Our Story

Linda's Used Books has been a Visalia landmark since 1982. Founded by Don, a lifelong book lover, the bookstore evolved from a tiny shop on Court Street to its current spacious location on Houston Avenue. Today, it is proudly run by Linda, who carries on Don's legacy of offering exceptional customer service and an unmatched selection of books.
