Welcome!

Prospero’s Parkside Books is a used book store.  We acquire all of our inventory from trade with our customers so you will find a little bit of everything in the store.

You’ll find areas devoted to SciFi/Fantasy, Westerns, Mysteries, and Romance along with with General Fiction.  We have an entire wall of the store dedicated to Non-Fiction books of all sorts including Biographies, Historoy, Self-Help, etc.   We also offer a sizeable collection of Children’s Books in a spot that is designed especially for our younger readers.

When the front area of the store is not serving as center stage for our Special Events you will find a cozy seating area where you can relax with a book or chat with a friend.
