Sorry for the buzzkill, but I have to be honest here.  Book Buyers is okay. but just barely. So why the rave reviews? Just a guess, but here's the deal: there is simply no real competition in the used book store marketplace, which is a shame for a city the size of Charlotte. Make no mistake, this store has plenty of merchandise, but it is poorly displayed- think cramped, fusty, dimly lit library shelves. Prices are relatively high, too, which may explain why some dusty, arcane titles rarely seem to move off the shelves, let alone out of the store. Popular paperback titles DO seem to get a bit more play, but alas, there is another reason why I cannot speak more highly of Book Buyers. You see, I've been to the Promised Land of used book stores, and it (they) are located in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Raleigh, and Fayetteville. They are Edward McKay. Until Edward McKay enters the Charlotte market (a matter of time, I only hope), Book Buyers has no competition in the used book market. So enjoy Book Buyers now, because once a store like Edward McKay moves into town it'll be, \"root, hog, or die.\"
