Lawrence Books

Nice place. I sometimes go there to find old books to give as gifts, or to get a certain edition of a book. Allows trade-ins, so it's a good place to go to if you go through lots of books (like my neighbor who likes murder mysteries).

Not bad, but... They have pretty decent variety available, and I did find a good book there, but their hardcovers are a bit over-priced. No wonder they seem so stuffed with stock. With prices like that, stock won't move. I found one HC book I would've bought, but it was clearly damaged and yet priced as though it was in excellent condition. I asked for $5 off due to the damaged pages and was curtly refused. Fine then. But do you ever expect to sell it? Not at that price.

Best used book shop in town... well worth a visit if only to browse.

Great neighborhood bookstore! Best approach is to go in without a specific book in mind. Explore the huge collection (some shelves are two rows deep) and then give them all your money. Lawrence is the only bookstore of its kind left in the city and deserves the attention and traffic of a Chapters outlet.

Not a great looking exterior, but dont be fooled. Huge selection of books, and lots of interesting finds to be had. Accepts visa which ive found to be unusual for a used book store. The lady who is usually on cash is quite knowledgeable about what is in stock, although the shelves are not super well organized.
