What a little hidden gem this place is! It looks small but you go in and there’s tons of little aisles and books and crannies to explore. I could spend all day here. Reasonable prices and friendly owner/service.

A lovely used book store in the heart of historic downtown Hillsboro. Wall to wall bookshelves and narrow walkways with the occasional stack of books on the floor only add to the charm and excellent selection to be found here. And a good trade policy makes finding a good new book or 2 on a budget easy.

Excellent little bookstore to trade in your used books. The owner is very nice and she has a great selection of books.

This store would get a four or five stars in normal times. The store is locally owned with a reasonable selection which makes it the type I like to support. But its a small space and not using masks in defiance of the law and common courtesy for your customers is a deal-breaker. I did not feel comfortable shopping there. Ill check back in a year or so or when this is all over. I wish them well in the meantime.

Owner is very helpful and friendly. I was searching for specific large print books for an elderly family member and she remembered and contacted me later to offer what she found. I appreciated how she made it work during the covid shut down....and especially loved that she kept jigsaw puzzles in rotation! Highly recommend this store.

Being new to the area, I wish I had explored more pre-pandemic with my kiddo. This place would be perfect for a coffee/book date since its a few minute stroll from Decadent Creations ;)I was able to call in and ask about some kids books, confirmed what I wanted, and the friendly owner brought them out for curbside pickup! I felt so good giving my money to a small business and the local community.

Very impressed. They had a ton of selection, and unlike a lot of used book stores, there are actually a lot of timely / recent books. They also have a restroom, and a little reading nook for kids.

During the Covid shutdown of the library, we needed someplace to get books. My husband needs a lot of books. Arcade is wonderful and has so many selections. My husband only reads SiFi so difficult to find the type he Likes. Arcade has what he is looking for. Thank you so much.

A really cute shop!! Great finds for children & romance novel lovers. Its 1/2 off the cover price, so it can get a little pricey if your looking for a deep discount. Overall, youll enjoy searching for rarities.

I hadnt been here until today, I took my 2 and 4 year olds with me. I wish i would have got the ladies name, but she was absolutely a pleasure to be around. After my girls and I where done picking out books, they got a special treat for doing so well. After picking out 3 books(two kids and one for me) it was only $9. I am upset I didnt know about this place sooner. Our visit made the day for myself and my kids. I will definitely be telling everyone I can about this place. You guys got a returning customer for sure! Thank you so much! I hope to get the ladies name next time I go in😊

Review №23

Randomly came across this store when I found myself down in that area due to other business. This place had probably the best romance section of any store even more robust than Powells. I will say it is a bit confusing the layout however and it took me a while to find the author I was looking for. I also wish the prices were posted on the books or even throughout the store to know how much items will cost. But otherwise, it was a good store.

Hidden gem for cheap used books. They have plenty of great titles. The only drawback is the place is tiny and it can be hard to squeeze through, and a bit cluttered.
