If you like smell of old books, this is the place for you. For a used book store, the inventory is very well organized. They have a large inventory of both used hardbacks and paperbacks with some new books also The building is one big hall with other cubbyhole rooms on the sides that each have a different specialty or theme. The place has an old metal roof — Very cool to be there when in there when it rains. This is the kind of place I can spend an hour in and still not peruse through everything I would want to.

This is the funnest place to find books. It’s a great place to go if you aren’t sure what you are looking for, you just know you want something to read. I def. reccommend this place.

A lot of times, I typically run into two types of bookstores… one type is ridiculously cluttered in which the owner just tries to stuff as many books into the store as possible, and the other is the snooty bookstore where you wouldn’t find many mainstream books. The old book barn is neither. Also, this place is freaking huge. Humongous. Every so often a trip to Champaign warrants a visit to this place. They have a huge collection of books and they have many books that are hard to find. The people who work there are great. They obviously enjoy what they’re doing and are more than willing to help you out with anything. So long we find ourselves within an hour of this place, we’ll probably find our way for a visit.
