Bookstores are the ultimate introvert heaven, and Recycled Books, Records, & CDs in Denton takes that sentiment to a whole new level. Spanning three stories, this massive building features not only used, independent reads, but also records, CDs, board games, and other collectibles.
Spanning three stories, Recycled Books is the largest independent used bookstore in Texas. This building formerly housed an opera house, and its creative energy is still palpable.
Over half a million books are stocked at any given time, most selling for half or less of their original cover price. You could easily spend hours perusing multiple shelves dedicated to each of the following categories: Mystery, Sci-fi, History, Texana, Science, Psychology, Art, Children's Books, Cookbooks, and more.
Within each genre are smaller subsections of almost any topic imaginable. Even obscure topics like astrology and tarot have a surprisingly extensive inventory.
Horror fans will rejoice at the hauntingly vast selection of titles. Whether you prefer reading about paranormal encounters or America's most notorious serial killers, rest assured there's at least one book to scratch the itch.
Even though National Banned Books Week isn't until September, you'll find a year-round collection of these controversial novels here. How many have you read so far?
In addition to books, thousands of classic records, CDs, movies, and other items have their own special section of the store. Diehard collectors make the trip from all over Texas knowing there are always rare finds to discover.
The board game selection isn't too shabby, either. From strategy to old-fashioned childhood favorites, there's something for everyone.
Nothing pairs better with books than a steamy cup of joe, and you can pick up some local grounds at the store. How adorable are these bags?
