A bibliophile's dream and a obsessive compulsive's nightmare, I can't imagine a trip to Salem without a trip to this dangerous, dangerous bookstore. Books, mostly paperbacks, stacked from floor to...

This is one of the quirkiest bookstores you will ever visit. The stacks of books are like something from a movie. I was there once when a stack fell. It sounded like a bomb went off! Everything is 50%...

As you can tell by the other reviews, this bookstore has a really unique approach to how they organize everything. To me, it was a little daunting at first, but I actually had a great time trying to...

I am indeed a fan. If you like things uber organized then this might not be the place for you. There is a system but as others have noted its in stacks - hIgh stacks. Woe to those looking for...

AKA::Derby Square book MOUNTAIN!!While scaling the stacks, I have found older editions of Vonnegut, Heller, Robbins and Bukowski over the years. Retrieving these items is as nerve racking as a game of...

AS OF 9/27/08, everything in the store is 50% off. That's right, 50% off the cover price of all new books. That's cheaper than ANY big box chain book store you'll find. I love it!!! And for those...

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...

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...

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...

This is a small bookstore and every inch of it is packed with books all the way to the ceiling. I walked by it the other day and couldn't resist going in because it looked so interesting. The man...

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...

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,,,...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...
