It's a treasure hunt, for sure. But so many great books at amazing prices!! And the guy helping us was kind, funny, and very helpful. If you love books, I think you need to check out this place. So worth it!!! I was there with 3 girlfriends and we all LOVED it!

I think this place gives the best value for trade in books. They always have what you want. If not in store, they order it. 10% off new books. I love both locations but bookmine is a great place to wonder.

This place is probably my most favorite bookstore that I have ever been to. Whatever you are looking for they probably have it. Looking for some kids books? They got them. Looking for an old old book that you won't find anywhere else? They probably have it. Looking for a how to book? They probably have it. New book? Got it! Looking for a signed copy of your favorite author? Yep! That to. This place is a Labyrinth of magic within their aisles upon aisles of the happiest places traveled by mind. I am so happy that I now got to share this joy with my child. Chamblin Bookmine, I look forward to seeing you again.

Super amazing bookstore and nice helpful people however the pricing is a bit wonky, KIND OF A SCAM. It was said that the written-in books with the Chamblin stamp were half off the cover price. I found one book I wanted which was originally $1.45 and that pricing could not apply without a $5 minimum on those books. So that book was a bit more (not an issue) The real issue I had was paying for a $30 book only to see the original price being $20 after purchase and wiping off their marker over the price. I get about making money but I've been to several other local bookstores that actually sell the books half price off the original price or other.

Prices are pretty good. So many aisles I’m sure you can find anything you’re searching for. Only thing I didn’t see was a children’s section but it was my first time here and it was pretty busy. I didn’t know I can bring in my used books so that’s a plus, can’t wait to visit again.
