The Book Attic — Local services in Tomball

Each section is labeled, and the labels are large and clearly written, so you know exactly what kind of books you're looking at, which is more than most mom-and-pop used bookstores do. The fixtures of the house are still in place (including a sink and toilet in the former bathroom, and cabinets in the kitchen), so it really feels like you're walking through a book attic! They have an interesting selection, and I actually found multiple books to suit my tastes, which is rare for me. The employees (owners?) are both quite nice and helpful. They do buy back books too!

Just watch the stickers and decide if it's worth it to support a local business. :) Bring your own books for trade-in credit....

It's been a while since I've been in a used book store. Actually, it's a house which I think is wonderful! Brought back good memories. I wasn't expecting much of a selection, but their collection is decent. Lots of books that I liked & read before. They have a good children's section and a sci-fi/ fantasy collection 💘. They have a huge romance section. Not my genre, but wow, took up a couple of rooms. They also give you credit for books you want to trade in. There are games you can buy. And a small section of beautifully handmade journals. I'm definitely...
