Paperback Alley Used Books

One big and one small room of popular paperbacks. Best stuff is behind the counter, not to be sold. Lots of romance novels. Some nice editions of classic literature.

Huge used book store with thousands of books Worth a browse.

If you love books you will love walking in here. From floor to ceiling there are rows and rows of books. Paid about per paperback which is a tad pricey for used books, but completely reasonable given the higher expense of Santa Barbara. Owner was definitely knowledgeable and kept to herself. Nice place
