I DO NOT KNOW why they are called "Friendly" HAHAHAHA THATS A JOKE! Im never greeted when i arrive I dont understand why There has been only one lady who has ever been warm and friendly towards me...
The best place for used books!! Their prices can't be beat! They also have end of the month sales which make most of their books $0.50 a $1.00!!
Scored on the last weekend of the month sale! Managed to get 12 Clive Cussler books for $8! Always friendly staff. Well worth the drive from Valley Center!
I love this little bookstore. The volunteers are really nice, helpful, and it's pretty organized.
