Blue Vase Book Exchange

It's easily my favorite bookstore in town. There are so many books to choose from, and the store is always different when I walk in, probably because the books are so well priced that they turn over quickly. Also, I love exchanging the books I've already read for some store credit. It's not uncommon for me to leave with at least 8-12 new books.

Well, there goes the dream of designing one of the best used bookstores ever, because these folks already did it! This store is Brilliant! I've driven past a dozen times and this time I had 20 minutes extra to swing in, that wasn't nearly long enough... I've wandered the stacks of hundreds of used book stores and this is one of the very best I've ever seen!

The store is spacious with lots of light to read by and more books than you can browse, even if you have hours to spare. The books are amazingly organized, cataloged and displayed, so it's really easy to find exactly what you are looking for. The store is clean, there are chairs to sit and read in and they have two computers setup so you can even search their many thousands of titles not on the display floor. They have a wall of audio books to dig through and a section for large print books as well.

The employees were friendly and very knowledgeable, one even taking the time to walk me to two different areas that the book I was asking about could have been, it was in the second spot. They have a cool book trade-in program, read their website for specifics please, and even offer a book drop box outside the store, in case you just need to drop books and don't want to wait till they are open.

If they would just put in a coffee station and a spot to buy a snack, I could spend the whole day here and never need to leave. I was able to find three 'hard to find' titles in only the 20 minutes I spent wandering the store, which means I'll make sure to have more time on my next visit!

Bottom line, if you love searching through thousands of used books, looking for treasures to take home, go here and disappear into the stacks for hours of bliss. Just make sure you don't buy the books I'm looking for please...

Always an amazing experience. Kind staff, wide range of books to choose from. Convenient computer station to look up used books to see if they’re available. We will definitely be back

Blue Vase Book Exchange Library is a hidden gem with a charming ambiance. The unique decorations, especially the blue vases, create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The library's diverse selection of books caters to various tastes and interests, making it a delightful place for book enthusiasts. Whether you're drawn in by the decor or the extensive book collection, this spot offers a distinctive and enjoyable reading experience.

I always get way more than I need and spend way less than I expect. I'm a grad student and I've even been able to find some textbooks here. Staff is outstanding and kind. They're always happy to help.

man this place is awesome. i love the way they run the exchanges. they have a good selection of books and it seems like they always have a really nice deal going on. i got 6 books for around $20, that’s pretty hard to beat! i’ve shopped in store and i’ve done pickups through their website, both are easy and good experiences. the staff is always incredibly friendly, and whenever anyone has a question they are more than willing to answer and do whatever they can to help. i definitely recommend coming here!

Great book store! I was a little overwhelmed with the selection. The prices are more than reasonable. I'll certainly be back (and will probably empty a bunch of books out of my house to)

I love spending time here, great prices and selection!

Used books at great prices! They have a wonderful selection of current books and the employees are friendly.

Our favorite place for books! Very decent prices (way better than BAM) and an AMAZING selection. Better than the library. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and kind. This is a wonderful place for reading enthusiasts to come and spend a couple hours perusing on a weekend. Highly recommend!

I love this place! Every time I'm in town, I have to stop in and pick up more books! Great deals and very friendly staff! I picked up a puzzle and a stack of books during my most recent visit.

Lots & lots of books! Great used books for g great prices. Most for $3.99. So many categorized out on the floor and they also have a computer to look up books that are in their back room!

Great book store, visit this place every time I'm in the Area

I love Blue Vase Bookstore. ➡They're open Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday located in Interlochen Michigan.

Blue Vase Book Exchange have lots to choose from and even offers store credit for books they accept for trade in. They even have online purchasing so check out their website for more information and browse their products.
They sell new and used books, comics, journal books, DVDs, Blu-Ray discs, video games, educational materials, board games, puzzles, CDs, vinyl records, and the list goes on.
They offer children activities like scavenger hunt. I believe they even have storytime Friday but check website to make sure.
The staff are friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is welcoming and vibrant. There's even places to sit.
Plenty of parking too.
Check them out for yourself.

I love, love, love BVB! We come here to exchange books for our school library and to fill our personal libraries at home. It’s like a treasure hunt every time!

I have only been here for video discs and they have a HUGE selection of DVDs and Blurays.

Great concept.
We were there one afternoon and saw kids thoroughly enjoying a treasure hunt, a woman sitting on a comfy couch engrossed in her reading, and several other patrons joined in a discussion about books and authors.
Just perfect

This place is Heaven for the bibliophile. Plan for more than an hour.... You'll likely need half a day. Book stores are precious, particularly ones selling used books.

Unite in the fight to keep them afloat and as much$$ out of Amazon's pocket.

You'll find gems here, and plenty of material for the beach season and long winter months.

Been here several times now and always enjoy myself. Typically, I find most books on the website and write down the numbers in advance but I still find gems on the shelves. It can be difficult to find things in store if you're looking for something specific but the staff is friendly and always try to be helpful.

Amazing book stuff with even better staff.
