Yes, the place is stacked floor to ceiling with books. Yes, the building does look like an old house. Ok, so the lady behind the counter might not be up to date on the newest books out there. But, come on! That's the charm of a used book store! They aren't going to sell books that have been recently printed! I've bought many books at the Book Inn, and have found EXACTLY what I was after, each time I went. In fact, I was searching for books by a particular author the first time I shopped there, and the lady behind the counter showed me the room my author's books were in, and I found MUCH more than I ever thought I would! It's an old, charming store. Refreshing change from our other two options here in Alexandria.

This book store is not the greatest place to find what you need. They do not carry any books that are popular at a given time, nor do they carry any popular older books. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. They have a lot of used books, so their pricing is ok, but no good books.

This place is a mess. When I walked in there were books stacked to ceilings. All of them were scattered throughout the "building" (it seemed like it was an old house at one time). When I realized there was no way I would be able to find the book I was looking for, I asked for help. The woman had no idea where to start either. The store is just a cluster of books that you will never be able to find the one you are looking for. It was weird.
