Blue Plate Books

Great selection of literature, history, and touches of most every subject. I was surprised by the great inventory for what is a smaller (square-footage) shop. While some prices were a bit high, there was more than enough of the $5.95 price ranges, and even a few real finds: a Franklin Mint edition of Ulysses for only $25; wow! And the best part: service among the best I've ever had a bookstore. Incredibly helpful staff, they go above and beyond to assist with anything you're hunting for.

Stopped-by today. While it is true these are not bargain-priced books, the store is very nice, as are the owners, and the books are generally priced fairly for their condition. Found a couple of titles for less than $20 total, both of which are in very good condition and well below their original prices. I recommend the place.

This is a nice well-organized used book store - which may tip you off to a problem. The owner buys pristine copies of used books of certain types (non-fiction, literary fiction, some science fiction and mystery, no romance, etc.) and sells them for about half the cover price. I found a couple of things to buy, and there were a couple others I passed over due to the price. So, while this place is worth a visit if you're in the area, it isn't the place to find those well-worn copies of obscure pulp fiction you may be looking for.
