Houghton Book Shop Ebay Auctions |
The Houghton Book Shop is a used bookstore is run by Houghton College to raise money (in a non-profit way) The shelves are very well spaced out and organized, everything is shelved by category and author. They have a very wide selection of books- Art books, photography, biography, history, fiction and non-fiction as well as more specialized shelves like 'gender studies' or 'local authors'. They also have a decent scifi/fantasy shelf.
Prices seem to vary a bit, for example i saw some paperbacks as cheap as 75 cents and some as much as $5. On the whole though, prices are very reasonable.

2007-01-09 09:11:55 I love this store. I always find some good treasures and the pirices are more than fair. They are always recieving new donations, so the selection is updated often. They are located in the smaller building that shares the courtyard at Village Gate, along with Mood Makers. —DanDangler
2007-05-30 09:06:57 All the books in the store are donated, so that makes the selection as eclectic as the donors. Occasionally they will receive a large collection of a particular subject, so it pays to stop in often, I would say once every 1-2 weeks.
(Note: Also a great place to offload unneeded books as long as they are in saleable condition!)
The price variations are because all the volunteers do pricing and everyone has his/her own ideas. If you think a price is way too high, you can always ask. They will either negotiate or explain why. —VolneySimmons
2009-12-05 13:52:23 Half-price sale 12/11 thru 12/20. They usually will give the price a day or two ahead. The place is loaded with books right now, great time to stock up for winter! —VolneySimmons
