Superb book collection, sweet kitties, and a knowledgeable owner. Overwhelmed by the variety? Ask him about what type/genre of books you want to read and hes sure to direct you towards some great reads.

As someone new to Macon, Ive found my happy place, where cats and books abound - my two great loves. The prices are reasonable and there are treasures waiting to be discovered. Highly recommended. 💚

Not huge, but well-stocked and organized. And I have to like any store where the security force is three large cats.

I dont even want to draw attention to this place because I love it so much. This is by far the best bookstore you could ever go to. No matter what you are interested in you will find the very best selection of books on the topic there. Every time I go in there I have to leave before I spend too much money.

I love this bookstore. Great local business that appreciates customers. The Cats are a purrfect addition. 😊

This place is exactly what I look for in a local bookstore: a friendly owner who knows what theyre talking about, a diverse collection at fair prices, an active social media presence, and a stylish storefront.Golden Bough has a few friendly bookstore cats who love attention, so be careful if youre allergic.

Small but you can find some real gold here. The owner is hilarious.

Owner was nice and had a great selection of very affordable used books. His daughter tried to eat my girlfriend and we had to hide her for the majority of the time we were there. Would visit again.

Really cool book store this is a must place to stop by and see

I had a nice experience there! the cats were the cutest and the owner was a cool guy. i’m glad i came across this place and hope to donate books if i can. wishing this business the best through the pandemic!!

Quiet, small downtown bookstore; plenty of genres covered. Larger selection of kids, and fiction.

They have some good 📚

Duh. I love it. Cats, baby, Eric, books, its a lifetime dream fulfilled. Local art on the walls, local books on the shelves, and Eric can recommend books based on your past reading likes. New and used books, if he doesnt have it, he can probably order it.

The best bookstore in Macon!

I always stop in here to browse when Im driving through town. Wonderful atmosphere, cute cats, amazing selection.

Eric is passionate about his love for books and education. I have found some great used books in the store at a good price for myself and as gifts for family and friends. Its nice supporting a local business and Eric updates his facebook page regularly for special events like the Grinch visiting during Christmas time for kids and new additions to the store. If youre in Macon its a must stop shop to relax and find a good book.

LOVE this store, I’m into sci-fi and fantasy novels and the owner was in store with his cats

Fantastic customer service and great prices!

Friendly place, and wife variety of books.

Wide variety. Helpful male employee with his charming daughter! What a cutie pie! The cats were another nice feature. Found several selections I liked. Will be back!

One of my favorite bookstores. I never leave empty handed as Eric makes sure to stock his shelves that keep customers coming back.And who in the h*ll complains about cats?

I always go here first for a book before buying something new. I am rarely disappointed. If they dont have exactly what I want the owner always has a suggestion for something else that I like. This is just your classic super hip and chill used bookstore and it is a real treasure here.

Loved. First time in and I most definitely will be back.

Fantastic place, a gem of downtown Macon. Owner is a tremendous asset, knowledgeable insightful, very helpful and really an all around good guy.

Nice couple runs the place. Good selection of books and a few cats.

The owner has kept an eye out for books I collect. He sold me a 1st Ed of Great Jones St by DeLillo for $30, an affordable price for that authors third book. The non-collectible books are reasonably priced as well, which can be lowered further because they take a grea deal of trade-ins for store credit. The childrens section is well-stocked, where the owners cute toddler often hangs out.

Honestly, for its size, this place has an excellent selection of books. I find great books in categories like philosophy, sociology, history, etc.

Quaint and wonderful. A great find for bibliophiles. Small, but nice.

Cute, quirky bookstore with a good classical lit collection. The store cats are friendly & add to the bookshop experience!

The decor needs upgrading and there were cats walking through the place.

This place has everything to love about an indie bookstore. Knowledgeable, friendly staff, comfortable environment with cats and seating, and a nice balance between new stock of current releases and used gems you wouldnt ever find unless you browse through.

Great books that are harder to find at big bookstores and good prices for all of their books.

Great selection of books along with two adorable cats.

While I have heard great things about this bookstore, the prices were atrocious: $8.00 - $10.00 for used books! The store seemed to have a fairly good selection, but I was immediately turned off by the prices. I will not be coming back.

That place gives off a liminal space vibe but its a neat little place.

Selection of books is interesting friendly staff and cute cats

I highly recommend this bookstore.

Nice eclectic mix of books. Prices are always great. Plus there are KITTIES you can pet!!!!

They are super friendly and have amazing cats.

Fun place and they have CATS!! 😻😻😻

Quaint eclectic bookstore nestled on Cotton Avenue, with current reads, not moldy oldies.

The Golden Bough is 1 of Macons BEST bookstores!! If Eric doesnt have it, he can surely get it for you!!!

Friendly to new authors. Eclectic vision.

A nice, old-fashioned bookstore!

Havent been, but it sure sounds nice

Great atmosphere, nice, helpful staff, and a great concert venue!

Great place for used books.

Such a cool book store!

Great atmosphere and selection

Go and support this business. Macon needs more bookstores like this.

Really nice people

They are stupid, they would like to, for me to give them all my comics.they are stupid as h###.that day will not get here.i will sale them online.

Got a bookstore cat, the smell of old paper and a broad selection of books. What more do you need.

Friendly staff and lots of books to buy. Stop by and browse their selection

Not really a metaphysical bookstore, nice enclave. Staff seemed distant...

Love this place and the cats
