Golden's Book Exchange

Golden's Book Exchange Whether you’re a lover of mysteries, westerns, comics, or the classics, we’ve been providing our huge selection to Central Texas readers since 1978.

Golden's Book Exchange was founded in 1978 by proprietor Donna Carroll. The store is a friendly, casual atmosphere with a knowledgeable staff and a huge selection of books that literally changes every fifteen minutes. The store also provides services like shipping to correctional facilities, special-ordering books, appraisals of antiquarian books and general antiques, and more! Golden's Book Exchange has a trade-in policy on used books, and our books sell for half of the original cover price or less! Our inventory covers all genres, from romances to horror to mystery to the latest bestsellers. We have discounted books at all price points, and a famous "nickel table" that features overstock or outdated books at only 5 cents each! We also carry a wide variety of comic books, both back issue and current, and are happy to special-order items for customers if we don't have it in stock.

GOLDEN'S will be closed on Monday, September 7th for Labor Day.
