For many years, this bookstore has been an absolute joy to visit, and it continues to be under new ownership. I always find something when I come here, and the price is always very reasonable. The owner, Patrick, and his staff will help you find what you're looking for, and you are free to have a seat in the front of the store and read some pages before you make a decision on buying a book. Also, if you're pressed for space at home and need to part with some of your books, bring them in and Patrick will make an offer as he is always interested in replenishing his stock of used books.

Super idyllic bookstore. I thought the fiction section was a little light - I was hoping to find more there - but then fell into the literature section and found joy. The owner is great. He let our family use the bathroom in the back (thank you!) and clearly treats his shop like a labor of love.

This was the BEST bookstore I’ve been to… ever? The owner was amazing, helped me find new authors to explore and found some other books that I’ve been searching for. Prices are fantastic, and the layout makes it so easy to navigate and discover new things! 22/10 stars, would recommend!!!

A delightful book-buying experience. We didn't find what we were looking for, but we also didn't ask for assistance -- that's on us. We DID leave with a delightful book about gaming and would go back anytime to delve more deeply into the shelves.

Nice supply of affordable, clean books with diverse sections of fiction and nonfiction. Shelves created for the audience and community. Bright sunlit interior. Big baseball section, big mystery section, and even some antique postcards. Friendly staff and respectful book hunters. Parking out front and behind.

Me and my daughter took our first trip to Books End. For a special book signing of "Unraveling The counsel of crows". The authors of the book were amazing people. I already can't wait for the next book. But on to Books End. Right inside the door the gentleman at the counter was very helpful. And I have to say I was blown away of the amount and selection of books. There is literally something for everyone. I wish I had known about them before. But it will definitely not be my last trip there.

This is a real-deal used book shop, the kind which used to be found just off campus of any university or college worth attending. Take the time to disappear into the stacks here and get lost among old sci-fi paperbacks, cookbooks from forgotten kitchens and esoteric volumes of all sorts.
