Very friendly and great customer service..however, the book selection is limited and somewhat older or out of date.

Many old books, however it felt like all the shelves were going to fall apart, the roof was going to cave in, the floor was going to fall under the weight,Insecticide, was still in the air when we enter the shop. My pregnant wife could smell the poison permeating everything inside the shop. We'll never go in there again.

Was this store always located off the front of Broadway? I remember in the back of Half Price Books in the early 80's there was a little annex building in the back of the parking lot. I was probably around 12 or 13 years old. I was obsessed with the movie West Side Story and I remember talking to a man in the little building in the back of the parking lot about the movie. He was so sweet. I wonder if this was part of the Antiquarian Book Mart or of Half Price Books.

This bookstore, the oldest independent bookstore in San Antonio, is by far my favorite place to browse. They only sell used books and you can find books on almost any subject you can think of, including history, film, religion, animals, etc.

The owner is just so friendly and sweet, it's such a time machine going into the place too!! I could browse the books for hours and all the Knick knacks added so much personality to place. Love it, love it, love it

Robert is such a nice guy! He helped me get a gem I had my eyes on for so long at a real reasonable price. He was so sweet he shipped it the same day I got it in like 3 days.. this is how a real bookseller should be. Much love Robert, you made me a really happy guy! I will take care of the book like how you watched out for it and put it in a mylar so it doesn’t get damaged. Looking to do business with you again, you’re the man!!

I parked behind Half-price Books and walked to the front door on Broadway. This place is bigger than I anticipated and has several small rooms each with clearly marked sections and shelves. There was a ton of American history toward the front middle and Texas history in the front room, and a decent amount of everything else toward the back. The owner was friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. There seemed to be a good variety of both decades old books and books that were about ten years old. I bought two books that I love and I'll be back.

One of my favorite bookstores in town. Great selection in most subjects. Bob, the owner, is so knowledgeable about so much. I always find interesting things here, including a lot I don't see elsewhere. Particularly good for older, hard-to-find material. Great collection of Mysteries, Music, Poetry, and Literature, as well as his specialties in Texana and Military books.
