  • As there is only one other book store of this sort in Champaign, I suppose the comparisons with Jane Addams (in downtown Champaign) can't be helped. While I appreciate the organization and atmosphere of Jane Addams, I have found far more gems in Priceless Books. There is a high turnover on stock at Priceless Books, and I have been able to purchase all kinds of obscure manuals, anthologies, and critical essays there. For those who love classical music, the store also carries a large collection of CDs. When it comes to price, I would say that Priceless Books and Jane Addams are comparable, though Jane Addams is usually more expensive for the type of books I read (classic literature). Hardbacks are, of course, in a more expensive range (usually more than $15), but most books at Priceless Books are about half the cost of the original cover price, assuming the book was printed in the last 10 years. Sometimes you can find real steals, as I was able to buy a limited-print anthology (still in good condition) for $13, whereas the original value of the book was around $60. If you have been spoiled by the modern bookstore (like Borders or Barnes & Noble), the general structure of this place would be a nightmare. The shelves are literally so loaded by books that they look on the verge of collapse. Printed labels used to designate themes for each section often do not correspond with the books actually found there (hint: look one shelf over and you'll likely find the section you want). Even given its faults, I can't help but call Priceless Books my favorite used bookstore in the area. Each visit, I spend hours browsing its shelves, and I am rarely disappointed in what I can find.
