50+ years of book recycling · Dallas, TX
Since 1973, our neighborhood bookstores have kept good recycled books, movies and music in circulation — two Dallas stores, thousands of shelves, and always room to sit down and read.
Chapter one · The shelves
Mostly wonderful used things, plus ways to order almost any new title — every purchase keeps two independent bookstores in business.
Fiction, non-fiction, paperbacks, hardbacks, large print, magazines, other languages — plus new, used and out-of-print titles by local writers.
Browse books
An inexpensive, quieter-than-average place to spend time with your child, grandchild, niece or nephew — young readers matter here.
Browse children’s books
DVDs, VHS and even LaserDiscs — great films for every movie lover, priced to go home with you.
Browse movies
CDs, LPs, 45s, 78s, cassettes, even 8-tracks — crate-digging welcome.
Browse music & recordings
Comics and manga, sheet music and the kind of finds you only make in a shop that’s been trading for fifty years.
Browse comics, manga & sheet music
Browse and order audiobooks through Libro.fm — every purchase supports the bookstores.

Over 800 Google reviews across our two stores.
The absolute best bookstore in Dallas. I stopped in while visiting and spent hours inside, looking through it, and found so many wonderful books. What a range. I will go there every time I’m in Dallas to support!
Such an amazing and unique store! My husband and I love going to bookstores and this is definitely in our top 3. Don’t let the storefront fool you, because this is a store that feels endless — and you find a great selection of books old and new.
Friendly, helpful staff. Has a great program for turning in your used books for store credit or even cash. I could spend hours browsing the shelves.
Easygoing atmosphere — I spent an hour reading a book I didn’t buy, no problem. Don’t miss the literature room tucked away between the front and back areas! Excellent selection. Highly recommend.
