I am looking for any store/place where I can buy used books. I am aware that there are great options for this online, but I'd also really like to go to one of these places. I'm thinking of a price CAP of $15-$20. Places in Andover or Methuen would be good. Not looking for a particular kind of book or genre.
"Books you don't need in a place you can't find"
Love that place!
https://usedbooksuperstore.com
It’s in Burlington. I’ve never been. Read an article recently about it and it’s on my “might be too dangerous on the wallet to visit” list.
This place is so wonderful! Definitely stop and check it out sometime, you won’t leave empty handed!
Seconding this. Make the pilgrimage (and have lunch somewhere near the mall) you won’t regret it
There's a Used Book Superstore on Rt 114 in Middleton on the Andover line
Came here to mention this store. Go there once a month or so!
And a second location in Burlington. Great stores.
Seconding the Used Book Superstore. Bob (owner) has been great sending books to troops stationed overseas.
I highly recommend More Than Words.
I don't work for them, but I support them because I believe in their mission. They offer older kids in the foster care system, kids experiencing court-involved homelessness, or kids who may have mental health challenges a place to work, to learn skills that may help them. Profits go to fund programs.
They explain their mission much better than I can.

Libraries have sales a few times a year
Bull moose Salem NH has lots of used books
Do they buy books? I have alot of books i was looking to sell.
Savers
There is or was one in the Lawrence industrial park.
Antique stores are a good option. Some stores that have multiple sellers within it will sometimes have more modern books for sale. Could be worth browsing.
A lot of thrift stores especially if they're like personally owned or sponsored by a church will have books for really cheap Savers normally has cheap books especially if they're running deals and then check Facebook Marketplace a lot of people will just post like a bunch of books and you can pick and choose and it's normally pretty cheap and then I just look for garage or yard sales once the weather has warmed up a little bit spring people really love to be getting rid of stuff especially books
The last time I went to the Savers in Plaistow there was a big sign saying they weren’t accepting books, which is a bummer because I don’t like to donate to religious orgs. I’d like to donate them to a jail or prison, but it seems like a huge hassle
There is a flea marker in Amherst NH in the summer that was a great place to buy used paperbacks. Loved it for my summer beach reading.
Well Read Books in Plaistow is a nice place.
Most libraries run book sales once or twice a year. Not a bookshop experience, but you can score stacks of books for very little money.
Some libraries have used books for sale all year long too...depends on the library! And the money goes back into the library funds too.
Valley Wild Books in Littleton, MA is amazing.
Raven used books
Lala Books in Lowell and Lowell Book Company both have used books.
Come to Cambridge. Seriously. There are a lot of great local bookstores that have good used book sections. Pandemonium Books in Central Square is my go-to, but there are tons of great, interesting bookstores, mostly within walking distance of eachother.
Great! My college is in Cambridge
Perfect! The Cambridge Public Libraries are really good, too.
Google is your friend.

Annie’s Bookstore in Worcester
Bonfire Bookshop just opened in Fitchburg
Savers has a good used book section
Googles “used book store”
Hmm. Interesting.
Google does not cover all. It's fun to see people, in real time, share things that may not be on Google.
