My favorite place to shop local! If they dont have what I need in the store, theyre great about finding it for me! I also love their toy/game selection. Such a great place to gift shop
I love this bookstore. Its very organized. If they dont have what youre looking for, they can order it from other Gottwals. You can buy new or used books.
My wife and mother in law love for me to take them there. Very nice and helpful people.
This is my first time visiting this small bookstore. I was very excited to see a bookstore in Macon. The associates were friendly and helpful and helped my daughter find the book that she wanted called Warriors. They were very low-keyed and relaxed and the music was beautiful and we purchased two books, and I will definitely return again!
Great selection, especially childrens books. Good prices. Friendly staff.
Love this place! Love the mission and focus of the company as well as the people working in there! Always 10/10
You have to look at but you can find something that interesting to read.
Great selection of books and so many to choose from!
We shop here all the time. Its a great used book store that also has new stock as well. You can sell them your old books for store credit, then use that credit for future purchases. The only thing I dont like about the store credit program is when using it to purchase other books, you cant use store credit for 100% of the purchase... only 50%.
Lots of books. Clean building, well organized shelves. Helpful staff, plenty of kids stuff and Christian books.
Great store, great return for credit policy.
If youve ever gone into a library and wished you could take a book home with you permanently Gottwals Books is for you. Unlike chain bookstores Gottwals has a personal service to help you find whatever you wish to read. The atmosphere is relaxing and you are encouraged to take your time browsing. They even offer many sitting areas so you can peruse the literature. A great place e to take a load off and then take some very affordable books home for later.
Great and knowledgeable staff. You can even shop online.and not use amazon. Its fantastic.
I hadnt realized what a nice selection they have.
Staff is very friendly. Layout is nice, and they can look for books at other stores if they dont have a copy here.
Excellent selection and prices. Much better deals than amazon. I highly recommend. You can trade your books in for store credit too
Very helpful staff. They have a new layout now, they remodeled.
For transparency sake, my wife works here.That aside, I love having a local bookstore to support. They are always friendly, and are more than willing to order anything they dont have. Great prices, and they take trade ins for store credit.
Gottwals is one of my favorite places to spend a couple of hours and to find new books. Every member of the staff that I have encountered has been pleasant and helpful, even amid weird things going on with COVID. The general vibe of the store is cheerful, and they carry a very wide selection of gently used books for all ages and tastes.
Great selection, cool staff, and the customers rock.
The best bookstore of all time! I love how I can browse the shelves and find new authors to read. Amazing customer service!
My favorite bookstore. Love being able to buy used books and try out new authors or series. And being able to sell books back helps to get more books to read. My daughters love this place also. We have visited all the local locations
Hate I didnt get any pictures of the outside of this place. Its painted to look like a full bookshelf c: Inexpensive prices and reasonable trade in system. Pictured here are my load of thicker reference books as well as some fantasy novels and Micron pens (not pictured here) for under $30 at the register with store credit (a notable one was the Animal encyclopedia was $50 retail but priced $9 at Gottwals so that should give a visual on some kinds of pricing) The store is somewhat small but large enough that the variety is fairly wide and interesting. Im not a religious person but they definitely support Christian values if that is your thing. Clean and quaint inside, they let us bring in our chihuahua and put him in a cart to browse the store. The Sorting arrangement of the books got a little confusing to me after a while but left satisfied with our purchases all the same. Great stop, will visit again.
Great place to buy and trade your books u can get store credit.
Too expensive.
The BEST customer service ever? Friendly, helpful staff.
Absolutely love this book store. Very good selection and very friendly staff.
Great selection, easy to find what you need, nice unmarred books, friendly staff.
Love this place. I always find some good books. The staff is always so helpful and they are knowledgeable on several different topics. You can tell they love to read as well. I love that you can trade books and get store credit. The prices are great too.
This place is great. They do a great job with keeping things in stock and are very helpful when you cant find what you need. They have reading clubs also. I love this place and would rather come here than the local library. It is quiet here!
Best bookstore in Georgia!!!
Always refreshing, nice and friendly! If you love books, you Gottwals!!!
Great selection and a happy staff.
They did have books. Nice greeting when I came in.
I really enjoy this bookstore. It has current books and they are cheaper than you can get a retailers like Barnes and Nobles and Walmart. The staff was very friendly and had a positive attitude. I would highly recommend this bookstore. Its got something for everyone in it.
