Definitely a really cool experience to go here.If your far from town and not a huge book lover this is probably a once a year stop. Of your a book lover, I suggest every month if possible.Their ya section was very small, as well as their books by black authors or any books that feature poc as main characters. I would love to see that extend bigger.Very well organized.Very nice staff.

What an amazing find! This is a warehouse full of books, movies, audiobooks and everything is one dollar. I could’ve easily spent hours in here. Definitely plan on coming back. Everything is used and so you have to sort through to make sure you’re getting a book that’s in good condition. I saw a couple books that were colored in or were missing pages but all in all still a ton of great options. They actually have things pretty well organized by sections and as a mom of three I spent most my time in the kids section but I definitely plan on going back to explore the other ones. Staff was great and super friendly which is an added bonus for sure.

This place is amazing. Im a pastor and always on the lookout for affordable bibles, commentaries, and theology books. Not only is the selection HUGE but the price of $1 per book is just insane. You have to see this place to believe it!

Amazing! Tons and tons of books and movies in nooks and crannies just waiting for someone to pick them up and enjoy! Being a heavy reader this is a bit of a dream come true. Lots to dig through and an ever changing selection.FYI dont expect to eat off the floors or wear your favorite white blouse. Its an old warehouse! Filled to the brim with dust and books. Get over it and read!!!

Great for books, movies & games. Classic to modern day... The entrance is on the side.

Had a wonderful time here. Staff was so friendly and the book selection was awesome. Cant better price

Had no idea this place was back here til my wife mentioned it. This was our first visit so we were uncertain what to find driving around to the back of the old warehouse Bldg. Walking in to the first garage area still left us feeling unsure but once you get thru the old rubber weather strips and down the wood pallet path it is really a nice shop. Huge collection of movies and books from all genres. We walked out with 50 titles for $50. My wife will be stopping in again soon with the kids. Before visiting another book store or even Goodwill, this should be your first stop.

Drove 5 hours to check this place out - and Im glad I did. The building isnt quite as big as Id hoped it would be but it had all different genres of well organized books! And you definitely cant beat $1 per book. I will definitely be stopping by again if Im ever in the area!

The ladies who work there are super nice, there are tons of books to choose from. If you dont find a book you are looking for go back another day as they are always putting books out.

We drove from Virginia and it was worth it. Its a little overwhelming with the sheer amount of books but I found so many. I definitely want to come back. The owner even spoke with us and everyone was so nice.

I love this place so many random book

This place was awesome. For me well worth the drive. The only thing for a heads up theres not air-conditioning so if you have issues with being in the heat wait for a day when its not so hot. There are fans though. If you have kids this is a good spot for kids books too.

If you are looking for something to read but dont want to pay full price this is the place. Just be prepared that even though they try to organize it it is not like a library. Staff is super friendly and gave us a fair price on the bag of used books we traded in. Will absolutely go again.

I love the idea of this place. But I have a few small problems with it. Ive seen so many videos and ads and pictures that people post showing their book hauls. I didnt find really any books that I was interested in at all. I drove four hours to visit their store. It was extremely hot in there. They have thousands of books and it was a book lovers dream. But for me, I couldnt find anything I was interested in. The bins are a problem for me due to having severe back problems and cant spend a lot of time digging through bins. My sister found one book that intrigued her. My thought is its similar to goodwill and you never know what youll find. Thats great but I wouldnt go out of my way driving 4 hours to visit again. If Im passing through I may look real quick. The aisles are so narrow that two people cant be comfortably back to back looking at other shelves and two carts cannot go through at once without the awkward struggle of lifting the side and apologizing to the other person. I expected on our way there that it would go one of two ways, either it would have everything we were looking for because a lot of books we were looking for are extremely common OR we would leave disappointed. It was the latter for us. We were so bummed on our way home. But the idea is great and If youre in the area, check it out. But again, you never know what youll find so maybe dont make a special trip for it especially if you live far away from it. Staff was friendly and the place was pretty clean.

