Walls of Books: it’s the people as much as the products

Andrew Oliver, owner and manager of Walls of Books, standing tall behind the counter, is soft spoken and affable. While his love of great books is immediately evident should you ask about any of his shop’s wide selection, he always gives the genuine impression that he is just as happy introducing people to the books he loves as he is reading them. His staff, who have all acquired Andrew’s demeanor, are likewise genial and knowledgable. For bibliophiles, Wall of Books does everything the right way.

Walls of Books wastes no space with nostalgic decor; the shops name fits its interior. Whatever genre or subject has your interest, you’ll find both popular and unique options on the shelf. As in any good used book store, the paperback selection is broad and ever-changing. With prices starting at $2.97, you’ll have a tough time beating the price, too. The teen and young adult selection offers ample gift ideas for holiday shoppers, especially with the impressive YA manga selection.

For younger children, and for the adults who know too-well the steep prices of new children’s books, Walls of Books should be the first stop for shopping. In fact, at Walls of Books, you’ll find an entire room for younger children. In addition to a wide selection of books, you’ll also discover unique educational gift ideas. Andrew and his team stock, among other toys, Melissa and Doug products, those sturdy wooden puzzles, arts and crafts products and toys loved by parents and children alike.

Any one of these reasons are enough to bring you back to Walls of Books, but Andrew and his team go a step further. In their trade program: return books with price sticker attached and get fifty percent of that value in store credit; use that credit for up to fifty percent of your next purchase. Teachers, Andrew has more special deals and offers than we can tell you about here.

Whatever you’re looking for, and especially if you’re not sure what you’re looking for, visit Wall of Books and let good people take care of your inner bibliophile.