Great selection
They continue to impress with the quality of service and care. They make getting school books for your child so simple because they have such caring people to help you.What a great environment too.
Absolutely one of my favorite places. Everyone is always super friendly and very helpful. If I cant find what Im looking for, they order it for me. Great book store!
IfIf they dont have the books you want, theyll contact one of their other stores to see if its available. If not, they can order it for you. I love this place. Great selection of used books, great customer service as well! Highly recommend!
This is a hidden jewel in Macon. They offer a vast assortment of books for various levels of readers. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. On occasion, they have located books for me at other store locations and had it shipped to their store for me. I can always count on Gottwals to carry all of the books that my children need for their summer reading lists. I must also mention that their prices cant be beaten within the Middle Georgia area.
I love all of Gottwals locations, but this location is the closest to me. It has a wide selection, and as always, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I love Gottwals book selling policy (the 50% off is amazing!!). I come here 2-3 times a month, and I love that I dont have to break the bank to explore literature.
Love this place! Friendly and helpful staff, always willing to help or answer questions. Have been to all the middle Georgia locations, and they work together well to be sure that if you want a specific title, they will get it for you.
They give good credit for trade-ins.There bookstore is jam packed with selections for all ages and walks of life. Their creative outside decor gives way to the exciting imaginative world of a readers dream. Their is also a large variety of unique and hard to find new toys from magnetic blocks to magnetic putty.
Very friendly environment. The employees there are very nice and helpful.
Found some hard to find books. Everything is clean, neat, and orderly. Will return when I have more time.
Overpriced, snotty and not worth it. High prices, low quality, awful manager.
Great bookstore with friendly, helpful staff and an extensive collection of awesome books. We were looking for a certain book and they even checked their other stores and offered to order it for us. I highly recommend this bookstore.
Never disappointed, always have something I want to read. Workers are the nicest and will do all they can to help.
One of my favorite stores!
A little of this a little of that. Found exactly what I was looking for
Friendly and knowledgeable personnel. Great selection of used books. Fair prices.
I love this bookstore. The staff is always friendly and helpful. And if theres a book you want and they dont have it they will call other stores for you. I will continue to go to this establishment.
Always finding good books for cheap prices. The best part is that they are in good shape. The people are really helpful and friendly.
Great place to visit, could spend hours there. Found just what I needed.
Friendly, helpful staff. If they dont have what you are looking for, they will get it for you. Pricing is very reasonable, too.
Great book store, brings back memories of all the books Ive read though out the years! I absolutely love the place! Looking forward to my next visit!
I found quite a few books that I had been searching for from my favorite author! This place is great!
Its a place that sells books, so they are great
Good selection and friendly staff. Sell, buy, and trade. Would recommend if youre an avid reader.
The place was really well organized and had way more options than any other discount bookstore I had ever gone in. It was like going to Barnes and Noble, but with reasonable prices that I felt comfortable buying a lot of books from. I loved this!
Really great selection of books and a cute store, large Christian section and plenty of classics and other fiction as well. Also would be a good place to find young adult/childrens books
One of my favorite book stores. Always have a lot of quality used books. Staff are always friendly and helpful.
Good bookstore. All kind of books to enjoy to read. All ages.
Bought communion materials

This place is Amazing. I love it, the people are are so nice and ready to help. The variety is vass and the atmosphere is homey.Added bonus is the wall art on the outside.
Found four of the six hard back books I wanted with the dust jackets for a very reasonable price.
Great people. Great selection. Will definitely go back. Love the outside of the building
Wide selection of used books. When youve read them bring your books back for credit. Staff was really nice.
Magical little place
Great staff and they even are shipping a book from another store for me. Wow!
My first time going there.was looking for visiting cards. For my church. Found them.

Pretty building and they had what I needed.
Great prices, friendly salespeople, and wonderful places to visit.
Great place; great prices.
Books for great prices!
Oh thank goodness for this bookstore. I love it!
Gottwals Books is a real hidden treasure. It looks like a small used book store but there are several locations all supported by a large warehouse. If you go through their extensive inventory at any of their stores and dont find what you seek then ask their friendly, knowledgeable staff to check to see if what you want is in their system somewhere else. The owner himself help me put together a 56 volume collection of a series I wanted for my kids. Great experience. I love shopping there.
Great Used book store with a ever changing selection.
Great selection of books for young readers made for a couple very happy kids. Nice staff as well.
