Bearly Used Books & Etc

The selection is primarily cheesy romance, which if you’re into that, this bookstore would be perfect for you. The two times I have come in, the woman at the counter was kind and answered any questions I had, but she stayed on her phone the whole time I was in there. The prices are very expensive considering the condition of some of the books.nThat being said, I was able to find something both times I went in, one book being a very new (hardcover) release for under 10 dollars. This store is hit and miss, like most places, but it’s an okay place considering it’s the only used bookstore in the area.

The good news: a clean, well-organized store with plenty of paperback books. The bad news: very few hardbacks and not much non-fiction and many of the books have seen better days. The terrible news: the person working the counter was devoid of warmth, friendliness or common courtesy. She was an older woman with the personality of a used bar of soap. I brought in a bunch of nice, hardback books to *give* to the store, including some “coffee table” books. The “lump” refused to take the books out of the bag—I had to do that. She then slowly looked at each book and graciously said “I guess I can find some use for these”. She acted like she was doing me a favor. No smile. No “thank you”. No gratitude. She showed all the enthusiasm and warmth of a Democrat welcoming Trump to a strategy meeting. I’ve never been treated with such indifference and coldness in my life. I’ve worked in customer service my entire life and this “lump” could not even say “thank you” or put on a phony smile—something most people learn to do early in their career. Because of the “lump”’s off-putting personality and lack of professionalism, I will never be a customer and I will certainly never give that store any books. What a pity. A perfect example of a person I’ll-suited to the job and working with the public. Not recommended at all.

They don't have a fantastic selection. Although I can always find at least one book that I want to read each time I go in. The lady working was nice to me. Prices are a bit high for used books but I'm so glad they're here. Nice to have a bookstore in town. Thank you

Loved it. Friendly service, clean store. Nice selection of mysteries. Also has dvds

Loved this little place. Went to Mountain Home for work and asked if they had any bookstores in town. They told me no. I was driving in the evening looking for food and saw the sign. They were closed but I made sure to go the next day. lady behind the counter was pleasant and the store was small but nice. Glad they still have a bookstore in town (there's a quote about a town that doesn't have a bookstore but it escapes me at the moment...). Great little place and I hope it stays open for a long time. When I go back to MH I will stop in every time.
