This is definitely a hidden gem of Idaho Falls. Every great town needs a book store like this one.It’s hidden away in an odd industrial park (complex?) that gives it a bit of a mysterious air to it all. Mostly because I’m not sure why it would be located here? Or what should be located here in general? Anyway, it works really well for them.The entrance is clearly marked and has decorations in the windows, helping it stick out from the whole complex.The inside is well kept and clean, and actually smelled really nice. And I don’t normally notice smells.Also, there are lots of good books and I found a book I had been looking for, for a great price. Plus they have a punch card program which always helps me feel good about buying books all the time.The only thing I wish was different was if they had something else a bit more unique going for them.Overall though, I think this store is great.

Great finds for a great value. I ended up walking away with double the books for the same price as Barnes and Noble and I love what I found. Plus how can you not love the ambiance of it.

Love this place sadly they dont ever have the book Im looking for but I would recommend this place to any reader. The store really opens up once inside. The staff/owner is on point and a great conversation if nothing else.

Well curated selection of all sorts of books! Amazing atmosphere, catering to lingering explorers of the written word. We started finding must-haves within 2 feet of the front door and it just got better from there.

Fun bookstore. It is in an old industrial building, so it is kinda oddly placed and you have to park in the back. Decent prices and selection; not as varied as old bookstore that closed down but you are likely to find something you like. If I recall correctly, as of January 2020 they pay a flat rate of 50 cents for paperbacks and $1 for hardback books you are looking to sell. Would return again next time Im in town.

Lots of books, including a fun Sci Fi section. Large focus on religious texts and studies, small sit down area for reading and browsing. Fair prices to compete with online stores. Store front is a bit hard to find in a not great location

Every time we go in they are super friendly, helpful and great with kids browsing as well. The selection is wide and they have quite a lot to pick through for a tiny little store. So happy Idaho Falls has a nice used book store again!
