Archives Books

Very nice place with a lot of good books at your disposal; i did not make a lot of money selling my books, but I still left the place knowing that they will find a home for my old books

My husband and I journeyed to this book store because they were giving away 5 free books per person. The store was very unorganized but the isles with books piled haphazardly were included in the free book deal and the $10/paper bag deal. $10 for a huge bag of books is an excellent deal and definitely worth rummaging. You may even find something you might enjoy but wouldn't normally look for specifically. I plan on bringing my mom and getting the $10 bag deal another day once I make it through these great free books I got!

A book shop well worthy of your attention. Hello, my fellow Yelpers. I'm a Los Angeles born native and have grown up on every kind of bookstore you can think of, including the once-famous one out in 29 Palms (now defunct).What makes Archives Books unique is the massive collection of books. One could make a joke that the books are breeding at Archive Books. There isn't much of an organizational setup, outside of the isles and isles of books, with a rough category to what's on each aisle, but I think that's part of the charm!We came by this bookshop, from their Facebook page, where you can obtain five (5) free books. There's also buy one, and get two free!! Frankly, it's an actual scavenger hunt for papers here. If you are a lover of first editions, they have them, ten fold at their warehouse (not sure if that's open to the public or not!!).Best of all, there is the older gentleman behind the counter, glasses didn't catch his name, but he's the shop owner, been in the business for 45 years and knows a thing or two about books. I have an eclectic choice in books; some would call a "Champagne Taste" if you will. What I seek is a touch obscure in nature when visiting a bookshop, but if you're just a lover of books, this is for you!This is a great place to buy for your home library. Don't have a home library? Archive Books is a great way to kick your "my first library" off with a bang! Also, all the prices are negotiable, nothing is firm, so if there's a choice selection of books that you want, this is the place and the right time to get some fantastic deals!Archive Books are very much on the level. Books that could fill a square, and then some! Best of all, some of the kindest folks that work there! I may have to chalk it up to that Oklahoma charm. This was my first visit, and I can't wait to go back!

This is my favorite book store ever! They have a great selection at unbelievable prices. Every time my mom visits, we come here and pick out a few books each. Last time I purchased 6 books for $12! Come in and find some new favorites or an old classic, and if you need help then the friendly staff is always ready to be of assistance.

This is the type of bookstore I could spend all day in. It's like stumbling into someone's old stash of books, on shelves made of cinderblocks and strips of unfinished wood. It feels like a travel through the history of the printing press.The staff was friendly and helpful, locating the book I was looking for with ease. That took all of five minutes- I spent the rest of the time I was there browsing. I was so excited to see all these super old books- they had an entire section full of "vintage books" that had everything from children's books printed in the sixties to textbooks so old they were held together by rubber bands. Nothing glamorous, but a joy for any book lover, especially old books. My favorite part of the visit is when I overheard a little boy ask for The Magic Tree House books and announce that they were "my favorite quality reading".

Shady Bookstore. Extremely Lowball offer after "accidentally" forgetting to return 5 of my books after I'm nearly home to find out some of my books are missing. Not to be trusted.

I am an online customer and cannot speak highly enough of their superb service! As it happened, the book I purchased had a printing defect - a page of smeared unreadable text deep inside the book. Only a close reader would have noticed it, so completely understandable why Archive Books wouldn't have noticed it. When I brought it to their attention, they immediately offered a prompt and cheerful refund, and told me not to bother returning the book (I have marked the bad page and donated it to our local library in hopes they might be able to give it away). In summary, they were super-conscientious and could not have been nicer about clearing up the problem!

I love stopping in to this book shop when I just want to escape. The floors and walls are lined with books and for some that may be overwhelming, but for me it's the ultimate comfort! The man who is always there is such a nice person and is always looking to help!

Love this place! Don't overlook it for any reason. Wonderful prices and lovely people working here. Please stop by and support this small business!

THE BEST . . . I could (and better not!) get lost for hours in a store loaded with such a vast array and deep quality of THOSE kinds of books. Classics! Rare books! In fact, I find I have to remind myself (gently) that I'm there now to make available to others to cherish, as much as possible of the (current) ~3500 pounds of Great Books (a long-standing habit from the family in which I grew up, whose 3K pounds of them successive universities paid to move about the U.S. as we did while my late parents' respective professorships, and our family, progressed and blossomed). I am deeply grateful to Wayne (and his crew) for ensuring that people all over the *world* will now get to enjoy the pleasure of hardbound Great Literature in various disciplines . . . and languages. Seriously, if you're ever in Edmond, OK, USA . . . THIS is THE place to stop in; and if you're not . . . THE place to trust to procure/purvey, for you, the kinds of books that make the hearts of bookish people worldwide, sing. Yes, they can likely find, and send you, THAT! exact volume or set of volumes to grace your library. Enjoy!
