All my kids ages 3 to 17 love this store. Great selection for new and used books and a comfortable atmosphere for kids and adults

This place is incredible! The staff are friendly and helpful, and the bookstore itself is massive. From the moment I walked in I saw people happily chatting away in the cafe, and others talking fervently over books. Almost all of the books I picked up were half off or more, meaning I bought these 5 novels for $33. I cannot wait to go back and get more soon! Thank you for this Missoulan gem.

Great store, good prices and can turn some in for credit.

Local and Statewide authors. Great displays, wonderful kids section too. Love this place.

This place is what makes Missoula great. The books here are cheap!!! If you cant find a book you need, one of the clerks will put you on a waiting list and they will call you when its in. I have not tried their coffee, although everyone seems to have a cup in there hand and thats gotta tell you something.If your considered too cool for school, and you played hooky, you are here. If your a student, and cool, you are here! If your just a wanna-be-bookworm like myself, you are here! Or if you just need a book, you should be here!5 stars well deserved.

I really like the store and have been coming here since about 2018 and I stop every time I come into town. I buy and read a lot of comics, graphic novels, and manga and it’s really irritating to try and trade them in here. There is a specialist that works with them, which I appreciate, but every time I bring in comics I have to leave them for a while to wait for the specialist to review them. I’ve been told that they don’t have a set schedule every time and today was told that they’re really backed up and don’t know when they’ll be finished. The store has a policy that the books have to be picked up ten days after I’ve been notified about the review. I get that the books can’t hang out forever, but I can’t afford the gas or time off work to come get what they don’t want within a week or two. I wish they would get someone to work full time or at least be available by appointment or get rid of that policy all together. I do also wish some of the staff were a little friendlier, too.

Great collection of new and used books at great prices. Highly recommend! 😍

I love, love, loved it! As a mystery buff, discovering a whole section devoted to Sherlock Holmes is a dream come true! Oh, and my husband liked this shop, too.😉

Poor selection and rude staff.If you are looking for cheap airport copies of Stephen King or John Grisham novels, then this is the place for you! The staff is poorly trained and I’m not sure if there is a single true book worm working in the building. Don’t bring used books here unless you have old Star Wars fiction. The staff has a hard time reading the titles on actual literature.

Such a quirky store. If youre looking for books about Missoula and Montana, this is a good spot to find that rare book. Lots of romance and pulp mysteries take up valuable space. Big kids section. Some anime and graphic novels.

I have always LOVED the Book Exchange!! Buy New, used or exchange your old ones for account credit for new reads! My favorite bookstore! ❤❤

Great selection and surprisingly more new books then used.

I love the selection here! The staff is super friendly and the prices are fantastic!

Great place to find new books.

Very personable and great customer service.

Small business and has been around for years. Love the help and selection of books. I can take my used books in get credit. Wonderful program.

I appreciate having such a great local new and used bookstore that has been around for as long as I can remember. They have an excellent local and regional History section

Loved it great employees tons of books at amazing prices been going there for almost 10 years

Fairly new to Missoula, I love the Book Exchange! However, Ive had some unpleasant experiences with the staff. Took in about half-dozen books for exchange today, the person said she would evaluate them, it would take about 15 minutes. About a half-hour later, I approached her nicely to ask if she was finished, before I could get the words out, she curtly instructed me to go to the wait for service spot. I was holding some books for purchase, I thought she had forgotten my exchanges, so tried to ask again. She was very rude and told me to wait in line, then a second staffer chimed in. I went around the corner, a friendly staffer offered to help. My credit was in the system, why couldnt someone have just explained how the process worked instead of being so unfriendly?

Great bookstore. Has books for everyone and some very unique items.

They have a really good selection and prices here. Love being able to bring in books and exchange them for credit towards new books!

Trading books in isn’t worth what you get.

Got some books and used them to find opal and apophyllite. Good place. Love the comic selection and the Montana section.

Great prices and always clean and employees are very helpful!

I love this place you are able to exchange books for an in-store credit to use other used books. They also have new books and an espresso bar. I can spend ours in there, books anywhere from fiction to history to a children and young adults sections, there is something for most everyone.

