Rolla Books & Toys

The PX at Fort Leonard Wood has the smallest collection of books and the local Wal-​mart isn’t any better. I was starting to get a bit stir crazy after reading all the books I brought with me here. After having no luck finding any books that weren’t a hour away I’m really glad I stumbled upon this place. They have a wide collection of books for the local area. Half of the store is geared towards kids though. They do have a section of The New York Times bestsellers. (Which were 15% off, score!) They also have a wide variety of other books to choose from. It is not a large book store and you might not find all the books you want, but trust me it’s the best you can find in rolla/​waynesville.
I found 4 books that I really wanted, Particular Sadness of Yellow Cake, The Help, Something Borrowed, and Water for Elephants. I decided to just get one book, The Help. I’m sure before I make my long drive back home I will come and pick up more books.
The store also has some cool nic nacs that kind of remind me of what you could find at urban outfitters. They also had book marks and a gift wrapping station.
The service was friendly and all around a pleasant experience. They also have a large selection of magazines and a $ 1 book section, I think those are used books though.
