Paperback Shack

Small little shop, but don't let this worry you about there selection. They had a lot of books and for a reasonable price. Owners were very nice too.

This place is one of the best kept secrets in Trumbull County. Lisa is a fantastic writer, book lover and store owner. Not only does Paperback Shack have a wide variety of used books, but Lisa also offers writing classes and monthly writing groups (I took her novel writing class this past fall and it was one the best decisions I ever made!) Love my recent purchases and will be back again :)

This place rocks! I love the selection, the prices are fair, and best of all: THE BOOKS ARE ORGANIZED!

Lisa is super cool and fun to talk to. She was welcoming and friendly. I’m so glad the Youngstown area has people like her around to spread the secondhand book love!

I love this little bookstore. Stopped in for the first time and spent almost an hour just visiting with Lisa about different authors. She was warm and welcoming. Discovered some new ones! This is going to be one of escape places. Will definitely be back!

Super cute bookstore. Lisa, the owner, offered great suggestions. She also teaches writing. A tremendous resource to the community.

The Paperback Shack is a great bookstore with a big selection and wonderful ambiance. And Lisa, the owner, is so knowledgeable about books! If you need any reccomendations for a genre or author, she'll be able to help you out.

The staff are super friendly and they have so many books. It's not limited to paperbacks so don't let the name fool you. The stock cycles a bit so visit often.

They have super fun mystery boxes fairly cheap with random books by genre. If nothing else, grab yourself one of those as you won't regret it

Came in just to check it out and left with 4 or 5 good books. The lady working there was super friendly and it was a nice environment. Will definitely be back soon to get more.

A nice little used book shop with a decent selection. Went in here and got a few things. Prices were reasonable and the staff was very helpful, not only helping me find what I was looking for, but also offering up some friendly conversation.

A word of advice, be sure to bring cash if you're only looking to buy one or two things, as they only process credit transactions over $20.

In any case, this is a cozy little shop and I will definitely be coming back here from time to time to see what they have in stock. :)

I encourage anyone who is a fan of literature to spend your time and money at the Paperback Shack. The owner and her family have always been super friendly and helpful every time I've wandered in.

There is a good selection that spans over several genres, and the best part is that I've never left without finding at least one book to join my personal library. So, whether you're into mystery, sci-fi, young adult, romance, horror, or whatever your fancy, you're sure to find a gem to make your day a little bit better.

Oh, and they sell some amazing candles!

My favorite bookstore ever! Everything from the book selection to the prices to Lisa's expertise in books and writing has brought me back again and again. Would highly recommend!

Very nice friendly people. Were willing to give the store credit I got from all the paperback books I brought in to some of their regular older customers. Thanks

I really love this store. I bought 14 paperback books there today and plan to be a steady customer. Kim, the owner, is so friendly and it's a pleasure to shop here.

Cozy, independently owned bookstore. The owner is always more than happy to make recommendations on your next read!

Very friendly and helpful! They had several books we were looking for. Will definitely visit again.

A Youngstown gem, for sure! Lovely service & the shop itself has a fun selection that's easy to navigate. The local libraries should take some notes. Looking forward to my next visit

This was such a lovely place to find! If you like books this is a great place!! The owner is so nice and personable! Wonderful place!!

Super friendly bookstore in an old strip mall. Owner actively searches for used books to stock her store. Reasonable prices. We'll be back often!

Such a cute shop! Very nice workers as well. Make sure to take cash though!

Love this store! It is a book lovers dream! 😍 Great selection of books and wonderful employees to talk to!
