"Quaint bookstore with new, used and collectible books, photographic art and religious art." ~ Visit Hermann
"Buy the Book sells quality books of all sorts. They carry poetry, mythology, philosophy, and history books, as well as fiction. Gardening books are popular on a seasonal basis and there is a good selection of cookbooks. One section is devoted to good quality children's books that are reasonably priced so kids can buy their own. There are German-language books and occasionally books written in Spanish. A rack with new magazines is being expanded, and if people want a particular magazine they can order a single copy. Buy the Book does a lot of on-line ordering." ~ Downtown Different
