Ordered a box of used history books from Third Street Books. Received it in a couple days after ordering them. Was kind of surprised on how small the box of used history books turned out to be. And somewhat surprised to find there was only five books, a postcard, and bookmarks. And a little space. The books were Frederick Douglass - Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Born To Be Hanged, Thomas Jefferson And The Tripoli Pirates, On The Map, and On This Day In History Sh t Happened, Now, the last was a 'advance uncorrected proof' - it isn't for sale. Also On The Map was classified on the back as a Reference book not a history book. Still, the books are covering topics I am interested in, were well protected and in great condition. The problem is they cost me $40. Shipping and handling adds another $20. And on Amazon they cost, all five, a total of $20 dollars and 35 cents if you get them used. That is if you add up the lowest cost of all five used books at the time of this review. You could try to say that those used books would have been in horrible condition but having gotten used books from Amazon before I can say that they have always been in very good or fair condition,. Of course that cost is not including shipping and handling. So...mabe 30 dollars tops. Once again, well portected, interesting titles, no problem with what I got. Just have issues with how much the...

I have never once had a problem untill today when one of there staff started belittling me over the fact I wasn't wearing my mask properly in there book. Medically I have to wear my mask under my nose as it's put me into the hospital on multiple occasions due to having Hyperemesis gravidarum. A extram form of morning sickness. I understand commenting and asking people to comply to the mask mandate if they are infact maskless, but putting a person down in front of a full store because it's not covering your nose for medical reasons Is simply NOT okay. I recommend this location alot, but will never...
Read moreThird Street Books is one of my all-time favorite book stores! I have been a patron for years because of the knowledgeable and friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and superior collection. With an account, you can collect rewards points towards discounts on future purchases. Their website allows you to order almost any book you can think of to be picked up in store (for no extra charge!) or to be shipped directly to you. They sell used books at reasonable prices, marked with a small red dot on the spine so you can easily tell where the best deals are. Even if I could find better prices at a chain store or online, I always prefer to shop locally and support this...
