How have I not <\/strong>reviewed this place already? I have been shopping at The Book Place for just about forever! Well, better late than never, right?<\/p>\n

The Book Place is my first stop when I clean out my paperback shelves to make room for new stuff, or when I need to replace a reading copy of an old favorite. They don’t do hardbacks, so this is more of a store for omnivorous readers, not for collectors.<\/p>\n

What do they have? Well, really, what don’t <\/strong>they have? There’s a lot of romance and pop fiction (think Harlequin, Danielle Steele, James Patterson), but there are also quite a lot of the older, more esoteric authors in the mystery and sci-fi genres (think Marsh, James, McCaffrey). There’s a well-stocked section of classics and literature (such as you’d be required to read in a high school or college course), a very good section of Christian romance (all those Western and Amish girls!), and a very nice children’s\/youth section (with far<\/strong> more than Twilight and Harry Potter. I’ve found some sweet <\/strong>favourites there!). Pretty sure that they have the paranormal, western, and chick-lit sections covered , too … though those aren’t my usual fare.<\/p>\n

The Book Place is also my first stop for books on CD, because their used audio-book selection is second-to-none in my area. I’ve scored a lot of great titles here, and I love the fact that I can try stuff out inexpensively before I invest a lot in a new book.<\/p>\n

The ladies on staff are fabulous. Very friendly, customer-oriented, and quite savvy with the “if you like this author, you might also like ….” advice. They have directed me to several authors I had never considered but promptly fell in love with. They also know their stock. I’ve been able to find specific needs very quickly with their help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
