Trading in your old books for cash is a great way to get something new and this also means that the stores’ inventory is constantly changing. Don’t feel too daunted by so much choice, the stores feature a well organized computer system which makes finding a particular book easy. The stores also feature a ‘Free Box’ outside their doors, which offer free items that can’t be sold due to age or condition but, you know what they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

The stores also host community events and is a great way for people to get together. McKay’s reports that it brings in as many as 10,000 new items a day, so it’s always worth a visit! This certainly seems like a great place for book lovers in the area to check out.
