Book-A-Holic

A good selection of used books in some subject areas and little in others. However, that's the way it is in brick and mortar stores, especially used books. Here is my one and only complaint and it's major enough I knocked the stars down to 3 rather than 5. The store is often a mess. Huge boxes of books blocking walkways. Carts of books blocking your way. As well, the shelves are often a mess. The place looks like a rummage sale rather than a book store. That's ok but then they need to charge rummage sale prices.

As an author, they're a great store to work with. This past weekend they agreed to sell several copies of one of my books 'Haunting On The Nobility'. If it works out, I'd love for them to hold more copies of my books for sale.

For a used (and new), book store, this place has a very large selection, nice areas to sit and peruse the books. It seems well run, and is organized nicely. I would always prefer a local business to a Barnes Noble type chain, so I come here first. I think they can order any book, new or used. They have periodic coupons in the Wichita Eagle too!

The employees go out of their way to insult your intelligence. Their trade policy is a sham as they only allow 50% of the trade per transaction, something no other business I'm aware of does. If you try to sell books here you are really asking for a ripoff as they make up values they feel are adequate. For used books their prices are outrageous, especially considering they rip off customers to obtain them. There have been multiple times where I have traded or sold books for a maybe a dollar when lucky only to return and see them selling it for $20 or more, a price you could easily find a new copy for. When they find especially nice trade they give customers the usual insulting return and sell them online for truly ridiculous sums. Do yourself a favor and shop and trade elsewhere, book-a-holic is the embodiment of shady business

Bookaholic is great. We've been coming here for years. We feel their terms are fair. They have always treated us very well.
