Great selection of antiquarian books! The lady at the front desk was very helpful and nice. Most of the antiquarian books were cheap, too. Some were in bad condition, but mostly good. Would definitely recommend!

If you are in the area and love books, a stop into John K King books is a must! Lots of treasures at low prices.

Thoughtfully curated collection of used books. Organized and interesting, a really delightful smaller satellite to the many floored John K. King downtown.

Love this book store. It’s just a smaller version of their location in Detroit. Our whole family just loves the John K. King Books stores. We visit them every year when we come to Michigan, it’s a must for us!! The gentleman working that day was very friendly & knowledgeable bout the store. Thanks for a great experience while shopping.

Love a good used bookstore and the Ferndale location does not disappoint. I was able to find a book written by a Roman Emperor in 2 AD!

This place is great. While there ought to be places like it everywhere you go there just aren't and the number of such old school used bookstores seems to shrink with each passing round of Amazon dividends. Death to Amazon. Long like the (John) Kings! As a sampler of today's haul, I found histories of Mediaeval Turkestan and the Balkans the likes of which Ive been hunting for almost 20 years while the teen intellectuals brought home hardbound Tolstoys, Hawthornes and a bunch of National Geographics. Hardbound heaven.

I have not lived in MI in almost 15 years, however I have fond memories of roaming the aisles of this musty bookstore finding some gems.On a recent visit back to MI, I was not disappointed. Same musty smell and same great random, eclectic book collection.If you love books this place is your jam.
