Mostly Books

You know this place has to be good if it can survive Bookman’s only a few doors down.
The front part of the store has a nice selection of new books, gifts and cards including a lot of psychological self-​help and recovery stuff.
The rear section, which opens into more rooms of books, is the used book area. Lots of interesting finds neatly arranged.
The staff are friendly and pleasant. Sellers have their credit recorded on a card file at the desk.

I love books more than the average girl and I didn’t know this place even existed. When I first walked in here, I was absolutely amazed. Their location may look small, but let me tell you, it’s pretty big with books stacked high! Books of all GENRES and types. And it’s not just used books that they carry here, they order new books every week.
The ladies who work here are super nice and friendly, very knowledgeable in what they sell and a true love for books. It’s nice to see other people treat books the way I do.

I have always been a fan of cute small local bookstores each with their own special identity and individuality– and I LOVE this cute little store with tons of books and gifts inside! They have used as well as new books and a pretty big selection for such a small space.
One of my favs about this place is they carry gifts and cards made by local artists too– another way you can directly support local people from the community.
Good parking, easy access, and a fairly Central location.
This is slightly off topic but they are right next to Bookman’s too so when I feel like going shopping for books and just browsing I have two stores to go into.
I always stop here first and then saunter over to Bookman’s for more. A wonderful combination in my opinion!

A pretty cute local bookstore that will but from you. Even though most of their stuff is used they do have new and current books for sake. They also have a back room that they allow organizations/​meetings to take place. I volunteer for Saving At Risk Animals and they are nice enough to let us use the space as well as advertise us.

Mostly Books is awesome! It’s really every book-lover’s dream. First off, the store is way, way bigger than it looks like it’s going to be from the outside. Just keep walking and there will be more rooms full of books. And full of books this entire store is! Books galore! They’re on the shelves, they’re stacked on the ground, they’re on make-​shift bookshelves, they’re just everywhere! They have new books, but I’m there for the used books. I found it a little bit difficult to determine the new and used sections at a glance (some used books aren’t so worn), but after a few minutes of wandering around the store, it was easy enough to basically understand their organizational system in terms of new and used. Their organization of genres is decent, too, but the overflowed books seem to have their own little system within each genre, so don’t overlook them!
I find the selection at Mostly Books to be better than other used books stores in town. They have some other novelty items at the front of the store that are unique, too. Their prices are ok. The staff was friendly. Overall, I really like this store! Give them a try, especially if you’re going to Bookman’s next door. It’s a short walk to find a ton more inventory!
Tip (not Mostly Books’ fault): Beware of the parking lot. It gets VERY busy, and when people are fighting for parking spots like their lives depend on it, things can get stressful and hectic. Drive carefully and walk carefully!

When you walk into a local bookstore, books should fall off the shelves. They do. I love it. Can’t imagine shopping a big box outlet!

Great little shop! The ladies working were very helpful, and they had what I was looking for. With a Bookman a few doors down, I would never have known about this place. Thanks Unilocal

I love Indie bookstores and this one is good.
It reminds me a bit of The Green Apple in San Francisco (high praise). A well-​chosen selection of new and trending releases up front and a rabbit warren of used books stacked to the ceiling in the back.
The folks behind the counter seem to know their stuff and I am intrigued by their book clubs and meditation meetings. (I receive the newsletter, but haven’t attended yet.)
I was sort of amazed that Mostly Books is a stone’s throw from a mammoth Bookman’s on Speedway at Wilmot. Hmmm… who was there first? But I get the difference and why they can coexist as neighbors.

Excellent Selection! My wife and I stopped by here this weekend looking for a few things for the baby otw. We didn’t find the exact books we were looking for but the staff was friendly and even stopped what they were working on to try and help me locate the elusive book I was seeking. Even though we left empty handed I am glad to have discovered a new shop to utilize locally near my house!

I had never been there before, but I went to get the Unilocal book. I called to see what time they were opened and I asked if they had the book and after I arrived there they had it read for me at the front. They also gave an amazing discount! I was excited! I will def return!!!

You’ve seen them on tv. I’m sure… those bookstores that just have books falling over themselves in a seemingly completely unorganized shuffle of paperbacks under hardcover…
Well. This lil’ store’s located just a couple stores down from the monolithic Bookmans, fits that bill to the «T»…hardly as humble as it appears from the outside. From the moment I walked in, I was swept away by the sheer size of the place… with books covering nearly every inch of space (and stuffed animals and other odds & ends covering the rest…). I just kept walking towards the back wondering when it would end… and when it did, just off to the right was one extra wing of books…
And they’ve got it all… New, used, paperback, hardcover, classic, childrens, romance, manga, and EVEVERYTHING in between. It’s a mess of books… just the way I like it!
Oh, yeah… they also have a «Meditation for Beginners» class every Wednesday night…(don’t ask me what that is, though…).

Lady at the Counter: «Is everything alright?»
Me: «You have every book I’ve ever wanted!»

Pulling into the complex and glancing at it’s neighbor slightly to the east, you can tell this place is brave as hell. Located a few doors down from the Speedway Bookman’s, Mostly Books is exactly as described. The front portion of the store is filled with cards, trinkets, and journals, but once you pass that area, you’re in a land filled with new and used paperbacks, and old hardcovers. As you venture further back, the store keeps continuing and is much later than it appears at first glance.
When tired of exploring the Bookman’s stores, this is a nice alternative. The prices are reasonable and the staff is wonderfully friendly. The vibe is a cross between an old bookshop in Sun City and Antigone’s and has found a nice balance between the two.
