Honestly this is one of my favorite places in Memphis. I go through at least once a week. The place is organized and books come and go frequently. I've never paid more than a few bucks for a book (many haven't even been opened before). I've also gotten a couple signed copies for a few bucks. Magazines, coffee table books, educational material, cds, music books, etc. All types of media available. You can donate stuff to them easily as well! I tell everyone I know about this spot.
Wonderful place to stop in and look for used books. Generally good selection that is rotated often, so there is always something to find. Prices can sometimes be a bit on the high end for such books ($4-5) but many are much less.
This place has an amazing selection of all sorts of books that are all in perfectly readable condition. They are extremely cheap ($1-4 each on average) which makes reading available to just about everyone. Their selection is constantly changing too so you never know what you might find!
