Book Rack Indy

This is a cozy little bookstore with barely enough room for a person to navigate the racks but I like it. It feels so intimate especially with the books laying on the shelves flat instead of standing up. This way you can read the titles easier instead of having to lean your head over to read the spines. This bookstore is well organized. Our old friend Ken said it best! The books are grouped by genre first, then alphabetical by author within the individual genre sections. I had no problem finding my favorite authors, Lee Child, Michael Connelly and Harlan Coben. For Karen Marie Moning, I had to ask, but the staff knew exactly where she was without having use a computer. She was on the very bottom and we had to get down to the floor to see her books. No wonder I couldn't find her selections. But fortunately the staff is very knowledgeable about their shop and very willing to help you.I was pressed for time so I didn't get to shop for as long as I would have liked to, but I found one gem for only $5. I had to rely on Books In Series Order dot com slash "Author's Name" instead of my usual typed lists (they were not as up to date as I would have liked). I'm near the end of reading all the Reacher novels and Harry Bosch novels have been completed. I'm beginning to buy all the Harlan Coben stand alone books I've skipped over in the past. I'm finding the newer Moning books to be very rare finds in her Fae series.I gotta come back here when I have more time. I just know there are more treasures hiding from me but I'll find them because I am determined.

It's a nice little store, but it is poorly set up and there is not a lot you can't get cheaper down the street at Half Price Books (which is saying a lot since that store is terrible). The lady is nice, but it isn't hard to see why this store caters to a majority of romance novels all over the store.

This is an adorable shop! It's tucked into a small strip mall surrounded by several strip malls (behind PNC, and to the north of the new Starbucks). I've always wanted to go, but didn't know what to expect so I waited. How silly of me!It's bright and clean and is full of books - both new and used (mostly used, of course). The prices are very fair and there were some great deals. Even new bestseller books were a dollar or more cheaper than the manufacturer price. A great deal of:- romance (historical romance paperbacks, especially)- children's books (used and new!)- westerns- Young Adult - Large Print- and basically everything you can think of!The woman worker provided great customer service - she explained how everything is set up and the multiple sales that were going on. I told her she had an adorable store and she told me it was her mother's! How awesome to have a family owned local bookstore in the neighborhood!I will definitely come back. Today I got some pirate bookmarks as a gift but there's a lot more to check out. You could be in here for hours looking at all the books.

While confirming that a nearby sewing repair place had actually gone out of business, I noticed this independent book store next door. Silly of me to not notice it when it was just a few doors down. Now it is in the middle of the strip mall that you pass driving into Old Time Pottery. The first impression I got when walking in was "Wow". The books are densely packed and most are displayed by genre and then alphabetically by author. The shelves are full, so the chances of finding something interesting to read is pretty high. Apparently, the move was so recent that they hadn't had time to put up signs indicating the areas of the store dedicated to the genres. Simple enough solution was to ask the woman at the counter and she directed me to where I would find the genres that interested me.The majority of the books I saw were "lightly" used and seemed in good condition. I'm not a collector, so saving money on what I read is a higher priority than condition. And sometimes, the local library just doesn't carry the next book in a series, so places like this are valuable!There are some tables set up in the middle of the store with even further discounts and special themed items that you might miss otherwise.If you are looking for something to read, keep this place in mind.Review #2300

Book Rack is an alright place. When I first saw it I was excited to see a local book store. The place is mainly filled with romance books and westerns. If you are into that- you will be in luck!
