Henderson Book Exchange

Henderson Book Exchange has been a quietly thriving literary institution in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson since 2002, offering the kind of sprawling, treasure-hunt used bookstore experience that bibliophiles dream about. The Water Street location puts the store in the heart of Henderson's revitalized downtown, and the vast inventory covers every genre and subject with the kind of depth that comes from years of careful accumulation and community donation. The mystery and thriller section is enormous, serving the many Henderson residents who devour genre fiction at an impressive pace. The science fiction collection draws fans from across the Las Vegas valley, and the history section offers scholarly and popular titles at prices that encourage impulse buying. The romance section is unabashedly large, reflecting the genre's popularity and the store's philosophy that all reading is good reading. The atmosphere is friendly and unhurried, with regular customers who know the layout by heart and newcomers who quickly get lost in the stacks in the best possible way. Henderson Book Exchange proves that a great used bookstore can be a community anchor even in a city better known for slot machines than bookshelves.
