Uptown Books sits squarely between ISU and Albertson's and is Pocatello's newest used bookstore. The small shop is neat and tidy with a good general selection of books. The quality of their merchandise is better than in most used bookstores. The owner explained that, "since we don't have as much space as others we're more choosy about what we stock." The end result are thousands of clean beautiful books at very good used bookstore prices. Since they're still relatively new (opened in September of 2007) they are still building their stock and have some open space on their shelves, but there's still a lot of gold to be mined for the bookworm. If nothing else, drop by and support a new business. Hopefully one day they will be another thriving store in the Gate City!
