Each book has been collected for the serious reader. I have had the pleasure of finding hard sought books at reasonable prices on many occaissions. I live way out of town and I make it to this book shop every chance I get. It takes hours just to peruse the collection and worth every minute. Expect quality books collected by serious book lovers with a consumate variety.

I would stay out of this store. 1/4 price books had some appeal to me when I went in, looking for a photoshop book but when I couldn't find it and started to head out... I came across a black and white photography book about 18 years old. They had it priced at $12.00 so I put it back and wished the store owner to have a nice day on my way out. He asked. "Sir, just out of curiosity, how much would you have paid for that book?" Since my initial interest was the photoshop book, I didn't really know how to respond but given the age of the book and the name of the store,"1/4 price books" I replied about half of that which is about $6.00. I didn't even mention to him that for an 18 year old book, that was pretty good in my opinion. Keep in mind, they asked me... I was on my way out without commenting... His reply was "Were not running a flea market here Sir". Normally, I think I would have said something... but I think I was just 'suprised' at what he just said... anyway, I left. At least he said "Sir", but the tone wasn't very friendly at all. Anyway, I suguest steering clear of this place unless you want to feel pressured into possibly buying a book that might be overpriced for the age of it. Posted
