    This store is now regularly on my errands list to pick up more reading material. I am a fast reader (1/day) so I go through a stack of books very quickly. Nice selection that changes daily and offers buyback of all books, music and games.

    I wouldn’t recommend selling books here. The offer I received was surprisingly low, and when I asked for clarification, the staff responded with attitude instead of courtesy. The experience felt dismissive and unprofessional. You’ll likely get a better price and better treatment at Stuff Etc or a local used bookstore.
