For more than thirty years, Wooster, Ohio has been home to a used book store called Books In Stock.

The street view is cute but the inside of this store left me gobsmacked. In fact, my fella and I enjoyed it so much, we went two days in a row! There are books upstairs and downstairs – about 80,000 of them – in all varieties of fiction and nonfiction.

I found a stack of out-of-print Sharyn McCrumb books. Adam barely left the corner with the old west non-fiction during our first trip because the inventory was so rich and this area is one of his favorite genres. He gave off kid in a candy store vibes every time I walked past.

The kids room upstairs features a nice mural. Everything is in good condition, it’s organized, and the prices are fair.

We were barely a mile down the road before I was plotting a summertime return.

How fortunate for the people of Wooster they have such a nice bookstore! Find more about them here!
