used book store
Preloved literature shop
A used book store sells secondhand books—previously owned copies at lower prices than new.
These shops range from tidy establishments with careful organization to cluttered warrens where hunting is half the pleasure.
Also spelled as one word or hyphenated: I found a first edition at the used bookstore downtown.
