3.5 rating. This bookstore is great and not so great. I really think it depends on what you are looking for. - If you are looking for a specific type of book or maybe a newer book than this is a good choice. They might have it and it will cheaper than retail. - If you are looking for a good deal on something not brand new or harder to find. Then not so great. Prices went up A LOT here. I think one of the cashiers told me a book is 4$ min now? Many places out there where you can get a much better prices (i.e other stores and even some online websites), but it will be cheaper than retail so if that's good with you then great! I have found some cool paranormal romance books here and they do have a great selection of them if that's also your jam. - If you are looking to sell books? I would avoid unless you are thinking of giving them away anyways and thought why not get some spare change. They don't give a lot for books here. They are also selective with which books they take. So if you are looking for the most money, I would suggest driving somewhere else or selling on Marketplace or Kijiji. EX: when I was kid (so yes a while ago, but I was there not too long ago when someone traded in books and while it's better now it's not a lot better and owners have not changed), I really wanted this one book I saw here. It was a teen book, paperback. So I went home and filled a large bag with some of my books ( I started the book nerd life young). Majority of the books were great condition, some hardbacks, most newer books, and then I went back in. The lady gave me maybe 2$ for ALL those books. My dad who was with me said "You know, she really just wants this one book and was hoping that by trading all those books she could get it" and the lady basically said take it (the 2$) or leave it. My pre-teen self is still bitter I gave the books away so I could rush out of there and almost instantly regretted taking the 2$. Saying that after a year or so of boycotting I have been there many times since. The owner is not mean or anything, I have had some good conversations with her since. Maybe she was going through something at that time. So to summarize, if you are looking to stock up on books and not looking for something specific would not be the first place I recommend. If you want newer books or want a specific book and don't want to pay full price good choice. If you are OK with paying a bit more than most used bookstores because there is good variety and book choices than this is also a good place. Lastly, owner only takes in specific types of books and almost always only if they are in amazing condition. She also doesn't pay much for them. Pro for the buyer, not so good for anyone who wants to sell.

Tucked away in the Fallingbrook Shopping Centre is a quaint used book market, a treasure trove for bibliophiles. This cozy nook is filled with rows of shelves, each laden with books that hold countless stories waiting to be discovered. The scent of old paper and ink permeates the air, inviting customers to lose themselves in the charm of second-hand literature. From classic novels to contemporary bestsellers, the variety is commendable. However, this hidden gem seems to remain just that - hidden, largely due to its pricing strategy. The books, though rich in character and history, are tagged with prices that don't quite compete with other market offerings. This aspect, unfortunately, seems to deter potential buyers who are seeking more budget-friendly options. It's a place that, with more competitive pricing, could easily see an increase in sales and become a bustling hub for book lovers searching for their next great read at an affordable price. As it stands, the used book market at Fallingbrook Shopping Centre remains a charming yet underappreciated part of the shopping experience.

Today (Monday, Oct 2) I walked up to the door of the shop and found it locked. I figured, No Problem, I must be early (noting the sign saying it opens at noon). As I turned away from the door, a woman was walking the sidewalk in front of the store and we made eye contact. She obviously had seen me try the door. She didn't say anything. I turned and got back in my car, to see that same woman opening the door, going in, and then I looked at the time. 11:59. She could have smiled and said something about being just about to open up the shop, but I got an impersonal look and that was it. The usual staff member I see, another woman, is invariably helpful and sociable. But the one today needs some tutoring in how to work in the service industry.

Lots of books for sure! Pricey for used books, barely enough room to walk around, it's almost like you're digging for gold because there are so many books it's hard to find what you're looking for. I'd have to spend an entire day there to find something that i like. If you're looking for novels there are so many and you'd be going crazy to choose but for self-help books i'm desappointed. Okstore i guess :-)

First time to store - has HUGE selection of books, so much many on floor. Need bigger location. 3 stars because books I wanted original price is $1.25 but they use black marker to hide price then charge $4.25 for used book. Website says they mark books 40-60% off regular price - false! Also, they do not want to deal even when buying huge quantity of books except the 10% coupon (talking $300-400).

SO many options, books spilling over onto the floor. The books are in great condition for used books. Expect to pay about 50% of the retail price for books. Most I saw were between 7$ and 20$, depending on the quality, age, or popularity. It's important to note that they only take books in Tuesday - Saturday, when the owner is in.

I really liked this book store but the only downside are the prices. These are used books but sometimes the prices are the same as if you're buying the book new. So in that case I'd rather just have a new book that no one has touched. If they'd put the prices down a little I'd shop here more often due to how big the selection is.

I could spend hours in this book store. I love the floor-to-ceiling selection. The staff is excellent and friendly. The gentleman was most helpful. If you don't see the book your looking for, ask! They called me back the very next day saying they found titles I was searching for. Amazing atmosphere.

A wonderful selection of books with a very friendly owner. Books were a bit expensive but still reasonable, and since the store is located in a busy mall complex I'm sure the overhead is high! That being said, the service and selection is excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Great selection of books! They have everything ranging from novels to non-fiction. Plus, French books are also available to purchase and some of them are under $10! Note that if donating, the owner is absent on Sundays and Mondays so you have to send them an email.

The owner seems very nice but the books are definitely overpriced for the most part. I was disappointed to find out that I paid more than the retail price for one of the books I got! It was only evident once I peeled off the price sticker when I got home.

I’ve shopped many times at this store for books for myself or gifts for others and I always have a hard time not buying huge stacks! The staff are friendly and helpful. You can also sell them your used books for store credit

It may be silly, but there's a great "book smell" in this place. Tons of books, but very limited language section. The stock is priced a but high for what I think of as used books, seemed like around 70% of the cost of new.

A good place to look around and pick up a few things if you spot something you really like. It can get cramped as its a small space, but you just need some time to properly appreciate all the books in there!

Prices are a bit high for a used book store, I'd love to see them dropped by a buck or two then I'd buy a lot more. But other then that I love this place!

A ton of books to root through. Stacks from from floor to ceiling. Mainly fiction and journalistic non-fiction. Kids books as well.

Great place to browse through a huge stock of books. They almost need a larger location . The books spill out into the aisles.

Lots of great finds here. Organized pretty well, many books available. I also like that you can bring books in for credit.

Such a great spot for used books. I found the majority of books I was looking for here for 1/4 of the cost at Indigo!

Mountains of books; more than you'd ever read in a lifetime. Person working was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Tremendous quantity and range of titles! Looking for a back title by your favorite author? They'll have it!

This store is great! I always find something great to purchase! Wall to wall books and friendly staff!

Such friendly people and this book stores been there a long time it's nice to support local business

J'ai été surpris de trouver un livre plutôt rare en français! Excellente collection!

All the books that you could ever need and super friendly staff. Highly recommend.

I love this store and hope that there will always be used book stores like this.
