The Book Stop

Nice old-bookstore atmosphere. Good selection. I picked up American Journals by Camus. My sense is that his pre-Plague and Stranger works are harder to come by, so I'm glad they had this.

Lovely shop, wide selection of books at reasonable prices. Employees were friendly and patient, happy to see they had a labor section.

Time for an update! I've been giving Book Stop more visits lately, and while my original review is still valid, I find myself letting go of the book quality issue more. And I'm just enjoying the store a lot more as a result. Yes, some of the books are in crazy bad condition, but the amount of old and unique books in this store outweigh this to me now. I do often find books that I really want, but have to deny because of condition, but that's ok because I can usually find 2-3 others that are in fine condition that I want just the same. I've got a great collection of unique, pre-1910 books going, and many of them I found at Book Stop.Also, I solved the issue about pricing, or lack thereof. If the book doesn't have a penciled in price on the first pages, the general rule of thumb for more current books is 1/2 of the cover price. Older books you still have to ask, but most of the older books seem to be priced on the book.I stop in probably once a month, or whenever they're having a sale. I like the owner, she's quiet but nice and clearly a book lover. The prices are a bit high for some of the books given the quality, but that's ok because of the unique finds and treasure to be had here.

I have been a customer of the Bookstop for many years, and was pleased to see that the store has reopened after the virus shutdown, (6/6/'20). The store accepts books as credit toward books you buy, and also accepts books as donations. (Prices are very reasonable.) I am an avid reader, and have run across books I would have been unlikely to find elsewhere. I love the quiet, low key, laid back ambience of the place and the friendly helpful manager Tina. For me, there is no other bookstore in Tucson. -English Lit. major.

Not impressed. Dirty and not too friendly. Maybe I stopped in on a bad day. They looked at my vintage books for literally 3 seconds without thumbing through them. It's ok, I have a buyer, but first impressions were not good.

Book Stop Used Books is an old time, book lovershaven, most of which have been displaced by the blandcorporate stores. The space is taken up by an immenseselection of used books, in all subjects. I love theambiance, worn out & unusual, just perfect forwandering & reading. A great experience any time. They are coming off from a move from 2504 N Campbell Ave after the greedy landlord up'ed the rent & put in "new windows" to attract high end yuppie tenants. Most of the "mom & pops" were forced to abandoned or just thrown out.

This is my NEW FAVORITE PLACE EVER!!!Spoke with the owner first time I went...she was amazing. She even said I am more than welcome to bring my ice cream in and find a spot and read and enjoy as long as I desired. If you love the smell and feel of reading a good book or even a not so good book this is the place to be.

Pretty good used book store. Good idea to come here with not too solid a purchase plan. Couldn't find any Vonnegut, Robbins, or Murakami at all. But a nice browsing experience, and great selection. Prices a touch high.

I walked in with low aspirations, walked out with Sartre, Marquez, Eggers, Camus, Nabokov, Steinbeck and Salinger, almost dropped far too much on a signed first printing Vonnegut, found a fairly beautiful little book about a mule printed far, far too long ago (That book is the best smelling book I've ever known, even beat out my 50's Voltaire compilation).I mean, the place is great to just peruse, you'll find something. I actually even came here while on a date to waste some time, and we sat on the floor reading vintage erotic stories about "love business," perused the film and music biographies, sat with a photo book for awhile. It was oddly romantic. I can't condone sitting on the floor for hours here, but it's definitely a great place to find used books, and they seem to take care and time in grabbing what's good.

This is the most amazing bookstore in Tucson AZ, and I would definitely recommend to go to this bookstore.
