This was the cutest little bookstore! You guys, they have a whole BASEMENT full of more books. And, it might be silly, but the lights are all out inside to save energy wherein you just turn the lights on for the aisle youre on, and I think that is so cool. Their prices were amazing, their selection as well. Im so happy to have found them, and I fully intend to drive the distance from Cody, WY to return.

A wonderful off the beaten trail stop for bibliophiles, academics, and avid readers. The proprietors are entertaining and informative. Their knowledge of their stock and certain subjects is encyclopedic. Lovely location.

What a charming small bookstore!! This is packed with books old and new alike. They have very fun titles, but also great philosophy and history books. I was pleasantly surprised they are taking credit cards for payments. The prices are affordable as the books are old and used, I bought 4 books for $11. I found it odd that they asked for my ID when I went to the cashiers desk, was not sure why they did that, however the place itself was really nice.

Ive purchased books at Montana Valley for years. It is owned by a very nice, book savvy lady. If she doesnt have it, she offers sites of those who might. My family loves to spend hours browsing for treasures.

Review №23

Very nice and knowledge owner. Selection of books is very large. Either have a specific book/topic in mind to spend a little bit of time or plan to spend a couple hours browsing the walls of books. Dont be afraid to ask for help if cant find what youre looking for. Between the two of us we got 8 books, totalling 40 dollars.

Small little shop, lots of books. Ages of books vary from late 19th century to current. Most books (hardcover) are about 7 bucks, many are cheaper.

You could stay locked up in this store for a week and barely touch the huge selection of used books that they have here. For a bibliophile like me, this is heaven.

Great bookstore for book lovers. She has an amazing selection across all genres- and plenty of vintage titles. We went searching for it - and it was worth it for us. It is located in a lovely old house. The history of the store alone is worth the trip.

Amazing. It is a wonder to find this bookstore in this tiny town. You could find every kind of book here. There is every level of books there from jewels to what??? books. Take the time to visit with the proprietor. She has a story about how she acquired all these books and who comes to buy them.

Review №36

The ultimate bookstore. You literally need a ladder to reach the highest shelves. Just when you think its over it turns out there is an entire basement stuffed full of paperbacks. Lots of fun to explore!

It was our first visit to this bookstore in Alberton, Montana. They have have a wide variety of books from music to cooking to romance novels. Interesting place to hang out and look at old books. My in-laws always visit this store when in Alberton.

A great place to trade in your books. Plan on spending some time here while you peruse the selection. Its aisles are, well, narrow does cover it, catagories are vaguely defined despite the unending work of the owners. A delightful assortment of old and new books. Well worth the trip.

Saw the huge billboard for the book store and saw it was open year round. My family was really happy and looking forward to it. Only to find out it was closed :/ very disappointed.

Review №50

Lots of books but overall not worth the stop if youre looking for childrens books. The childrens section is small, outdated (even by used bookstore standards), and is not in the best location at the top of the basement stairs. The highlight was probably the shop cat. Im sure there were lots of good finds but we werent able to really look around. The aisles were too narrow and it was just too difficult with kids. Even then, we had to leave a few books we did want because they didnt take debit that day.
