Darcie Lynn’s Book Exchange

Discovered this gem during Market Night. Clean, organized, eclectic. Prices are good. Have a lot of free books on a cart out front. Friendly and personable.

This is a great little used bookstore! I had no idea it was here in Yucaipa, but apparently it’s been around for five years or so!
First of all, they accept any and all of your used books (paperback or hard cover) as a service to the community. :) I was really scared at first that they wouldn’t accept my books based on the age/​condition or if they already had multiple copies of my book. However, they accepted it all.
Second, they are very helpful with finding you the books you want to buy. It was a very friendly environment and definitely plan on going back there for my book-​buying needs.
Also, there is a $ 3 minimum buying requirement, but this is very easily fulfilled as there is a large selection of books. They’ll also order books for you if the book you want isn’t there.
All in all, a great place to spend your time!

This place is LOVELY! My little guy and I walked in here today and what a nice surprise this store was. A diamond in the rough.
The gentleman working let my son have a free book from a section near the front counter. Which was the nicest surprise for both of us! I love reading to him and he loves books. So that kind gesture was completely unexpected and greatly appreciated.
The store is charming. It is clean and has a great selection of books. I wanted to stay longer but having a lil guy who wants to pull everything off the shelves doesn’t give one much time to get lost in the titles.
I will be back. Over 25,000 books! I will be back and I am looking forward to spending some time and money at this charming gem.

Visited this store for the first time on Friday May 4. Not to impressed. Books seemed to be hard to find and the gentleman handleing the front seems abrupt with all of the people there. I think I will be going elsewhere. :(

So happy a place like this is walking distance from my house. Friendly staff, good selection of books, clean. I love the fact I can trade in my old books and get new ones. Love this place could spend all day very day here.

Andrew Irwin runs an amazing store and Writer’s Gallery here. What a gift to the area! Kudos & Bravo AI! Rock on!

I am so excited to have found this bookstore. the owner will go looking for whatever author or series you desire and then she will call to let you know she has gotten them!

Great used book store! Very, very clean and organized and free of the typical «used» book store smell. Great prices: 50% off paperback list prices, 80% hardback list prices, a free cookbook with any purchase and free bibles to anyone in need of one. Andrew, who was working today, was very friendly & helpful. All around great experience here! :)

Yea! A new used book store in town! My gf and I were sad to see the Paperback Exchange, in the Stater Brothers shopping center, close– up shop but the void has been filled! All of the employees that we have dealt with here have been super helpful in locating a book or shooting the breeze about any topic that comes up without being clingy. For every book you trade in you receive 50% off the list price, which is added to your store credit. Your store credit is then applied towards 50% of the price of any book you intend to buy. Example: You want to buy Book A for $ 8.00-$ 4 from store credit, leaves you with $ 4 to pay. Sadly to say Darcie Lynn’s only accepts cash or check. They may be extending forms of payment to debit/​credit but that all depends if it is cost effective. Now if they do not have the book you are looking for you just have to jot it down along with your name + number and they will let you know when they receive it. I also appreciate their willingness to hold any books that you find during your perusing so you can wrangle up the necessary cash funds.
