John K King Used & Rare Books

Far and away, the best bookstore in the state . If you have limited time, go in with a plan. If you have time to kill, there is more than enough to explore.

Amazing bookstore with FOUR floors of used books . I could spend hours going through all the different sections of books here. Great views of downtown, and cool bookstore set-up (took lots of photos!).

My favorite place in the entire world. Never leave there without at least five books in my arms. Wonderful staff and an excellent selection of books .

Be prepared to be overwhelmed. It's a huge building with floors of books . Of course it's stuffy, old books +old building ...but that makes ambiance, you really feel like you're in a huge attic.

Books and books galore if U love to read, find hard books to locate or introduce to new/old authors this is the place

John K. King houses a literal one million books ! A book lovers paradise. Read more

Giant book store . Overwhelming at first. Great place to get lost.

Go early—so much to look at, time FLYS by, and they close at 5:30. Great finds, and if you want something very rare or valuable, ask—those aren't on the shelves.

Great place for used books . But the kind of place you need to dedicate a lot of time to because of the large inventory.

Awesome amount of books , but it was a little hot and stuffy and I couldn't get into my usual book store trance. I will try again in the fall and I'll have a list of books to look for.

Go to the original. Not the Ferndale knock off. If it's rainy, all the better. Hole up inside John King and explore until your literary heart is content. Start with the local history section. Read more

It has the best smell in the world! :)

This place is huge and can be overwhelming at first. Don't be afraid to ask staff for help.

Huuuuge selection of books , however not too many modern Traveling guidebooks. Most of them are from 60-80s

Visit every floor. Keep your eyes peeled for ridiculously large Bibles. Buy a book or ten.

If you like LOTS of used books to choose from, this is the place.

Nice place to find old and used books

the best place to dig for old hardcovers!

Look in every nook for hidden gems . #GRR2DET
