There are a million reasons to love used book stores…
- Buying used books is environmentally friendly. It reduces the resources (trees, water) used in the manufacture and shipping of new books.
- They’re kind of random. You might stumble upon something you would never read/buy otherwise.
- The books are cheap.
- Instant gratification. You don’t have to wait for your used books to arrive from Amazon.
- They build community by providing a central place for the exchange of cultural information (ideas, events, art, etc.)
Okay, that was only five, but I’m sure I could think of dozens more. Just take a look at these photos…see? I told you used book stores are random. And I love them.

Do you have the 2nd and 3rd Harry Potter books?
Scott, this isn’t the website for Central Book Exchange. You will have to contact them to get that info! Sorry.
