Book Exchange! It may look like a small shop, but it's actually quite big on the inside, and actually appears to be two small shops combined.
Hubby and I were driving through from Sacramento back to the OC area and we made a "quick" stop here for hubby to stretch his legs and me to continue spending money on books. It was actually a bit of a win-win situation for hubby because there is a dog salon right next door, so he got to see all of the puppies that were going to get groomed. Love puppies! Parking lot is decent. We came in around 10:30am, so it wasn't too busy or crowded.
I was warmly greeted when I walked in, and the employee was happy to help with any questions I had. She was so nice, and we were able to chat about a few things. I was happy to see at least a few customers come in while I was there.
As seen in the pictures, they have A LOT Of books and they're all organized into sections. They've got some great older editions of books, such as some Madeleine L'Engle novel, as well as Tolkien. I didn't see any leatherbound books while I was perusing, and there isn't any specific bookshelf that would have signed books; any signed books wouldn't be called out specifically on any shelf or section. While they mainly have used books, there are also new books, and it seemed like some of the new books are not at MSRP price, but lower, which is kind of them.
Would recommend anyone to come by to support this bookshop.
