Book Exchange & Comic Shop reviews
17My daughter and I had an emergency while visiting Florida from out of state-we ran out of books! How could we face the 21 hour drive home (or two more days at the beach!) without something to read? We stopped by and were amazed. So. Many. Books. Everytime I seemingly reached the last stack, there'd be another door to another room of books. I was delighted by their expansive horror and mystery collections, and even found a few by obscure authors that I hadn't been able to get from our public library. Great experience.
Incredible and well-organized selection of books and comics. The front desk clerk was friendly and very knowledgable.
They have a huge selection of books.from children's books to YA to collector's items.not just comics. I wish some items were more price-friendly, though. Great place to secure some real gems. I love getting lost for hours in the rows and rows of books. Even better than the library for me.
I love this store. They have so many cool books stuff I wasn’t able to find other places and the gentleman there was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back here I bought a few books and enjoyed the experience! Highly recommend!
I hate leaving negative reviews for local businesses so if you want a quite place to browse books and find a great deal on prices this is it! But if customer service is important to you than this isn't for you. The owner is planted in front of his video games. If you ask questions you're made to feel bad. I want to spend my money here but I feel like I'm ruining his day by coming in, unfortunate because this place used to be a haven for me!
Yes, I went to get some help on some comic book that some ask me to check for them, the guy at the front desk seem to be disinterested when I came in. First I must have disturbed his conversation with someone whom he seem to know well and second I must have interrupted his breakfast or lunch, he did not even had the decency to wipe his hand off to check my comics, then he check the comics which I am glad they were all in plastic, he just breeze through them, and send to me "you would be luck if you get $20.00 buck for all of them". I have them all here. Not great customer service and people matters. I am Jamaican and it seem like always when I walk into a stores I am not taken seriously because I am a little dark. It is really disturbing to feel like you are being judged without even getting a chance to talk. I definitely will not be going back or recommending to this book store / whatever else he is selling in this location. I do my best to help out the local business and not always go to the big name places and this is what I get. Thanks for nothing.
Store is full of books but not organized and the guy working was not welcoming. He was eating lunch and seemed annoyed we were in the store.
I can find alot of good stuff. It's alittle disorganized and the only person I ever seen working is a gentleman at the front desk and he isn't much help or very friendly at all.
I love books and this place has them! I went in looking for a paper map of Palm Beach and a bit of MARTIN County. No joy, but I did get a cool old book about the naughty nineties. It had just come in and it caught my eye. So I looked at it briefly, got a kick out of it. So I asked how much. Got the book with the intention of gifting. Noted one torn pop up on further inspection. So now I am unsure and may check into a possibility of credit. My fault totally, used items do experience wear and in this case tear. Enjoy!
If you like comic books, then this is the place you need to go! They had everything I was looking for and more!
Bigger than it looks on the outside. So many books and cool comics. Front desk guy very knowledgeable. Walked my grandmother right to authors she was looking her. A hidden treasure of a store for all book lovers
I tried calling this store and whoever it was that I spoke to was rude as hell. Asking for a product should not turn into snide remarks and insults. Stay clear of this place. If there was negative stars I would definitely go with negative 10. So disappointed.
There are some places maybe 15 minutes away that have better prices for books, but the selection (comics and books) is phenomenal. I saw some editions that I had never seen in person. Found some others I had been hunting for too. Perfect for those who need to finish collections.
It's also pretty dang well organized and well kept. Definitely go here and check it out, just expect to pay a bit more for the selection. (Which to be fair is still less than you would buy them in MOST places) It's just the general area has some gems that are better priced. Not too big a deal.
The place is still worth it.
Let me start by saying that my husband and I are quiet, respectful adults raised with good manners and had wonderful, friendly interactions with every shopkeeper we interacted with during our weekend stay in Ithaca. However, the man running the comic store when we went in (I think he's the owner) was an absolute nightmare. He became incredibly passive-aggressive and confrontational when we went to leave without buying anything (as it happens, you don't always see something you want to buy in a store). Shocked, we stood there trying to diffuse the situation, which led to a very uncomfortable, lengthy conversation involving him bad-mouthing other comic book stores. In retrospect, we should have ignored him and left, but we were so caught off guard by his behavior, we were stunned. During the "conversation", I did actually see something that piqued my interest, but didn't buy it out of principal. Be prepared to deal with this guy if they don't have what you want, or better yet, just don't go.
Clean and well organized with a large selection. They've been there over 30 years! They have rare books, used books and even a few recent releases as well. Tons of comics as well. Great place with decent prices as well.
This book store is my happy place. Terrific selection & knowledgeable staff. I love the treasures I find here!
A bit expensive for a used book store but WONDERFUL selection and the man working there was very nice.
