I use this place exclusively to inventory our Little Free Library. Hands down the best used book store in the area - in terms of selection, price, and trade in value. Ps..they have lots of puzzles.

Great used bookstore in La Mesa. Most of the books are fiction. Books are organized in broad categories & then by author. There are lots of mysteries & suspense books. In the mystery sections, the store has placed author lists for prolific writers. Prices are reasonable & staff know their books! Always fun to visit.

I was told: Currently we are not purchasing books as we are still taking in between 200-600 books a day. We have a LOT of books. We are still taking books for trade towards purchase of other books.

Rose, no I'm sorry, we do not purchase or stock any textbooks. Unfortunately I don't know of any places that do other than the college bookstores.
