Retold Tales Used Bookstore

What a downright lovely bookstore!! The lady who worked there was so very sweet, friendly, and helpful! She gave me a rundown of the store layout and made me feel so welcome and comfortable in asking for help to find an author I was looking for. This is the kind of wonderful used book store I could contentedly peruse for hours, it’s too bad I don’t live closer to do so! But any time I roadtrip this way, I’ll make sure to stop by again! I was too engrossed in browsing the shelves to think about taking more than just a photo of the pricing info, but I’ll include that since it could be useful for other customers. :)

Loved this bookstore, so many books to choose from and really clean and neat. The lady was so nice and helpful. Appreciated chairs placed around the store to rest for a minute.

So many books! Trade program!

What a selection of books! Very organized. Friendly employee. Also have a trade in program.

Net place when looking for old books

Quaint, cozy, and cute!

Q wonderful selection. Nice folks!

Massive selection and really good prices

Good selection of various genres of books at reasonable prices

Neat idea and place...I was overwhelmed a bit...

I love that Holts Summit has a used book store. It is very organized and there are postings up mapping out the layout. What I don’t love is there are no prices listed anywhere and when I asked about pricing when I was checking out I was told $5 for paperback and $6 for hardback. To me that’s a little steep for used books and across the board pricing really doesn’t make sense to me. I also wish there was more signage posted indicating their pricing. At each genre area would be good. Probably won’t shop here on a regular basis unless I’m looking for something specific.

A little more expensive than I would have thought. I didn't see prices so I picked out three books thinking no more than a couple bucks a book and my total was 16.

Umm... It says you're open but the lights are off and the door is locked :(

Trade policy and pricing is absurd and self destructive.
I did find a rather rare $100 paperback that I traded 8 books (thats the trade deal 8 for 1) or I could have paid $5 for it.
$5 for paperback $6 for hardbacks.
This arbitrary across the board pricing is gonna sink this place.
Yes I'm giving this place a bad review even after my complaints worked very well in my favor.
I would love to see this store open in 5 years but....I don't think I will.
