So many books! I definitely recommend coming here. The owner and I had a great conversation about all the books she has within her store. I love a good used book store and you can find anything you need here!

This is such a marvelous bookstore. The owner was very personable and the inventory is remarkable. I need several more hours to sort through all of these shelves. I’ll definitely be back to explore and find more great deals.

Book lovers paradise. It's not a sleek ultra modern novelty/book store with Starbucks in the corner. This is a REAL book store like Harry Potter would visit in a quaint English village. There are thousands of books and more arrive daily. Wander down the aisles and explore the "back rooms," It's almost overwhelming in a good way. The owner is extremely knowledgeable so don't hesitate to ask questions. I think she must have read every book there. Charming artwork decorates the building. And, the owner's sweet couch potato dog may even wake up to greet you . New hours: Mon - Fri 10AM - 5PM. Sat 11AM - 5PM. Closed Sunday.

Questions & Answers

Do you have something in Spanish?

Brant's Used Books | Aug 24, 2020

We have books in Spanish, and textbooks to help learn the language. Since all our books are used, and many times we may have only one copy, our inventory is constantly changing. It’s best to come by and check out what we have in the store☺️

Do you have metaphysical books and tarot decks?

Brant's Used Books | Aug 25, 2019

We are happy to take most clean books in donation, things we can’t use for the store sometimes go to the Military (yeah! Gold Star Moms!) or end up on our Free Cart. Occasionally we are not able to use them, but I usually have other suggestions as to who , in our community, might benefit from them . Thanks for supporting small businesses!

We have a large bookshelf full of Stephen King....many hardcovers and first editions...but our stock is constantly changing so give us a call for book requests :-)

Do you buy used books for cash?

David Marszalek | Aug 25, 2018
Brant's Used Books | Aug 25, 2018

Generally, we work on trade for many of our books. I do occasionally purchase books that are more collectible, out of print or harder to find. (and this doesn't always mean it has to be old) You are welcome to send pictures of what you have, but it's much easier to just come by with the books and I can take a look at what you have. I have a very eclectic stock, so I am always looking for something different. As a basic rule I don't buy "Beach Reading" fiction. James Patterson, John Grisham, Danielle Steele, Nora Roberts, etc. Great books, but we have a lot already!! :-)
