Book Place

I’ve been to this bookstore twice and can’t wait to go again. Great selection and prices. The same lady was there both times I went and she was very friendly and professional. They have a decent amount of audio books too which I like for my long drives to visit family.

Finally stopped in despite driving by everyday.
Very organized and clean layout. I’ve been to other used bookstores where it was like doing through someone’s garage or attic. You won’t find that at Book Place.
Plenty of parking, but avoid weekdays around 2:30 p.m. because the high school gets out then and some parents use this parking lot to pick up their kids.
New policy of only accepted 2 bags of books per visit. The owner was really nice and said it was because she had boxes of books in the back room that she still needed to go through.
Trade in policy: You get up to $ 2 off when you trade in a book or 50% off when you buy a book. They prefer paperback books but will accept hardcovers if they’re new releases.
And they promise to take back any books you buy from them IF it’s in the same condition as when you bought it.

Called ahead and they explained their book exchange/​donation. They prefer paperback fiction books and any other books would be donated for us, so convenient! I had my daughter with me in the car, so the lady in the bookstore offered to come help me bring my books in, amazing! She set up my account with my name and phone number and that was it! So easy. Can’t wait to go back and buy some books with whatever credit we received.

I am so bummed with this place. I gave it a one star rating because of the HORRIBLE customer service. When purchasing the 2 paperbacks (total of $ 6), I gave the lady a $ 20 bill. I friggin’ know it was a $ 20 bill because I went to the bank right before and that was the only cash I had… Fifteen mins later when I went to get gas, I noticed that I only had $ 4! I called the store and identified myself (I was the only Asian person there!) I said I was there 15 mins prior, bought 2 paperback books and and only received $ 4. She said she never recieved a $ 20 and she didn’t even have to check because she didn’t receive any big bills since 1PM, yada yada. I went around in a circle with her and just asked her to check. After her refusing and denying my request, I dropped it because it was getting ridiculous. Book Place, I made a donation of $ 10 to your establishment for the holidays. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
If you go here, make sure you announce what bill you’re paying with because you might get shiested… BOO BOOK PLACE, BOOOOO!

Decent little bookstore. There wasn’t much of a selection of non-​fiction or classics — mostly mass market paperbacks — romance, science fiction. Nice people and worth a look.

Decent place! I wandered in before getting my nails done down the way, and it was a pretty good sized store!
I saw a few books I already owned, but sadly didn’t find anything I needed/​wanted. I did see some popular books and the average price was $ 6, pretty awesome if you were looking for it! They didn’t have the full Harry Potter set and that is a no no… Every store should have the full collection in my muggle opinion.
The lady who worked at the front seemed nice, a little odd when I mentioned I needed to bring my sister sometime and I got the «well we close in a half hour» response. Okay I will be out by closing sorry!
Like someone said, a ton of romance novels, I had no idea an author can write that many plot lines, but go crazy!
I may be back when I’m in the area– I’m weird and never trade in books because I keep them all, but the half off deal sounds decent if you have a ton laying around!

So clean and organized! It doesn’t have the used book store smell! They have a great tracking system for your account and all books in the store. Easy to park and shop. I’m an elementary teacher I always pick up a few books for the classroom as I shop for myself. When you bring in books and keep bringing them back you buy books for a lower price. Great way to support local shop owners who care about their community.

Great book store, very organized, clean, and a place to sit and read if you like. Mother and Doughter team, runs smoothly. Good receipt tracking on what you have purchased, and any trade in credits. This store is not so large that you get lost in it, and is very organized so it is easy to find what your looking for, with out wasting time. Thank You for being here, there are not to many good used book stores out there, and this is a great one.

Fair prices, good selection and friendly staff. I love that I can bring the books back for a credit when I’m done reading them. I recommend this book store.

My kids bought me a Kindle for Christmas so they aren’t very pleased that I still frequent Book Place but I love this store.
You never know walking in what hidden treasure you’re going to find. All you know is that you will be able to breath in the wonderful smell of real books and you will be surrounded by some of the best inanimate friends that you will ever have.

I love used book stores, and was looking for one closer to my home in north SD county. I’ve found my place. I actually like their trade in policy, and I feel their prices are fair too. The store is very well organized with good stock and any type of book you can think of. The only compliant I have is that they only trade in paper backs, but many used book stores do that, so I understand.
I will for sure be back to do some more book trading!

This bookstore really disappointed me when it came to their consignment policy. For every book they take from you, you only get 50% off another book from their store. I ‘sold’ them 35 books, not realizing their policy. When I was ready to leave and went to exchange my credit for three books, it was going to still cost me $ 8 for three, used, books.
They say this is the only way they can actually make money off consignment books, but I have never been to a used book store with this policy. Personally, I would rather get 10 free books than pay out of pocket for 35 half priced books. As a college student I don’t have any extra money for books anyway, which is why I took them to consignment in the first place. I kind of feel like I just gave them a bunch of books to make a profit off of.
Their selection is okay. If you’re into paper back romances this is your place. They do have quite a few ‘best sellers’ but most of them are over priced. It’s not the place to go if you’re looking to build on your library or acquire classics.

How can any reader young or old not love $ 4 or less for new & used books! They let you trade in their own books always & most others they might take too for a store credit that is used to get another book for ½ off of $ 1-​$ 4 books. Staff is super nice, welcoming & always smiling.
Parking is ample in front, lot is usually safe. Only thing to watch is it gets crowded when the high school gets out.

After my favorite book store disappeared I was on the lookout for a new bookstore in Vista.
When I entered, I thought they would be much more expensive since the books look like they are in very good shape for a used book. The lady even gave me credit for trading in some of my German books.
Love it!

I had never seen the store when I drove past it today. I was amazed at how clean and so very organized the store is. What I especially liked is how they stack their books. Not so the spine is showing and you have to turn your head to read the title. They do have a nice sitting area if you would like to read a couple of pages of a book before buying it. They do offer a trade-​in special if you trade a book in. The service was just great. I enjoyed just finding this bookstore and I will definitely enjoy buying my books from there. A great find!

I love this used book store! They aren’t the largest used bookstore in the area but they definitely are doing it right. The store is cozy and made for readers. They have comfy chairs to lounge in and sample read and they have just the right blend of recent bestsellers, fiction, non-​fiction, mysteries, sci-​fi, biographies, crime novels, romances, etc. Their prices are so good. Their books are well organized, which makes it easy to find the types of books you like. The two ladies who run the store are great. They are knowledgeable and they help you find authors and books similar to what you enjoy. Booklovers out there; we need to patronize this store and keep this gem in the neighborhood!

Not bad, but not what im looking for in a used book store. Actually kind of expensive for used books relative to stores i frequent.

Very cute and organized book store. The owners were very helpful and sweet. They have a pretty good deal, trade a book get a new one for 1 – 2 bucks! Not bad! Not bad at all!

I’ve been waiting for them to open and am not disappointed. The interior is classy and the selection & exchange pricing pretty good. Starting to collect some of my dusty books for trade-​in.
