Bubba's Book Swap — Local services in Kingsport

I've waited a year to get around to checking this place out... Man, I was not disappointed!

In the middle of downtown KPT, Bubba's Book Swap has been feeding the needs of bibliophiles for over a decade. When you walk in, you can already tell that your trip will be worthwhile, greeted by bookoos of used DVDS that have been resurfaced or gently viewed. Throughout the shop, there are sections chock full of your favorite genres and authors. If the shop is overstocked with a particular book, it is immediately placed in the bargain bin.

Trading with them is easy, as they offer a fair exchange of store credits for your trade ins. Have something to trade that they are overstocked on or they cannot sell? Not to worry, they will donate said books to a local charity.

From a personal experience, they do not disappoint. Found a cookbook and several other reads practically brand new for sell more than 50% off. What are you waiting for? Go find something...

The atmosphere is intoxicating. The hospitality is extraordinary. The big fat cat librarian assistant, who happily waddles around and helps you pick out your books, is the most round, stout, sweet, loving and just funniest cat you'll ever meet! The owner is the best friend you always cherish in your books! He's fantastic and always happy to meet a new face and help find books and ALWAYS takes in books! The trade in value is honestly awesome and the prices of books are a STEAL!!! I love Bubbas and always look forward to coming back!!!! I always save money but have tons of new...

A great used book store with a very nice selection of books. I am mostly a reader of sci fi, fantasy, horror, and suspense/thriller books. I was impressed with the number of newer and classic books and the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner.

I did not know about this book store until today, even though it's been in business for 16 years! I wish I had known about it sooner, but I will definitely frequent it often now that I do know about it! I highly recommend it to anyone in the Tri-Cities, TN/VA area who...