Always a special place to visit when in missoula

I understand and get it that your following safety guidelines because the board of health is forcing you to but with all due respect you dont need to flaunt it in your commercials. I personally am getting tired of listening to all this covid BS.

We always stop here when we go through Missoula! An organized, fresh store with great deals on new and used books. If you love to hunt for titles this is a great stop!

Best used bookstore in Missoula!

They got alot of my favorite authors and theyre at a reasonable price.

Great bookstore for the whole family.

Great selection and prices! Was pleasantly surprised to find this little gem in Missoula

I havent been there since last year, but they still honored my punch card. Still great coffee and service. Enjoy!

I love this place, they have so many books for super cheap. And a lil coffee shop 😊

Wonderful and helpful staff. The store was very clean and the prices were great.

Great selection of new and used books.

Great place to go reasonable prices and good quality books and a ABSOLUTELY HUGE comic book section and most comics are 3-5 dollars mainly 3 dollars and most are In protective sheaths as wellThey also buy books for a reasonable price if you need cash for books and they are always in need of more outdoor books

There are always new treasures of books to be found here, for fantastic prices. As if that wasnt wonderful enough, theres also a liquid planet so you can drink a coffee and comfort while youre reading your new book. They even have boxes of comics to browse through.

I love the book exchange in general. I decided to do a trade in, was told it would take 15 minutes, and not to go anywhere. That was fine, I decided to look around. I didn’t realize they don’t notify you when they’re done looking things over? I waited for over an hour. I didn’t want to bother them, but apparently I should have.

Amazing! So many books and they are well laid out. I bought 9 books for about $60. Would definitely go there all the time if I lived here.

The space is great and the books are AMAZING. Staff could use some lessons on business etiquette, friendliness and proper customer service, as well as treating customers with kindness, but other than that, great place for books!

Great second hand goods

Always love it there in

Good selection. Some of the sections could be a little easier to navigate.

My favorite place to grab some reading material.

Havent actually been in there in years but it was always good before.

Grat place to get used and some new books they also take old books in on trade.

Nice selection of books, but would not let wife buy any without mask. She has asthma and simply cant breathe thru one. She did have a face sheild.

Great prices

The book exchange is always a great place if you are looking for books. They are much cheaper than a regular book store. They have new and used. Usually you can find books you cant anywhere else!

This place is so awesome! I found used books I have been after for so long, in about 10 minutes, for $20.

I love the book exchange! Went yesterday and I seriously love the staff. I love the coffee shop here too! I feel like I live here sometimes and I love how chill the staff is yet so helpful. I feel really at peace with a good book and some amazing coffee!

Always very friendly service, and has a wide selection of options from romance to mystery novels even manga which is my personal favorite to come in and check out. 😊

Well organized selection of a wide variety of used books PLUS a coffee shop.

This is a great local book store. You can buy new and used books at great prices. You can bring in books and get in store credit for paperbacks or cash for hard backs. They dont always take every book you bring in but its usually a good deal.

Awesome selection good prices but very limited in good Christian literature

Staff very helpful. Wonderful place to meet friends. Great selection of various items other than books.

This is a good place to find used books. They did not have the one I needed but it is well organized and clean.

Great bookstore for used and new!

They have a great kid section, and the people are very nice.

I love this place. It is a required stop every time were in Missoula. The variety is impressive and the prices are unbeatable. It has a great atmosphere and a little something for everyone.

I love the idea behind this place. Some of the staff were very friendly, others were extremely standoffish. We have been multiple times and had the same experience with the staff so now there are staff members we avoid. The selection of books is fabulous

Pretty cool place

Pretty cool place for selling or buying books with a nice little cafe. They have a nice variety. Its not very conducive to any private reading or study spaces tho.. and the employees are a little icy.

This place is my guilty pleasure. Addicted. My favorite book store, hands down. The atmosphere is homey and has that irresistible draw of a store with experience and character. Ive been in love with this place since my mom first brought me here almost 20 years ago, and I dont see that changing 💕

The employees and the baristas are incredible. Its always very clean and a staff is extremely helpful they go out of their way to make sure you found what youve been looking for

Awesome book store!! Great selection of new and used books that are well priced. Lots of selection from local authors and on MT history. They accept trade ins for store credit too!

