I love searching for good books. This place has a nice variety of genres plus it has movies. Added bonus it smells like an old library and there are two sweet cats to pet. The only drawback is the hours are not always consistent.

My new favorite place! Not your typical bookstore but staff is awesome and the money you spend goes to a good cause. I love treasure hunting i.e. antique stores and thrift stores, and this book store is full of hidden gems.

Awesome prices and huge selection. We're so lucky to have a big used bookstore in Des Moines like this. There are friendly cats in the store, too.

I could spend hours in this store! Fiction, non-fiction, cook books, movies, children's books they have them all, and so inexpensive! Take your family and spend some time there!

I love this place! So many books to choose from. It's not the most beautiful place. Nothing fancy about it by any means. However....Cheap, cheap, cheap! Hardbacks are 1.50 and paper is 1.00! Soooo worth the trip to visit this place. It's always my first stop if I'm wanting to stock up on books.I mean, if the book wasn't good, I dont care because it was at the very most 1.50.

I volunteer with these guys and they are amazing! First off it's a super cool building so worth checking out just because of that. They also have a very expansive variety of books, and they work so hard to take care of every individual customer who comes in. It's a very individualized shopping experience for every person, and they have something for everyone.

Fantastic great excellent wonderful. Last time I was in, softcover books were $0.50 and hardcover books were $1... huge selection of everything. Most books are a little old and in various qualities but really a treasure of a used book store.

A reader's Paradise! No frills used books/DVDs ingeniously arranged in copy paper boxes (on their sides) on bookshelves. And 2 friendly cats who will give you space but will allow you into theirs.

They have an everyday blowout sale extravaganza EVERYDAY on a wide selection of books. Just walk up to their dumpster behind the store. Thats where they keep the books that people donate to them, right in the dumpster they go.

Lots of used books very well organized, if you are looking for something specific it would be good to check here first if you don't mind used and cheap! Closes early in the afternoon.

A tan building that's easy to miss, but you walk in and there are books, dvds, records, kids books etc for days at great prices. Bring cash and have a treasure hunt!

Bought a DVD and the DVD was never placed into the case. Maybe the person behind the counter was new, but I didn't even want to go back to try to remedy the error.