I wish I had a bigger budget, and more time. You can see it takes lots of work to keep up with this place. Tons of books, so much that it was hard to decide what to take and almost cry at what you leave behind. Excellent, friendly and helpful staff. My 7 grand kids and I spent about an hour and a half and still didnt see or get to peruse everything. If you are a reader, love books, audio books, or even DVD movies theres no shame in your game by buying used. Something for every age and genre favorites.

Be prepared to dig around and look, set aside an hour or so. Cool place, it is a warehouse so its a little dusty & hot in the summer.

The building was very hot. It was busy, a little crowed. Still I found 8 books to keep me busy for awhile. Love this place. Will definitely be going again!!!

I live almost an hour and a half away from this magnificent store. Decided to take the drive out there and let me tell you, its worth the drive! The staff were very friendly and helped us find some books that we were looking for. It lives up to its name. One Dollar Book swap(aka Book Lovers Haven) : 28 books for $28!

I wish they still had a CD section like they used to have, however, I still find a wide variety of books, audiobooks, DVDs/Blu-rays, etc.

This place was great! Spent a couple hours browsing and found some gems. Not very organized but if you take your time youll find good stuff. Theres tons of bins of inventory so go back often!!

Great place! I got a ton of books for my son and a few for myself for such a great price. Will be back!

Definitely worth the 3 hour drive.. lots of books and movies and even sold some of ours to get the new books we needed.. will definitely be back and make it a once a month thing..

My daughter had been wanting to visit & she was happy to find herself 14 books! And mom left with a couple too. 😂

Lots of books old and new. Great place to buy affordable books.

Hot day when I went here, but no AC in the building, though they did have numerous industrial fans going. Maybe I didnt look well enough to see what they would take in for credit, and I took a bag of books on cassette tape, unfortunately they do not accept cassettes. Otherwise it is a bookworms paradise.

So many books! Only $1 each. My family and I found many good books to enjoy.

This is a wonderful place for parents and teachers and grandparents to find books for young people to read. The children and young adult section is wonderful great variety and very well organized. Of course a dollar a book is more than a bargain.

It legit is a warehouse of books!!! I loved it. My daughter had a blast! My son grabbed books to help with studying for ACTs and SATs. However, it was a bit stuffy. Im sure the heat contributed to that. Also, I was disheartened by the endless containers of books that I wondered would ever reach the shelves😞. I know they probably will never get all of it put away even if they hired a hundred people.

Love this place! Tons of books to go through and a fun way to spend a Saturday for us book nerds!

This place is a book lovers paradise! So many great books, some that seemed brand new and others that were well loved. I went for the first time today and Im officially well on my way to creating my son his reading corner!

This place was awesome! Even if you arent in the buying mood, it was fun just to wander the stacks and see the different books available. Definitely worth a visit!

Such a random place! It has a great selection for an even better price. Bring books to swap for store credit because they are generous.

Im not a book person however my wife absolutely loves books we looked through entire place ...its not your typical store it looks kinda rough for a public business but dont let that stop you there are plenty of good deals to be had ...the ppl running the place doing pretty good for being a dollar book store set up in the rear of a warehouse...I will buy books there again ....btw I drove 5 hours to go to this store and we were not disappointed

Huge place full of books, movies, games, audio books. Everything is organized pretty good. Though there are multiple large boxes full of books on the floor that havent been put away yet. Everythings pretty much a free for all. You can fit a full sized cart down all of the isles so a wheel chair should be fine. You can bring books in for store credit which is great if you have some you want to get rid of, doubles, whatever. Its not much though and they dont check condition as they just throw them in another big container bound for the floor. I brought in approx 25 books in great condition, some brand new, and recieved $11 in store credit. You wont find many books that are HOT right now but you can find some gold if you have the patience. If youre a reader, its worth at least one trip.

I understand this is a $1 bookstore and I shouldnt have high expectations but the bone of the books in there are worth that.

Very good! Best place in Dayton for books!! Will be returning again.

I cannot say enough about how amazing this place is. We made a four hour road trip and were not disappointed. I am a book fiend and this place is the motherland. Haha. I found so many books I had been searching for. And of course, you cant beat the price! Every book truly is $1. They have DVDs, audio books, childrens books, books, books, BOOKS! I spent less than I thought I would but still came home with 4 boxes of books. I am currently deciding where to add the library addition on to our house, haha. It was an amazing trip and an amazing store. I highly recommend this to anyone, no matter what genre you find yourself gravitating toward, you will find it here. If youre debating a trip, stop, get in the car and GO. It is so worth it.