Love this place! Perfect for getting those hard-to-find books and great prices on used ones, too. Theyll actually call you when your book request comes in!

The best bookstore I’ve been to in a long time. The Powell’s of Missoula! Plenty of sitting spots! Cheap prices!

Even if you dont find the exact book youre looking for, youll end up finding something better and something you didnt realize you needed! Cool to trade in books for store credit 👍

An excellent spot to find a good book to read. They also have an excellent selection of comic books. And dont forget to bring the kids to check out their children section. As always outstanding customer service. Oh and you can grab a quick bite or a coffee in their in store coffee shop.

We wondered in yesterday to browse while waiting to be seated at the restaurant next door, but ran out of time before seeing the whole shop. So we made a special trip back to The Book Exchange today to browse some more.Fantastic bookstore, huge selection with plenty of floor space, good lighting and a ton of books at great prices, including new and used. If I lived in Missoula, I would be a regular here.

I found exactly the book I was looking for.

I go here very frequently to pick up new material. I have managed to find some amazing finds, including the Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark series with the original illustrations. Its inexpensive, cheap, a nice place to study, has a great credit system, and I have even been able to find books for some of my classes there. Also, having liquid planet inside is brilliant! :) Keep it up guys!! :D

Great prices. Excellent selection and friendly staff!

I always find amazing odd treasures here. Wonderful selection. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

It has AMAZING comics, chapter books, picture books and much more!😁

Great finds and super friendly staff. They have an excellent selection of staff picks for novels and you cant go wrong with liquid planet. Definitely a must for Missoula.

I wasnt pleased that some of my books were placed on your stack & some returned to me. I would have liked to have chosen what was or would have happened to the ALMOST FULL SERIES of Fern Michaels Sisterhood & Men of the Sisterhood books rather than have it split up into a mishmash by alphabet. It took me alot of time to find them & I know others like to read them in sequence too. I wished Id have stayed with my books until the young man, who is doing his job, but, without some thought, had finished looking them over. What you got & what I got in return gives me pause as to trying this again.

Ive always liked the Book Exchange, its a great new and used bookstore

There is always a new book to find.

Closes at 7 everyday and you have to have an appt to exchange books.

If you love coffee shop/book stores, youll love this place! They usually have the book im looking for at a very low price and when they dont, they call me when its in stock. So cool!

Great Reading

Great little bookstore. Great for used books and new alike. Lots of comics and all varieties of books. Best bookstore in Missoula

A Missoula bright spot. Great selection of clever books. Cafe inside with very comfy chairs & couches. A book lovers dream!

Great bookstore with lots of used and new books. Prices could be lower, there could be a larger selection, and I really wish the online inventory was working! But other than that, it’s great.

The Book Exchange is a fun place to visit when your looking for a quiet place to find a book. I actually love the it and its one of my favorite places, but I feel that even if the book is new you should be able to buy it with used credit.

Was a great place found everything we wanted.

Very helpful and courteous employees.

This store is Missoula personified. Staff is friendly knowlegble and energetic. Store is clean organized and well stocked. The Book exchange is a place on first visit feels like a well kept secret, a oasis for those who find it.

Found some books I actually for the first time in a long while here which was super nice. They also bought a lot more books than I expected this last round so that was extra awesome.

Best place in town for used books. Fantastic store where you can find books on just about any topic. Great selection of books about Missoula and the surrounding area, whether your looking for local history, flora and fauna or trails and the back country, the have it.

Great selection. Friendly staff. Nice place to chill and read and grab a coffee or a light snack.

Lots of amazing books!

Love bring all of my old books here! They have a very wide selections of Horror, Fiction, Romance. I can usually always find what Im looking for in regards to reading. Staff is a little awkward, but its what makes this place unique!

It has a great selection of books!

A great place to trade your books! Large selection of mysteries, action/adventure, current fiction, and more. Super childrens section for your young readers

Such an amazing store, always a favorite stopping place when nearby
