Awesome used book store with a huge variety of genres, 2 floors. Its extremely organized and maintained regularly. The books are mostly like new. The manager is a super nice lady who I enjoyed chatting with. The prices are affordable. Its a nice and nostalgic vibe.

Rebecca was so, so friendly. She greeted us warmly when we arrived and answered all of my questions. The store itself is amazing, with many more books than I expected to find. I could have sat for hours in the basement searching and reading. This store is definitely a treasure chest of surprises and I will be back!

A place to come browse and curl up in a chair by the window and read. Or come and discuss the book youre reading with the amazing staff or other bookworms roaming the isles. This is indy bookstores at their best!

They have a surprisingly large selection and the owner is very helpful. I came in to look around and nothing immediately caught my eye. I asked if she had any suggestions and after listening to my list of books Ive recently enjoyed, she gave several awesome recommendations that Ive really liked. Ill definitely be back!

This used bookshop had quite a following when it was at a different location west of downtown. One of their very popular offerings was a selection of new books and gift items like cards, bookmarks, and paperweights. Now that theyre on Main St. those items are gone, the space is much smaller and the gift items are gone. New management is very pleasant but the store seems disorganized and you have to hunt for things. I favor alphabetized shelves myself and an abundance of categories that make it easier to find specific books. If youre a browser you wont mind.

My only wish is that there was some type of cataloging. It was a bit overwhelming looking through the selection. I ended up not finding what I was looking for. But I did find some good stuff regardless 😉

Great place to spend time! Pretty good selection and prices (half off publishers price, unless otherwise marked). Browsing can be a little tedious though; not all the sections are organized by author or alphabetical order.

The bookworm recently moved downtown under new ownership. Same great selections, same great prices and helpful staff. With a great trade in for credit program. Large selections of science fiction in the basement, romance novels and cheap kids books on the top floor.

I have been visiting this charming bookstore for many years. The inventory is always changing and the prices cant be beat. Ive been able to find the newest book club titles and the owner has also helped me order hard to find materials. I understand this to be a family business and the shops owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. She is always ready to help or just chat about good books! Visit this adorable store - you wont be disappointed!

Great place for my daughter to explore, huge selection (bring snacks if your kid has to look at every book like mine did),they have small sitting areas and if you bring your old books you can trade/get credit for new ones (used).

This is clearly your down home feel of a store. Yes it is just another book store you could say but then again you could say it isnt . I have lived close to or always around this down home little bookstore. The people have always been very kind as well as very helpful in helping me wat ever suited my fancy at the time to read. love this store and hope it is around another 30 plus years.

The Bookworm is a great store. The atmosphere is quaint and comfortable. Everyone there is pleasant and friendly. You can spend hours searching through the stacks or you can get help finding anything you need right away. The Bookworm has been my favorite shop to vist for years and my teenagers love going as well. If you are looking for a relaxing, wonderful shop to visit, this is the place!

Very good bookstore. It recently moved from its old location of 711 Bower Street. They have a very good selection of used books.

The Bookworm is more than a book exchange store. Although you can find out of print, obscure and current titles, you can also find unusual merchandise, knowledgeable staff and an inviting atmosphere. The Bookworm has a long list of faithful clientele who frequent the shop for good conversation as well as an expansive and ever changing inventory. Its owner, Karol, is a voracious reader. She will take the time to understand your preferences and help you find your ideal literary fit. I highly recommend the Bookworm to my friends and family. Whatever your genre of choice, treat yourself to a visit to this neighborhood retreat.
