Its a very neat bookstore with a large, organized selection of books, music, and more.

Every book you can think of at a used price. I got 7 books that look brand-new, for half the price of a regular bookstore!

I. Love. This. Place!Its a used bookstore so you are going to get a wide assortment of books, DVDs, blu-rays, comics and records! And you can exchange the books that no longer bring you joy for bookstore credit. I love finding paperback gems so this store is a treat for me!Everything is on one level so movement-wise, its pretty accessible. If you need help getting things from the top shelf or opening the door, then I suggest bringing a buddy to help you out.I 100% recommend this store!

Really great experience.. looks just like a used bookstore should! Creaky floors, maze of shelves, everything in logical categories... they accepted all of my used books and I got a lot of store credit.... nice people at the desk, store not crowded... recommended!

I have tried giving this store a chance multiple times, and every time I am disappointed. The stores atmosphere feels very cheap, and not cozy at all. Most of the books are older, which is fine for fiction, but I wouldnt come here for nonfiction. The prices are OK, but not great. Some of the older paperbacks cost more in this store than they did new. I would give them a chance, but I know it isnt the store for me.

Very, very nice used book store. You wont find rare books, but the have an organized selection in a spotless store. Its obvious this store is a labor of love and I recommend it.

Truly the best used book stores in the Atlanta area. We have been visiting the locations for over 3 decades. They have beautiful collectibles and many other obscure books and movies. Lovely collectible toys or n occasion! Love both locations!!

Great prices and it gets even cheaper with their exchange system. I always come out with a large stack of books for the price of 1 new harcover

A cool little book store that my husband and little one stumbled across. It has everything from records to vhs movies to toys to comic books. My daughter is into Naruto right now so Im sure we will return.

Beautiful, organized bookstore! However, a friend and I purchased Ron Douglas cookbook. What a waste of money!!! There arent any photos, no telling if Ron Douglas even created these recipes. Also, his internet marketing presentations are boring and novice-like!

The Book Nook has been one of my favorite used book stores since I learned how to read. The Marietta location, while smaller than its Decatur counterpart, is so full of life and charm. The two lovely ladies that were at the store today were both very patient with me, and helped me with all the questions I had.I can recall when I was younger, visiting the Book Nook and picking out books to read on the car ride home. Its a great place to get secondhand books that youll love for years.

I found a bunch of old 80s CDs in my storage and they were able to buy many of them from me. Some had lots of scratches but they just took those off my hands too to give away to someone else that might want them. Very friendly helpful and professional.

Review №23

Very dirty store. The staff was very unfriendly and unhelpful. I was uncomfortable and the prices werent the best on the market but not to bad. The low score was more because of staff and the atmosphere. I will not be ever going back or recommending. I couldnt wait to get out of the book nook.

Review №28

Just gave them some books the other day and got a $20 store credit. When you go in there are tons of books organized by category. There’s a kids room and a ton of toys but I didn’t really get to check them out.The store credit can only be used on books and it only counts for half of your purchase. So if I went in and spent $10 I would be able to use $5 of my credit (leaving me with $15) and I would have to pay $5. Which is extremely reasonable seeing as the books were going to donation anyway!

Love this bookstore. Barebones, not much decoration, but theyve had the books Ive wanted at a great price. They have a huge selection!The staff is friendly without being saccharine. I was surprised to not get an automatic greeting when I first walked in, but I realized I like it better that way. Its a fresh breath of genuine interaction. And when I asked for help finding a book, someone took me straight to it.A diamond in the rough.

I have been going here for years. Love the staff. Love the layout. Love the old school vibe. It is literally the only used book store worth a damn in a 30 mile radius. I taught Brit Lit for 20 years and I would give extra credit to students who visited. Its truly a place to fall in love with books.

Great selection and wonderful staff. Ive been a customer for years. Ive always enjoyed my purchases and time spent discussing various films with the crew, as most are movies buffs as well. A great location for hard to find or out of print editions. Were fortunate to have them in the community!

Used book stores are always a great visit, and Book Nook locations are generally right up there. I am also an Action Figure person though, and the other 2 locations seem to have better figure options. Stillness great location as a whole, and good prices.

Not just books here. Games, puzzles, LPs & collectibles as well. Inventory refreshes every couple of months that i visit. Easy to burn a couple of hours here and leave with some treasure you found in the depths of there many many shelves.

Fun way to spend some time with the kids. Great prices on used books. Comic books galore. Need some patience to search inventory (especially comics), as things could be stored better.

Review №58

Always have something different a little offbeat. They have a pretty good vinyl selection, variety of books, even childrens books and some toys. Always been coming here every so often and they really never dissapoint. If you want something different, off the beaten path, and has the charm, this might be for you!

Super creepy and run down looking on the outside, which I also kind of love about it, but the book selection was good and they have records, CDs and cassettes. There staff was also really sweet and game me a discount on my books! I wish I lived closer to it, although my wallet probably doesnt

I love the Book Nook. They always have a great selection. The staff isnt pushy and will help you if asked, which I really like because it means I can browse the shelves in peace. The whole place smells of woof and paper and the floors creak when you walk, making me feel like Im in a dusty library. I shop there all the time and I really love that they give old books new homes instead of them getting thrown away.

Called ahead... they pulled the book I needed... 3 copies. We browsed a little. I was impressed with the size of the store. So expansive. You cant tell from the storefront. They sell all types of media... old Nintendo NES games to xbox 360 titles. . . Comic books... board games. Its a little gem tucked away on Roswell Road.

Review №72

The owner has lost my business forever. I used to frequent this store several times a month. After my last experience I will not be back. My wife and I arrived and began browsing. Immediately I noticed a raised voice from behind the counter. As I listened I overheard a male berating a female for her political views in a very condescending and rude way. I walked to the front and realized the voices were from two staff members. The older male was continuing to berate what appeared to be his younger female staff member and began to espouse his political bigoted views degrading minorities and immigrants. At that point a fellow customer commented he may have picked the wrong bookstore. The man behind the counter then turned his vitriol towards the customer and informed him he was the owner and that the customer could, get the **** out of my store. The customer, my wife and I, and several other customers decided to do just that. I had the pleasure of informing the owner on my way out that I would not be back.

Review №76

The store itself has a great selection of books, movies, music, etc... But, the owner decided to get into a political discussion with my girlfriend for almost an hour, during which he made multiple sexist comments and made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Maybe, in the future, he should remain in his office and keep his opinions to himself. We were there to ship for books, not listen to some old man rant and rave like a lunatic. Dont bother shipping here unless youre looking for an argument.

I really like this store. They sell alot more than books. I found some really great cd music here. Anyone who has an interest in buying/collecting old vinyl records and or old comic books should pay the Book Nook a visit.

Review №85

I will never shop Roswell Rd location (or this company) again. I will never knowingly give my money to a bigot. I would suggest the owner to keep his political and personal views within the confines of his personal space. You never know who is listening, but then again Im sure he doesnt care because I could hear him. Furthermore, his views about the area in which he earns a living were very negative. Go figure.
