! Staff are incredibly helpful, but they'll also leave you alone to be a bpokworm. Love this place!

Live in iowa. Always make time to stop in here when I'm in the area.

Way bigger on the inside than it seems like from the outside. Super eclectic feel.

Been shopping here for 30 years! Great selection, trade-in value good. Helpful staff. (Dawn Maniatis)

What a great bookstore. The staff have such wonderful energy! Will come back to visit next time I am in town!

So I was taken there to do a used book bingo by my partner and the selection was amazing, the staff friendly, and some of the shelves juuuust close enough that I had to turn sideways to fit. In short, a perfect used book store with tons of hidden gems.

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!
