It was a bittersweet visit to the new Wilson's bookstore. Was a frequent visitor in the 70's and 80s and even after when Jeff, the owner, was still there. Unfortunately, the new location is a ghost of its former self. Smaller and less books, I struggled to find something to buy. Still, it's a cozy used bookstore. The last still left from the glory days of used bookstores.

Mr. Mohawk was helpful, tried assisting me to find a particular author/s i was looking for although the genre could have been several. Very personable once you talked to him, but didn't crowd you while browsing either. Interesting collection! Thanks, will be stopping through again

There is a woman trapped in a plastic box that will welcome you, she seems to know a lot of strangers that straggle in. I am not going to say this is a bad book store, because there are no bad ones. But there is something strange. I always go in wanting to buy something, to find something, but there is nothing. It's like only the bad stuff is put out. Every once in awhile you find something, but it is underwhelming. Used bookstores should be filled with a smell of magic, the sent of past fingers on pages. It is almost like this bookstore, or the lady inside the plastic box strips the magic off the books before putting them on the shelves.

So rude!! I booked an apt 3 weeks in advanced for them to look at my books because they were on vacation. When I get there she didn’t even look at them she glanced at 3 books and said I’m not looking at them. I loaded about 40 boxes filled with book in my truck just for her to not even give me the time of day. She definitely profiled us and it’s disgusting.

Wilson’s Book World is a cozy used bookstore. Patrons can easily go in to browse, look for an out of print book, a book you are missing from a series, or to discover something new. I am from the DFW area where I frequent a used book store, Half-Priced Books. Wilson’s is a local, independent bookstore which feels like more of a cozy (and not corporate) place to easily look for your reading needs.

This store has been in business for 50 years. I met a guy who has actually worked for them for a couple of decades. The store was clean and excellent customer service. I'm an author, and they accepted my two books into the store. Conviction & Deep Conviction go check them out.

Wonderful experience, shopping here! Super charming owner, meticulous layout, superb selection. Great also for games and cheap old and fairly new comics and comic sets for reading! Amazing selection of Pulp paperbacks.

I love this bookstore so much! The books are used, but most of them are in such great condition that they seem brand new. There are also so many books to choose from and so many different genres to browse that you'll be able to find something for everyone. The prices are also fair, and I'd rather buy from here than go to Barnes n Noble or purchase some from Amazon. The new location is easy to get to and just as fun to hang out at. Every time that I've been in there Michelle has been super friendly and always willing to chat or recommend a book. If you haven't been here and love books, go here now!

Not a big selection, unless you’re into men’s adventure, spy stories, and military history. They do have a pretty good comic selection, but there’s not much else in terms of deep, deep collections.
