Get Your Romance Fix (And More): This Minneapolis Store Has 150,000+ Cheap Books!
Cheap prices, tons of romance and over 150,000 titles in stock, it’s easy to see why locals love this Minneapolis bookstore. 📚😍 #Minneapolis #News #Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – If you love reading as much as my hubby and I do, this is the spot for you! Paperback Exchange in Minneapolis is one of my favorite bookstores in all of Minnesota! I love this place and have been buying (way too many) books here for years! Hehe.
Over 150,000 books in stock!
It’s pretty amazing. Most of these titles are gently used and VERY affordable. Used books are half-off the cover price without a trade or 70% off the cover price with a trade credit.
The REALLY neat thing about this bookstore is that they are bookstore that sells… well, books. You won’t find too many decorative items or bric-a-brac (like some of the big box chain bookstores). This is a locally-owned, independent bookstore: owned and staffed by book lovers.

What We Love About Paperback Exchange
They have a little bit of everything – Jack likes their paranormal/UFO section and I enjoy their books by Indigenous authors. They even have an AMAZING section of vintage, collectable titles…which are a bit more expensive, but totally worth looking at…if you want to find some rare, old-timey hidden gems!