They have an extensive collection of many different books and genres. They have some newer books and worn books but all worth $1. They also had movies and tv shows on dvd! If you are looking for something specific it might be difficult because its a huge building! I would definitely recommend spending a while here looking around. There are a lot of hidden gems throughout.

So many books. I intended to only stop for 30 minutes and stayed way longer. Oh well. Left with a ton of books for a great price.

Great experience as always. I could spend hours there, the staff is very nice, accommodating and helpful.

Great warehouse location where all books are $1!! Was able to stock up. Found several biography and history books, aisles of fiction, lots of audiobooks, dvds and childrens books as well. Will be back

THE SMELL... 💕 the price.... The collection. What a dreamy place!

So Im not one who likes to search for things but I find I quite enjoyed doing it here. Staff was super friendly and helpful! Not one perso. Look as if they disliked their jobs. Now my go to place for books!

Best place ever! No need to pay full price for a book anymore. Great way to recycle. Loads of books on the shelves, and so many more books still in huge boxes on skids to be unloaded. Loads of kids books. Went specifically for gardening books and found some great ones. If you cant find something you like here, theres something wrong with you!

I love coming here! The childrens books are organized well enough that I can easily find many books I am looking for, plus extras that catch my eye. Although the other books dont seem to have a lot of rhyme or reason to their placement at times, some digging in any random spot yields treasures and thats part of the fun.

Just shelves and shelves of books. wasnt looking for anything specific. Huge romance section. Some books like theyve never been touched! Staff was super nice!

I saw this place on TikTok and was so excited to visit! Unfortunately it was kind of a let down. It was hot, dark, and dusty. Most of the books were in really poor condition. We did find a few gems! You get what you pay for.

This place is super awesome for kids, teachers, parents & adults. Want a great place to find nearly ant book, movie or audio for $1 ?? Then you gotta check it out. I enjoyed going there so much that I wanted to work or even volunteer. The boss, Missy, is a great gal ! Her staff Diane & Alyssa are so sweet & helpful. Help support our small businesses. Half Price books dont even compare to One Dollar Book Swap !! Oh, if you bring any any food for the homeless, theyll give you a free book for each item you bring in. Lets keep Dayton Strong !!!!

More fans or Air conditioning would be perfect. Otherwise it was great. Loads of books.

If you want books - a lot of books - head here and get them for cheap. This is a great way to fill a classroom with books or your own home library. The kids can go wild and fill a bag in the bulk area.Great organization here and you can find a ton of things to feed your reading appetite.You can volunteer too and earn free books. A fun way to volunteer with the family.

How could you not love a place that sells one dollar books and movies?! This place is a gem. We did the Boonsoft Museum, Airforce Museum, and the book swap. What a great day trip in Dayton!

Great stop for a used book. Single level warehouse full of used (and a few new) books. As others have stated, the organization of them is not great. Although I thought it would be a complete free for all, they are catalogued mostly by author and section albeit not fully alphabetical. Make sure you have some time to look through. It takes some time but there are many good choices. Highly recommend.-Skyhook

No Handicap Parking. That doesnt help when a person has breathing problems or other problems.

I got several great deals here. Wish we had places like this in West Virginia. Books were clean and well organized. Staff were friendly and non-intrusive.

This place is really cool!!Dont like the building floor you

Good place to buy books for kidsTo keep them busy .

Weve been here a couple of times now. We have 4 children aged 4 to 1. Weve only looked through the childrens selection so far. But its amazing! Theres plenty of room and selection for our kids to have so much fun finding a book for themselves. They love coming here. They get so excited to go pick out a new book. They also have a great selection of DVDs!

Absolutely wonderful! So many books! Will definitely go again

Well put together. Wonderful evolving selection.

The best best place to get books new and old. Wont go anywhere else to shop for books plus its just awesome looking threw all they have

There is a large variety of books and media. The owner is lovely and everything is a dollar!

