Carol’s Recycled Paperbacks

Love love love Carol’s recycled reads. Love Carol and her hubby too. Had some nice convos with both. As long as I’m living in Grass Valley, I’ll be a loyal shopper!

For a somewhat small book store they do have a fairly reasonable selection of paperback books. Particularly in the Thriller, Sc-​Fi and Fantasy sections. In fact their selection of the latter is MUCH better than any of the other book stores in Grass Valley or Nevada city.
The reason for the three stars is that the customer service is poor. I’ve been in with my wife roughly six times and each time there is either an issue with not knowing how to use the debt card system or they are simply rude. That, or both.
There is a older man who works there who seems to be completely devoid of even the remotest trace of customer service skills.
Speaking for myself, I love going in to a good book store. It should be a fun and leisurely experience. I know that when I go in to a bookstore, I’m in a great mood and looking forward to discovering little literary gems. Being faced with miserable, pinched up staff is an enormous let down to say the very least.
Too bad. We would love to give them more business and more stars but lousy customer service is quite simply that… lousy.

Great store with a great selection of books. The owners are both readers and can discuss a variety of authors and titles with readers and have directed me towards good reads in the past.
The science fiction and fantasy section is quite large for a store this size and the selection among other genres is also quite good.
My first stop for books in Grass Valley.
