They have a ton of books. You will probably find something there that you didn't know you were looking for. Has a few signed books too.

The small "messy" bookstore with a helpful, knowledgeable owner that every town should have.

Wow!! What a selection to choose from. They have it all. Was pointed in the right direction and quickly found a couple books to enjoy. Would gladly return if I'm ever in the area again.

This place is FULL of books. You probably won't find what you're looking for, but just ask the owner, he knows exactly which aisle and shelf to find a book on. Not too pricey either.

I was greeted at once by meandering rows of overburdened bookshelves, and the ever enticing aroma of old pages filled with knowledge, not yet attained. The isles seemed to stretch all the way to the end of the room and beyond. And there were books stacked in piles from the floor up, in-between rows and in every possible direction.In that moment, I was filled with a fictional wonder that only the likes of Lewis, Tolkien, or Rowling could evoke.The proprietor was a sprightly and knowledgeable old fellow with gray hair and glasses. He wasn’t entirely odd, but not entirely normal either. And that appealed to me. Such are those who know the Rubaiyat by name; and he did.During our first exchange he was a little disgruntled and terse, but I was fast spoken and quick to respond for a man of his age and speed. The pace of those who move in tandem with the modern world can be an assault to those who’ve mastered the noble virtue of slowing down. But after matching his stride and keeping with it, he spoke to me eagerly and with kindness. And I to him.I suspect he’s the sort of person who prefers the aloofness that such a quaint establishment provides; quietly sorting, diligently organizing, using secret magic to move boxes here, and there ?And resting, hidden just behind a mountain of books serving as the checkout counter.Thank you Brad.The work you do serves far more than the local community; but all of humanity.Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva ?♂️

There is no shop like BDS in Fargo. You have no idea what you'll find, but it's guaranteed you'll find something. There are HUNDREDS of great finds. Classics, poetry books, original copies, mystery novels, cookbooks, you name it. The owner is so kind. Selling books here was a great experience, and he offers you fair prices. Definitely will be back!

I don’t make it up this bookstore a lot but it is one of my favorites in North Dakota! I’m always able to find something I like and one of the best parts is the search!

A hidden gem in Fargo. The owner is great and willing to help you find something. I wish I asked my first time it is a lot to look at.

This store is what I pictured in my head as a thrift book store growing up. Also, I really enjoy the owner he's always down to talk books!

Even though there are thousands of books stacked floor to ceiling, the proprietor knows exactly where each subject is located. He is very friendly, and will answer any questions you might have without hesitation.

A bit of a hot mess to physically move around in but a great used book shop with a friendly and knowledgeable owner

A wonderful store with a very helpful owner. There are rows and rows of books with boxes of books all over. Old books, new books, books about tattoos, books on religion, wild west books. He has them all. The only thing missing is a comfy chair to enjoy your soon to be new book in!
