Love Derby Square Books Store by Rick P on 10/14/2010 via Insider Pages
This small old style book store is a gem! It is run by some bothers that have an almost omniscience about books. Over the decades they have found even the most obscure of books at times even before they were published! Going to the shop…

"I can get it for you" by chris k on 9/27/2010 via Insider Pages
I have shopped here for forty years. It always an adventure. Gift wrapping is offered at NC.\r \r Given the stacks, towers, of books one would presume that if you inquired about a book they would no doubt have it. However the opposite…

Knock em' down! by Marjie W on 9/3/2008 via Insider Pages
I shop at this bookstore frequently. I have on several occasions knocked down stacks of books and had to be rescued as I was knee deep in books.This is part of the charm and the guys who run the place are never annoyed because they expect…

a hidden treasure by S. K on 12/23/2007 via Insider Pages
For anyone who loves books and appreciates the lure and magic of hidden treasure, this place is definitely worth meandering through. You also have to be okay with 'ordered chaos', though, b/c it's pretty much stacks of books floor to…

grate place by whitehouse a on 12/11/2007 via Insider Pages
This is my favored bookstore. I am in my mid 20s and I absolutely love this place. The books are 50 % off unless they have to order it for you then you still get them cheaper. The books are in piles everywhere like in the movies and it is…

great book store for us true book worms by Maria S on 6/8/2007 via Insider Pages
I'm surprised to read any bad review of this place. For real bookworms like me, it's an absolute gold mine. And so what if you spill some books; I'm sure it has happened before and they certainly are not breakable and you won't hurt…

filled to the brim bookstore! by Robin P. on 3/27/2006 via Judy's Book
This bookstore is absolutely filled to the brim.....so much so that I found it very hard just to walk down the aisles (you have to walk sideways practically :). It is very hard to look at the books,,,,,the owner has them stacked about 30…

Adventures in Book Buying by Daniel V on 11/30/2005 via Insider Pages
This is the best place to get books in Salem. Forget about B&N or Borders at the malls, for a real adventure you need to go here. Stacks of teetering books to the ceiling, cramped aisles, a HUGE selection, constant discounts and friendly…

Not the best of book stores........ by robin p on 11/5/2005 via Insider Pages
I went in here a few months back with my husband......and because my husband collects a certain kind of book.....I have been in my share of book stores. You can barely walk down the aisles. The books are ridiculously stacked to the…

I always find what I want by Jen G on 11/4/2005 via Insider Pages
This shop is hard to manuever but I ALWAYS find the book I want there. The owner knows where it all is, just have to ask him. If he doesn't have it, he can get it for you. He always has sales and the books are in good shape for being…

A great place to find cheap books and a knowledgable guide by Zach F. on 8/16/2005 via Judy's Book
When you walk into Derby Square Books in Derby Square, Salem, you're overwhelmed by the shear number of books. There are books stacked 10 or 15 high, and sometimes even more, labels out so they can be perused. The owner seems to know where…

The Inconvenient Bookstore by Kristen R on 5/25/2005 via Insider Pages
My husband and I have nicknamed this place "The Inconvenient Bookstore," and that really says it all. The books are in stacks, on top of one another. I don't know what you would do if you ever wanted a book at the bottom of one of those…
