Well organized and fairly large second hand bookstore. The problem is the prices here are not competitive. I would have bought more books than I did, but $7 for a used paperback (which is a very typical Grumpy price) is just outside my book budget. Free parking.

Cons:
•Wasn’t greeted when I walked in, in fact I was stared at rather strangely. My daughter felt the same way.
•Very confusing arrangement of bookshelves
• Low quantity of YA books.
Pro/Con
•High quantity of Bibles and religious related books. Obviously having all of that is awesome for that specific audience but the placement of them were odd to us. Right there when you first walk in and very boldly placed almost in your path to get to the rest of the books. As someone who is not religious, it made me feel a little uneasy.
Pros:
•If you’re looking for things to read that are from a long time ago (mainly war and religion based) this is the place for you!

Cute locally owned Book store, stopped in and found a few poetry books. One was a newer book, they had a nice selection.

Want to get lost in an interesting second hand book cranny? Great place, from Heinlein to Connelly.

Best used bookstore in town. "Grumpy" allows patrons to browse his stacks, uninterrupted, without constantly popping up to ask if he can help. (This is the only thing that might make him appear "grumpy" to some — however, for an introvert like me, this setup is ideal.) A selection far superior to any other bookstore in town (and far better prices) — my favorite find thus far was an out-of-print Tolkien biography for a couple of dollars. The owner maintains a well-stocked, varied children's section. I visit every few months and the selection is frequently updated. Middle-grade paperbacks are priced low enough that I can usually surprise my two sons with a big stack of new-to-them books for ten or fifteen dollars. I only wish he sold Grumpy Bookpeddler merch (i.e., coffee mugs or stickers). I'd buy that, too!

It’s no wonder he’s grumpy after listening to Fox/NewsMax in the store all day. Don’t go unless you want to listen to right wing political shows while you shop.

Old school used bookstore, run by a slightly aloof and perfunctory older man (hence the name of the place). The collection of books is decent and books are reasonably priced. Smelled kind of musty and reminded me of the Book Cellar in Crossville, or Walls of Books in Cookeville. When I asked about trade, the guy confirmed, but gave no specific details or any real encouragement to bring in my own books. I was hoping to find comics, Cracked, or Mad magazine, but was told that comics aren’t part of the guy’s inventory. TBH, Half Priced Books, McKays, or Great Escape is better, but this place is worth stopping in -if anything, at least to see the REALLY cool model ships on top of the book shelves…

Grumpy as me. Brought in about 75 books. He only bought 6. Made me wait 15 minutes while he checked in books, priced them, opened them etc. They weren’t mine. Then he asked me to bring them in. Ok at least he helped me take them back to my trunk. Took 40 minutes for 6 books. You may say a waste of everyone’s time.
