In town for the weekend and stopped here to try and replace cookbooks lost in a fire. The fella that helped us out even... gave a free book to help out. You do not see this kind of customer service & generosity too much these days! Thank you!read more

Do NOT do business with The Book Deal. They are a Drop Shipping Scammer. They order expensive books on Amazon in good... condition then process a refund claiming the wrong book was sent and return a different book in poor condition to the seller.read more

Kind and gracious men with helpful suggestions for the many different kinds of books we were seeking were worth the... l-o-o-ng walk from the parking lot with walkers. And there was a discount for one of us who is a teacher and a coupon for the time/s we would return. We heartily recommend The Book Deal for any reader-shopper: they have what you want! 😊❣️read more

My new favorite used book store! They are constantly bringing in new titles (and keeping us updated about it on... Facebook!), and you honestly can't beat the prices. $1-$4 for anything, and I'm talking good, relevant titles, not just the ones no one wants. Not to mention, I feel like they constantly have offers where you end up getting free books too. AND they donate to local schools for each book purchased! The staff is always great, and the funny office building location is just part of the charm. Keep going down the hallway, it's there!read more

Odd location, but a very nice little book store. The last few times I visited Half Priced Books I didn't find anything,... but my first visit to Book Deal I walked away with five books and one vinyl.

I loved the selection, which had what I needed and more that I wanted! Go often and stay longer, since there are so... many gems. The place is open and inviting with a logical arrangement of titles. The staff is very friendly and eager to help out, so I did not hesitate to ask for some guidance to find the section I was most interested in. I loved the kids section where I saw my own favorites, those of my family with new titles. The selection also changes, as more books are added. I am so happy to see this in the neighborhood and community, what a gem (and good deal).read more

Classic fiction, contemporary work, tons of nonfiction, cds, lps, kids stuff, etc. The two guys working were so friendly and helpful that you can tell they value their new customers.