Do not let the exterior facade fool you! This is a gem for book hunters, childrens books, and text books. Friendly staff to boot!

All good books are sold on eBay and don’t hit shelves. Management is rude. No air conditioning.

As far as management goes, 0. As far as books, its ok.Firing an employee for absolutely NO reason is unacceptable.

Any book or movie for a dollar. Not too hard to find the books your looking for, and they are a buck. Note to auto enthusiasts plenty of Chiltons and Haynes repair books (in the rare event you tube is showing it wrong) and they are for a buck.

Lots of good books for only a dollar apiece.

Awesome place, great selections, and friendly staff.

Who knew this place existed before TikTok?! Its a bit hidden, nestled in a nondescript building, with parking in the back. Once inside there are aisles and aisles and aisles of $1 books! How can you go wrong? Totally worth all the visits!

Great place to go and find buried treasure!

Love it here! Best place to get books.

I love it!! It is literally a treasure hunt!! You will get lost and lose track of time! My all time favorite book store!! Staff is also amazing!!

I love this hidden gem in Dayton. Many books, CDs, & DVDs for $1.00. The staff were friendly & helpful. If you have children or home school, this is a great place to purchase children books. Bring a can good for the Foodbank & they offer something good for your donation. They also buy school books, but not sure how much.

My only real complete is there doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to the placement of many things. While looking in the movies serveral of one movie would be together but then several more of the same movie seemed like theyd just been put in random spots on the shelfs. It would be nice to be able to find things easier, some sort of system for the books. Sure they have general areas, and some better know authors have their own shelf space but even going in knowing exactly what you want and having some idea where to find it, your not likely to find what your looking for even if they do have it. You cant ask for help either because the volunteers/employees dont know whats there or where.

They had a variety of books to choose from. It was very clean and organized. The staff was very friendly and helpful

If you are a reader, you will be in heaven at the book swap.

AWESOME PLACE! I RECOMMEND

A good place to complete set you are missing one or two books in the set. They are offering 20 cent for each book you want to sell.

Very nice people, books are organized, great experience.

You want free movie go to there trash can they throw alot away

Great selection of kids books for teachers!

One of Daytons great Hidden Treasures. If youre ever given a chance to go there definitely worth it. Staff is very friendly and helpful there.

Best value ever and the stock changes continuesly.

Great selection of books! Could stay there for days!

Great place to find books, dvds, and some miscellaneous items all for $1 each. Some fantastic things to find here!!

Love this place! Got so many great books. Cant wait to go back!

Hidden gem, building leaves something to be desired but a good place to pick up books on dime. Nice lighting and great customer service. Can purchase a bottled drink. Books, movies, and music cds are $1

Doesnt look very interesting on the outside but if youre a book lover youll see how much treasure there is inside. Such a huge collection and variety of books.

I have been shopping there for a while and you cant beat the prices if you love to read or even listen to audiobooks. Children have a section too. Very nice.

Very exciting several selection to choose from

Love this place amazing people amazing selection and eveything is 1.00 loooove this place

Totally overwhelming! Unless you know the author of what you are looking for its hard to find stuff.

Thousands of books for a dollar or less. Great for kids books whether it be novels, easy reads, or board books. The fiction section has some complete series and older books that are hard to find. They also have a large DVD/CD section. This area includes audio books, LPs, and some video games. It is worth checking out if you have a small budget, are a teacher, or have a voracious reader.

$1 for $1 trade and very helpful staff 👏 tell everyone about thus place ! A+++++

My favorite place to go book hunting! For all the bibliophiles (book lovers!) you must make the trip. It will be worth your while and more. Just make sure to double check their hours of operation before you head out. Its a great place to take your kids to let them pick out whatever their heart desires to read! A vey large section of the store is dedicated to kids books!

Thousands of books very very cheap cool place to stop by books records videos books on tape they have it all

Tons of books to look through and buy! Will be going back..

Great selection of books great atmosphere

They have any book you could ever think of!!! I love this place !!

Greg has great deals and is very supportive of community. What a great place to shop!

Great book selection. You never know what you will find, a gem, or rare find.
