Thrifty Bookworm The

Anyone who reads a lot knows what an expensive hobby this can be. The Thrifty Bookworm is a great way to help curb the costs. I love a place where they always remember my name even if I haven't been in for months. They are always friendly and willing to help. There book sales are so addictive you cannot resist them. Another great thing about this place is it doesn't smell like old books. more

On Allendale Dr. off Harrodsburg Rd. right across from Mc Donalds & Shell. The Thrifty Bookworm is a great place to buy or trade paperback books for a small trade fee ( a dime per book, I think). They have a selection for everyone in the family all in a very comfortable and friendly shop. If you like to shop in places where they remember you and what you like then this is the place for you. Check back often, there's always something new on the shelf. more

I have been shopping at the Thrifty Bookworm since the 1980s. They used to be on Alexandria Drive, off of Versailles Road, but have sinced move to a larger space on Allendale. They still have probably Lexington's largest collection of used paperback romance novels (in all categories and genres) as well as many general fiction novels, some audio books, and now an entire room of nothing but mystery novels! (My favorite!). If you are looking for a good book to read, or want to trade in your old paperbacks for trade credit, look no further than the Thrifty Bookworm. There is a very small fee on trade credit purchases, but not much. They have an annual sidewalk sale, which you shouldn't miss if you like to stock up on your reading material and save money. more
