Best prices EVER! 1 to 4 dollars for most best sellers. 10 DVDs for 5 bucks + sweeter senior ladies for great service

FYI: I saw a review here saying it’s cash only. That’s not true- as they accept debit and credit cards as well. This store really is the hidden gem of Santee. It’s always exciting to pop in and take a look at what new treasures are on their shelves. The ladies who run the store are always courteous and kind. $1.25 per book is a price that just can’t be beaten by Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. I can’t recommend it enough if you love to read.

As a teacher, I love shopping here to keep my classroom library stocked. On the last Friday of each month, most books are 50% off. Last time I was there, I got a teacher discount. It's such a great resource for the community.

Love this place! The hours are rather short, but it is run by volunteers. Volunteers who have most likely read the book you are looking for. Great selection, always! Prices beat any of the used bookstores out there and the books are in fantastic condition. I always walk out with load, some to give away and some to add to my own library.

Yes. They have anything and everything you can imagine at the bookstore. The ladies that run the store are very up on their stock. If they don't have a particular book/author you want they will gladly watch and notification you!! Prices are 50 cents or $1.50. On the last weekend of each month, older stock is reduced to half price. Please go see for yourself...you will happily support their endeavor!!

I'm not sure, and their hours are limited, maybe 12-4? There is a music school a couple doors to the left. They might be interested 😁

Hi. Do you accept bulk order? How can I contact you directly?

This place sells used books... Don't know what you mean by "bulk order". Call them to explain your need.
