Bargain Books

I had a pretty weird experience here. There was a little boy in a spider man suit running around pulling displays apart. His mom, who worked in the store, seemed disturbed yet helpless, while a guy who seemed to be the owner or manager bullied both of them in a way that made me really uncomfortable. Speaking of uncomfortable, the kid was also using the camera feature on his mom’s phone to take video of the store and its shoppers.
I ended up buying a puzzle and a coloring book, but I was very unimpressed by the book selection and will not likely return unless I hear there has been a change in the management.

I could have robbed this place but I didn’t. I think that speaks to my character and I’d like to point that out in case I ever need proof of my status as an upstanding member of the community.
Athough, this may not be the greatest example of valor since the first thought in my head upon walking in and seeing the fast asleep old woman behind the register was, ‘hey, if I wanted to, I could totally just jack this joint and no one would even know.’ Is that normal? I feel like it is, you’re just not supposed to admit it or you sound like a total degenerate, but again, I didn’t rob the place. I looked good and evil straight in the face and chose good. Sort of like Batman, but set in a suburban strip mall’s used book store.
Instead of thieving I just kind of browsed and the only thing I even came close to touching was this oddly specific hardcover book called ‘Amish Children’ featuring giant pics of Amish kids under 10 years of age. Weird, right? Like, kind of a red flag type selection, no?
So anyway, Nothing to see here, folks.
Well, maybe not NOTHING nothing, but certainly nothing worth going out of your way for.
They’ve got a ton of books and some odds and end knick knacks as well, but besides that, can’t say I was impressed with much anything here.
Prices could definitely be lower and the broken-​ass odds and ends in the clearance room were kind of gross. Like, partially used cosmetics and for sale mini bottles of the shampoo and conditioner you get for free at hotels. Ain’t nobody gon pay for that.
They had a decent selection for kids, but it was right next to the section where that Amish Children book was displayed and I’m pretty sure that anyone who would have any interest in that book likely has a legal obligation to stay at least 50 yards from the kids section, so they might want to rearrange that.
We left after a few minutes. The old woman behind the counter remain asleep in her chair.

This Bargain Books has very scanty shelves. The fiction section is all the way in the back and just a mere 1 book cases worth of titles and authors I don’t even think I’ve heard of. There’s a pretty cute gift section though. I think the largest section of the store are Christianity books. It’s a really small shop with very little interesting books to select from.
