Editorial Review for Midlothian Book Exchange – by Kristine Forrest
What You'll Find Here
Paperbacks, hardbacks, children's books and a rack full of staff selections. Store owners also keep a rack of overstocked books right outside the front door.
The System
The store will accept your own paperbacks for trade. Paperbacks taken in trade will cover 1/4 of the cover price, but keep in mind that extremely popular novels may be rejected if the store is overstocked.
Hint
Bring your reading list, since wandering through the aisles can be overwhelming if you don't know what you're looking for.
The Staff
Although the staff knows practically everything about books, they also know when to let you browse in peace. Don't hesitate to ask for suggestions of you want good advice, however--you won't leave disappointed.
Editorial content is independent of paid advertisers. Any expenses are paid for by Citysearch.
Insider Tips
One of Richmond's BestNominated for Best Bookstore for its endless selection and helpful staff.
Best BetIf you don't want to spend much cash, bring several of your own paperbacks to trade. It's a good idea to bring new releases or paperbacks that aren't mass market—they stand a better chance of being accepted for trade.
What to AvoidWhat shouldn't you bring? Old Stephen King or Dean Koontz novels. Who needs another copy of "Carrie," anyway?
