Quiet place to browse used books! I found quite a few to get, and I plan on dropping off some of my old ones next time. Super nice guy showed me where stuff is and rang me up, definitely check it out!

This is one of the most unique places Ive ever been; it is a non-profit organization operated by a group of extremely compassionate volunteers who will do anything to help anyone. They just gave away hundreds of free books today and donate many of their books to prisoners. I had such a great experience there today. Anyone who loves books and is looking for somewhere to volunteer - this is the place!!!!!

Open Books is a great, volunteer-run place to find classic as well as off-the-beaten-path books. Additionally, book sales support the non-profit Prison Book Project which fulfills reading requests from Florida inmates.

Great local book store attached to First City Arts Center complex. They have an interesting variety of used books of many genres. Its all pretty organized and the volunteer staff are helpful. They also take donations to distribute to prisoners for their reading and education. I have dropped off several boxes of books here and its always been an easy way to clear out some space at the house.

This cozy second-hand bookstore with a great mission is one of my favorite Pensacola discoveries. All profits from their book sales go towards prison book projects which includes shipping books each week to prisoners. They have new inventory all the time and lots of books that one wont find at Barnes and Noble. The staff is always friendly and willing to help search for a specific item. Lots of local and underground published books.

Such a cool place with so many great books, pamphlets, and comics. The prison project that this place does makes it the best books store around. The guy running it was a little rude at first but once I got talking to him he was super helpful about recommending authors and artists I might like. I would highly recommend you check this little place out.

Great program for the prisoners, but no credit or exchange for the 20 books we brought in? Employee was rude. Every used paperback book we picked up (some were 15 to 20 years old) was either $7 or $5. What???
