Abraxas Books

If you like the odd and the old, you'll find this store to be very special. Everyone was very nice and I enjoyed watching an employee carefully vacuum the bookshelves wearing a headlamp. It felt like a different time and place in this store. I got three books for under $10 and got to add to my single author collection. Highly recommend if you are looking for a shop that isn't dull and ordinary.

We were waiting for a local food place to open and ended up here to pass the time during a rainstorm. Intrigued by the skull in the window, I was interested in what this quaint-looking bookstore had to offer. This place is a book hoarders' heaven or nightmare. Books are stacked way above your head in most areas. Every genre is clearly labeled 🏷 and there are more books here than one person can probably read in a lifetime. The owner reminded me of a more chill zztop - very cool dude. 😎 My husband and I browsed through (braving the uneven floors and creaking of the wood like treading on a pirate ship plank) and I found what I was looking for without expecting that I was going to get anything other than a sense of nostalgia. I ended up buying 3 more books than I wanted to for $15 cash. Great deal. 👍 If you're a bookworm that doesn't mind the musty book odor, uneven creaky wooden floors, and hoardy environment, this is the place for you. You'll be surprised when you find the book that you didn't know you needed, just looking at you saying "buy me" ^_^

This library was filled with so many genres of books that I almost had a heart attack when I realized how many there were. The owner was such a nice person, and is good at labeling prices on books due to their condition. It’s very clean, and, of course, the books were the best part of the library.

A true gem for book lovers! Abraxas Books is a treasure trove of used books tucked away in a cozy nostalgic space right in the heart of Daytona Beach. The moment you walk in, you're surrounded by towering shelves packed with an eclectic mix of titles—it’s the kind of place where you could easily lose track of time while exploring. The store has that classic used bookstore charm: slightly creaky floors, the comforting smell of old paper, and books stacked in every corner. It’s clearly curated by someone who loves books and knows their value. You’ll find everything from classic literature and history to more obscure and niche subjects. It’s not the most polished or modern shop—and that’s part of the charm. Expect a bit of a hunt, but also expect to find something unexpected and wonderful. The stacks of books and slightly chaotic arrangement just add to the fun of the experience. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area and appreciate the magic of used bookstores. Just be sure to give yourself plenty of time to browse—you won’t want to rush it.

A must-visit bookstore! Jim (owner, reader, delightful conversationalist), will be happy to help you find the next best read you didn't know you needed. Worth the drive to this Daytona cultural hub! Will return! ☺️

this is the coolest place, everyone should check it out if they love reading. i found some awesome books i could never have found elsewhere. one of a kind atmosphere, you truly will get lost in the endless selections. decent prices also! the owner is so kind, super cool to just strike a conversation with. he made sure to ask everyone if they found everything okay. i will definitely be revisiting!

This place has practical books a long with very different genres from what you would find elsewhere. The categories are hard to follow in the store, but if you’re patient you will find all the gems! Lots of historical reads as well as informative books!
