Review: Recycled Books is a huge used books store. This store is not only a good place to sell your used books, but a wonderful place to find great books. Hidden within this store are the hard to find classics we all want to add to our book shelves. The selection here is incredible. Navigating the store is almost overwhelming, but the staff is very helpful. The children's section is on the lower main level to the right of the store. In this area you will also find a small homeschool specific section & an average parenting/educational guides (Ex. "The Educated Child") section. Most of the books here are in good shape & the prices are unbelievable. This store is a book lovers dream come true! You will cringe at the thought of paying full price for a book again. *This store does offer a 10% discount to homeschoolers.
Barnes & Noble Gives 20% off to homeschoolers - you must ask to sign up for the educator discount.
Just visited Recycled Books for the first time, and OH MAN, was it fun! It's a book wonderland, and they gave me an excellent store credit on my trade-ins, and the book prices were great! I came out with $90 worth of books [their prices] and paid $23 in cash! They even gave me a 'teacher discount' of 10% off, even though I have no proof that I'm a homeschool mom, except that I brought my 4 children in the store with me during a school day!
