Absolutely LOVE this store. Educators discounts and free kids books with enough points? Thank you! My last trip was 6kids books and 2 adult and my total was under $12.Location is a little weird and quirky but if youre like me thats just part of what you love about it ❤️
Absolutely fabulous bookshop hidden away off of a frontage road next to a pawn shop. Books are very reasonably priced, with almost all under $4.Good science fiction and mystery sections (for HC and trade PB)Well worth a trip!
I have only come here to bring them book donations. But I love this little bookstore! Great prices on gently used books. And the staff is so friendly.
This is a slightly hidden gem right off the Beltline and next to a pawn shop! Very pleasant book browsing experience, with convenient chairs and a nice accessible bathroom. I just wish they stocked more essay collections.
Expanded and fabulous! More rooms for more genres. They aggregate the estate sale collections, and sort it out so you can find your yard sale gems! Good prices, good rewards program, great staff.( Yes, it really is in that building with the pawn shop and Pitchers Pub. Its not a trap!!! )
Book addicts suffer from many of the trials that drug addicts do. They have to deal with unpleasant people to get what they want. That isnt the case at The Book Deal. These guys actually want you to come to their store and buy stuff. Theres even coffee and chocolate to prove it. Its a bit of a maze to find once you are in the building. Shades of the Overlook Hotel, but there are signs and readers can, well, read.
You are sure to find a book you like based on the wide variety of books The Book Deal has. They are also expanding, so will have even more variety. They are super friendly and helpful! Their books are in great condition and at a great price. I love their literacy campaign in Madison of giving one book for every book bought.
This place is pretty hard to find. If you know to look for black sign with white lettered 319, youll find it, then find the miniscule yellow arrow sign that says BOOK SALE, and the door that leads to a long, but well signed, hallway to the book store.But once you get there youll be so pleased! Lots of selections and great prices!
Great variety, great prices.
This place is completely unassuming from the outside; you could easily drive by and have no idea it is there. That said, once youre inside, it is a pretty awesome, quaint bookstore. There are several different room, each with their own themes. Everything is really well organized and clean. The employee was really helpful and when they noticed I was looking at a specific genre, he offered to bring more out from the back. All in all, I will totally go back.
Tucked away in a nondescript office building, The Book Deal is a gem. With a simple pricing model and well organized shelves, it’s a breeze to navigate. The most expensive item (rare first editions and signed copies) top out at $9.99, so you’re bound to get a bargain. The desk was staffed by a pair of gentlemen who obviously love books. It was a fun stop, one that we will definitely make again.
Without a doubt, the best place to go shopping for the classics of literature in Madison. Further, the amazing staff here is on a mission to foster community literacy, giving at least a book away for free for every book sold.Plus the prices here are unbeatable. I love shopping at The Book Deal!
Total neighborhood gem! Tons of books in all topics, but heavy on sci-fi. Great prices and friendly staff. They also have a rewards program.
Very cool store with good selection and reasonable prices. A little hard to find but definitely worth the trek
The Book Deal is the real deal! Book lovers, go, now!If youre looking for a cozy spot to sip your latte while you browse expensive titles, this book store is not for you. BUT...if youre looking for something way better - quality used books, amazing prices, large selection across all genres, friendly staff, and a business that gives back to the community, then The Book Deal will be your new favorite spot.Its worth the adventure finding the store to have the adventure of exploring their titles. Books are uniformly priced (hardcover $4, paperback $3, children and YA $1-2) and in great condition, plus they donate a book for every book sold. They also have some games, CDs, DVDs, vinyl, etc. You can quickly earn free books through their free Very Important Booklover program (one just for joining) and current and former educators get 10% off everything. I mean, really. Amazing.Set aside a little time and go treasure hunting at The Book Deal. You wont be disappointed.
Amazing, I bought some broken consoles from here and they were super cool about it and the price was really good. I 100% will tell others about this place and come back in the future.
Great place for cheap books. Friendly helpful staff. I like that they have the books organized by topic. However, theyre not organized within each topic, so plan to spend time looking through every book. Not a great place to shop if youre looking for a very specific book or topic, but its a great place for finding random treasures.
Nice neighborhood used bookstore that relies on donations for inventory. Space is well utilized to categorize the books. They have the very important book lover program, which is an excellent name.
I love the book deal.They do great things for the community and are just wonderful people.
This store is a gem for book lovers! We were a little uncertain when we pulled up but entered the building and followed the very long winding hallway (dont worry...its not a trap lol) to a very clean, well organized store. Customer service was great! We left with 14 ish books for a very low price. We will definitely shop there again!
Cozy little store with a library feel. The number of books and the low prices are both just unbelievable! I got an excellent-condition hardcover copy of Stephen Kings Misery for 3 bucks!
If there is a better book sale store, than The Book Deal, in and around the Madison area, I have yet to find it. If you havent shopped at and talked to the friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff there, youre really missing something...
The Book Deal is the Real Deal. Wide selection, budget-friendly pricing, excellent customer service and innovative promotions. Always worth a visit.
They post new arrivals on their Facebook page and you can call dibs. Theyre only open four days a week, but they have the best prices of any used book store in Madison. Theyre new and still growing, but Im hooked!
Its a great used book store hidden in the back of the building. There are lots of old books of many genres. Its a great place to find random books. Most books and CDs are $2.
Great selection of books in a well-organized, multi-room cozy environment. Prices are very affordable and the staff is great! Worth the trip!
The owners are amazing and always have recommendations and they keep their eyes out when you are searching for something hard to find. :)
Nice selection of books, good prices, friendly staff.
Really great used book store! Friendly owners and very knowledgeable.
Good selection of books for a good price. Highly recommend.
Have known about The Book Deal for about 3 weeks. My girlfriend and I have probably added twenty books to our already overburdened shelves in that time. Great deals, great people.
Curated selection of used books. Also they take trade-ins!
Very friendly and helpful and almost always have the specific book I am looking for!
Nice bookstore with low prices and friendly staff.
Great staff and selection, plus awesome community involvement
Love this place already. Selection is frequently restocked and the staff are great!
The Book Deal is an affordable, used bookstore on Madison’s Southeast side with great deals on thousands of fiction and non-fiction books plus an entire room full of children’s and young adult books.
I love this place. Courtesy and Friendly with wonderful prices!
Great place to find books and CDs and way cheaper than the other book stores
Classics and newish titles in all genres, kid “gems” that are hard to find, can’t beat the prices - buying used is cheaper and more responsible when products are as functional as new items. Hallway to the actual store is through an office-like building - follow the signs, it’s worth checking out!
I love a used book sore and a sale on science fiction is right up my alley
I love this little hidden gem. They have an excellent selection of books both popular and more difficult to find.
Fun ever-changing selection of books and CDS. Highly recommended.
I love this store ❤️
Small and well-organized. Surprisingly large comic book collection!
Absolutely love this place.
Low prices and great selection
Loved the amount of books and the great prices!
Super friendly staff!
Great store !
