No matter if you want a first edition leather bound book of Peter Pan, a cheap copy of Bridget Jone’s Diary, or a Noam Chomsky linguistic text, you will find it at Yesterday’s Books. The selection is wonderful! Chances are you’ll find any book you’re looking for here, which is not necessarily the case with most used book stores. In addition to the great books you’ll find, the best part of this bookstore is the layout. Almost labyrinth-like in construction, the inlets and bends built into the shelves make the store seem endless. I’ve spent hours here just browsing the aisles. When you walk in, be sure to check out the books behind the glass cases- you’ll find some of the most rare and beautifully bound (not to mention OLD) books you have ever seen. The people who work here are very helpful and will help you find whatever it is you’re looking for. Check their website to see what specialties they are currently selling. Since they do focus somewhat on special books, this is the first resource you should contact when searching for the obscure and rare. I love this place with all my heart and recommend it to anybody who loves books. To find other great places in your area, visit globalYP.net, a local online directory.

Book Jungle in Springfield, Missouri (at 202 N Glenstone Ave), is where I go to find cheap and books that can be difficult to find. The place isn’t very big but it’s very worth visiting, as they really do seem to have all of the books that you can’t find anywhere else. They have RPG books, fantasy, Western, romance, children’s books, and any other type of book you could think of, and all of the books are well organized and divided by genre on the shelves. If you wanted to, you could browse for hours, and you’d definitely find something you like. The books are mostly used, though gently, and you can even go in there to sell your own used books. I seriously have never seen such a small area filled with so many books. Book Jungle’s building isn’t hard to find at all and once you get in there you won’t want to leave again. They have chairs placed around the store for you to sit in and read, with wonderful lighting. I believe they have the cheapest used books in all of Springfield, which is great for me and even better for my wallet. So for a few bucks you’ll be able to get a lot of the books you like, which is always a nice surprise. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to use globalYP.net, local directory listings that are online.
