Most organized used book store I've come across. If you are looking for a particular book, they will let you know if it comes in! Everything cataloged. Everything recorded. Great people working there.

I visited the Book Rack while the wifey was shopping and found the place to be the perfect distraction. I could have spent all day browsing but 30 minutes was long enough to find two books that interested me. They had a huge selection on just about every mainstream subject. My favorite is all things military from antiquity to the present, including mythology, archeology and classical biographies. The clerks were courteous, knowledgeable and easily approachable. Best of all tho are the prices! I left with several books and the knowledge contained within is worth far more than what I paid. So if you're a worm....a book worm make sure you check out the Book Rack!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Thanks for checking with us! We trade books for Store Credit towards our used books, but we never pay money for books. What we take depends on how many copies we already have, who wrote it, what kind of book it is, its age and condition, etc.

Thanks for asking! Our employees are wearing masks in the store and we're asking that customers wear masks also. We've improved the ventilation and filtering in our HVAC systems to provide more fresh air and remove more particles. We're quarantining all books traded in for at least 3 days before we check them in and make them available for sale. We're offering contactless payment options, as well as payment over the phone or by PayPal and curbside pick-up, for anyone who doesn't feel comfortable coming into the store. We've created 6-foot distancing between our associates and the customers at the check-out stations and we have hand sanitizer available at those locations. We're cleaning frequently touched surfaces more frequently.

Do you buy old (early 1900's) and/or rare books?

The Book Rack | Sep 23, 2020

Thanks for asking! We don't buy anything -- we only trade books for Store Credit, which will pay for part of your purchase of our used books. We never pay money for books. We're not a rare or collectible store, so you'd be better off finding someone who specializes in that merchandise. Unfortunately, I'm unable to recommend someone locally.

Do you have regular delivery or curbside?

Gem Jewels | Sep 23, 2020
The Book Rack | Sep 23, 2020

Thanks for checking with us! We are offering curbside pick-up in addition to in-store purchase. We can also mail books to you.
