  Ken is the WORST and most RACIST employee at this location. Idk who felt like he deserved to be assistant manager of anything let alone a bookstore. I brought books from a STORAGE unit, all from the same place multiple times and they were evaluated fine. I have so many books I should have probably just donated them to the library. He accepted books from a white patron one stack mind you, with library writings on them and gave that patron $22. We had 3 loads of books and were given $1. Equally the day prior $4, for 3 tubs of books. I could have let it go if it weren’t for the comments which I shared with corporate and won’t bother to share here. I am extremely offended and never pull the “race” card, but that employee in particular is rude and racist. I drove the items up there in a Porsche I’m QUITE certain I wasn’t smoking. I was told they only deserve $1 and that the library wouldn’t take them. Unnecessary comments weren’t needed. I could have said he looked like a proud boy who just left a far right tattoo parlor but I didn’t. I’ve lived in Frisco for over 11 years and have frequented this location without a problem. If you are a person of color and see this man, spare yourself the trouble when he is evaluating, you will get nothing but profiled. It’s not the money clearly, no one cares about that when getting rid of things or giving back. It’s the rude and ignorant comments that other patrons didn’t have to experience. The rest of the staff was great, kind, and very accommodating. He is combative, ignorant, childish, and rude. His customer service is terrible and for this to be the standard for an ASSISTANT MANAGER is insane. Your staff is a representation of your brand, so if nothing more this is a serious coaching opportunity. For him to feign offense to being called out about being overtly racist was an insult as well. Pure ignorance. Then laughed as if it were funny, as if calling corporate didn’t matter. Smug, ignorant and arrogant. Like what are you gonna do about it? These type of ignorant employees are the reason why companies lose businesses that were once cherished and reputable.

  This location perfectly balances out the one in McKinney. If you manage to hit them both up in a single day you'll undoubtedly find that between the two of them, they have everything you could ever want in stock.

  An absolute paradise for book lovers and treasure hunters alike! 📚✨ Every time I visit, I am reminded of why this is my favorite spot to unwind. The cozy, inviting atmosphere makes it so easy to lose track of time while browsing through their massive, well-organized selection of books, vinyl, games, and unique oddities. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the wonderful staff. They are always exceptionally friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about helping you find exactly what you're looking for (or introducing you to something totally unexpected!). Whether you're dropping off items to sell or hunting for your next great read, the entire experience is always smooth and delightful. Highly recommended to anyone looking to support a fantastic local bookstore—I can't wait to come back!
