Great Matter Books

Walked into this place hoping to find a lot of children's books for my classroom. I was actually shocked by the wide variety of non fiction books they have here! And super vintage books as well. I did end up finding some unique children's books and had a good conversation with the clerk when checking out. I wasn't just a customer coming to buy books. We got to talk about some of my selections and went on to talk about life and attending college and careers we chose to study. There was also a beautiful mural painted on the side of the building!

I have been a used book seller for over 40 years, and have been in hundreds of used book stores nation-wide. Great Matter Books is surely one of the most accessible, best maintained bookstores in the Midwest, and without a doubt, the most affordable bookstore for the high quality offered that it has been my privilege to enjoy. Prime selection in a pleasurable and purposed environment, at more than affordable prices.

This is an awesome used bookstore, especially if you like nonfiction. This book store has one of the largest nonfiction sections that I have ever seen, and they’re all decently priced. There’s also a decent selection of bargain priced books. The owner is also very helpful.

A must do for any nonfiction reader! There is a small amount of fiction books, but most of the inventory is non fiction across a wide range of genres. I was very happy to see Michigan specific books and a great urban design section. prices range from $2-$30, but with most books in the $10-$15. The owner is a delight as well. Overall a great store

I stopped in to sell some books, received a more than fair appraisal, so sold . Gentleman is extremely knowledgeable and I enjoyed our conversation. Highly recommended.

Don't judge this book by its cover! This tiny gem specializes in non-fiction and unlike most used book stores it is clean, neat and very well organized. The owner is a super-nice guy, very helpful and he runs a buy one get one for 50% off BOGO. I walked out yesterday with two hard cover, first edition books for a whopping $17.00, and if my wife hadn't been with me I would have left with an armful of books! Highly recommended...I can't wait to go back.

Great curated selection of books that don't require any real digging to find something you'll find interesting or unique. Very diverse and organized selection. The owner is one of the most personable and knowledgeable dudes I've had the pleasure of talking to. If you live out of town, it's worth the drive to go to this place alone. I can't recommend it enough.
