Was visiting from out of town and happened along this cute bookstore. Found some large print books at a great price for my mom and loved the atmosphere. So many books of many genres! Stop in…you won’t be sorry and may spend hours looking around!
I've been here a few times and I just love seeing how this store is growing! Its an amazing bookstore amazing prices for books and good selection of books as well ♡ Can't wait to go back !
My favorite bookstore in the springs by far! Great selection with both new and used books for VERY fair prices - and GREAT deals on used books! Loved the $1 and $5 carts outside - there were some great finds in there. The staff is so helpful and super friendly - loved getting to chat with them about books at checkout. The vibe is super nice and there’s so much to find in here. Definitely recommend!!
Basecamp is my go-to for hours of browsing... they have a huge selection of used books, solid options for new titles, and the ability to special order books that they don't have in stock. Their science fiction and fantasy selections are particularly impressive. The location has been a staple in the community for years (previously Hooked on Books), and because they have built so many wonderful relationships with the bookish community here, they're always getting fresh stock in via donations or trade-ins. If you're decluttering your bookshelf, you can receive trade credit to be applied to a portion of your used book purchases. The owners are fabulous, and there's always something new to find!
