Yelp.com Review - by Pascal P.

5.0 of 5 stars. Over the years I've accumulated a lot of books, and since I move a lot and am often short of storage space hauling them around and storing them can be quite a pain. Throwing books away just feels...

Yelp.com Review - by April G.

5.0 of 5 stars. Free books. No, really. If that's not enough for you, they are well-organized, used and new books on every subject. Absolutely, completely free for the taking. I'm an English grad student, and have...

Yelp.com Review - by Charlotte Y.

5.0 of 5 stars. This place is amazing. It's completely staffed by volunteers, but seems relatively well stocked, especially considering that you are encouraged to take as many books as humanly possible (The...

Yelp.com Review - by Courtney T.

5.0 of 5 stars. One of the many quirky little places I love about Baltimore, the "City that Reads" or so it was about 15 years ago. Come here with time to spare and a box or two, (or just empty hands- since there are...

4.0 of 5 stars. It's free! And it's fairly well organized for a totally free bookstore.

Book Exchange

To call this place a store is unfair- The Book Thing is a volunteer-run warehouse filled to the gills with free books. Organized like a bookstore, you are encouraged to bring in any books you do not want and...

Yelp.com Review - by Melissa E.

5.0 of 5 stars. Even if the Book Thing had nothing I liked, I'd give it five stars for the fact that everything it offers is free. I mean, you'd have to be particularly obnoxious to complain about THAT.However, it...

Yelp.com Review - by K S.

5.0 of 5 stars. No where else in America have I had the pleasure of discovering a place as queer as the Book Thing. Down a nondescript alley sits a faded beige building with a tiny spray painted sign, hardly...

Free Books!

It is pretty much a free book store. Unwanted books are donated by individuals as well as organized groups, and are sorted on shelves by volunteers into subject areas. Anyone who wants books is then a...

Get your free books here!

The Baltimore Book Thing is a wonderful place that takes donations of books and magazines and organizes them in their "store" (which looks a lot like a library). Anyone can take whatever books they w...

Not only is this a great place to pick up some interesting reads but it's also a wonderful way to get rid of books and magazines that you know you're not going to read again but that someone else will...

The Book Thing of Baltimore

What's not to love about free books? This place is basically a dumping ground for the entire city's supply of used books, ranging from books that are practically new to those that are nearly falling a...

Booktastic!

It's hard to believe, but they give away free books with no strings attached. Although the books are often piled up and in disarray, the volunteers who operate this place on the weekends are very info...
