Testimonials

On 3/20/2025 Robert Davidson had this to say:
Was looking for one book; they had a copy and picked up 3 other titles on a whim. Didn't look the whole place over but will stop in again.

On 3/5/2025 John Dickson had this to say:
Great book store! Jan the owner is very knowledgeable. If your looking for any kind of a book or one in specific this is the place to go

On 2/25/2025 April Morgano had this to say:
I love this location and the owner. So many books for one to choose from.

On 2/4/2025 T P had this to say:
Lots and lots and lots of books. The building doesn't look very large from the outside, maybe about the size of your average Half Price Books, but the shelves are PACKED and there are a lot of them jammed in here. If you're looking for fiction, this is the place to come. Thousands upon thousands of fiction, cook books, a large religion section, childrens books, everything. Whenever we come to a used book store like this, I always look at the automotive section in search of old shop manuals and normally I come up empty handed but The Book Market had more than I have ever seen. Unfortunately, none for my cars but you might get lucky!
