Owner ordered all the books I needed and as a student at Stephen f. Austin I was able to get a discount. Owner is nice and friendly and alot of local artists and writers sell their work here.
Great place to stock up on some classics you shouldve read, and to find some new must-reads, as well. This store also has the largest selection of Joe Lansdale works anywhere. Of this I am certain.
Might be a cool place if they were ever open. I have tried for months to catch this place open. Today, I thought I had finally done it. In the time it took me to park and walk to the door they flipped the sign. Online hours do not match when the store is open, and the store does not have hours posted that I could find. I am not sure I have ever tried so hard to give my money to a store. Im done trying.
This is probably the most unique bookstore Ive ever been to. I left the store with two Lansdale novels (definitely a fan, and I love to support good Texas authors) and a Big Lebowski door hanger. The proprietor of this store was very friendly! An all-around great experience for any book lovers and those who are geeky.
Lovely local bookshop, had a wide variety of books and other items. The owner was incredibly friendly & kind to us, I will definitely return!
Great local bookstore featuring both classics and work drawn from the region. Not where you go for mindless twaddle, but real literature.
Great selection, excellent customer service.
Outstanding local business! Epicenter of local art, and culture. A breathe of fresh air during this pandemic. Great vibes, open and loving environment to all. Check it out.
Super nice little spot with a super nice owner! We were walking by when he was cleaning up after being shut-down for quarantine, and were actually his first customers after being shut down. Super friendly guy with a cool little shop.
They have the most amazing things
LOVE the Bosslight! So happy to support this business and share great books with friends!
It was really fun perusing local authors and merchandise. Theres lots of unique stuff. The tshirts were cool too.
Eclectic Choices of Books, Local Art, and Topping off Truly Enlightening Experience; Texas Author, Tim Bryant is Owner of this Hidden lil Treasure of Texas!!! One can EVEN Purchase one of his many Novels & He will Gladly Autograph it to You, PLUS; You can Get Your Photo made with Your Personally Autographed book of his with The Author Himself!!! This ALONE; Totally worth visiting here.
Tim is always goes above and beyond to help you find what you need. Lots of unique one of a kind locally sourced items for sale as well.
My husband and I stopped by while waiting to meet our daughter for lunch, and our experience made us glad she was delayed. The distinguished gentleman who greeted me was friendly, helpful, and informative. Come to find out he and his wife Jean, who was also there, run the bookstore on Wednesdays so the owner, Tim Bryant, their son and a published author/musician, can dedicate that day to writing, music, etc... We perused books written by Tim himself in addition to other local writers. What a unique ambiance- an actual author who owns an eclectic, interesting bookstore and is also involved in the local music scene! Best part, Tim is tapping into the wealth of knowledge his parents can impart while they assist his visitors, customers, & patrons. My daughter and son-in-law plan on visiting Bosslight soon, and we will definitely go back every time we visit Nacogdoches!!! Don’t miss it!!!
Bosslight books is one of those places that you want to sit for hours and talk. Amazing art on the walls, fulfilling conversation and to top it all off amazing selection of books. Tim is the owner and he is down to earth, friendly and a great artist himself. Buy Constilations By Tim Bryant while you are there.. 😉
Great place! Helpful and knowledgeable people. Ill be back soon!
Great book store. My favorite hang out when I am in town.
We worth a visit. In downtown Nacogdoches. I love books. Also features artwork done by locals. Woodwork and paintings. There are benches all over if you want to be outside. Great location. Staff are kind and helpful.
Super cool shop! They hosted my friends book signing. They have really cool art and books galore! Super friendly staff too!
I love the vibe and uniqueness. It is one of a kind with books, art, and collection items. Also work from local artists. They also have a book club.
Excellent experience! Great atmosphere, quality service! Most certainly coming back.
Stopped in this bookstore during a road trip through East Texas, and it was one of my favorite spots! The owner, Tim, is very friendly and can offer recommendations for good books AND local taco places.
I love having a local bookstore & gift shop. However, it’s more than just a store, The Bosslight also serves as a community space for book clubs & groups.
A wide variety of books and other cool stuff. Location is in historic downtown which makes the whole shopping experience that much cooler.
Super welcoming! I love the montage of local art work, books and woodworking!
An asset to Nacogdoches, and a community all its own. A great selection of books, music, art, and much more. If youre going through Nacogdoches for any reason, take a few minutes to come browse the shop and talk with Tim. It is well worth it.
What a wonderful group of people to have gathered in this nostalgic place nestled in the center of Nacogdoches .. The owner of Bosslight Book Store closed early to let my Sister in law have her husbands memorial service in his establishment.. such a sweet act of love and friendship to my brothers memory .. thank you, the Kendall Sisters
I really love this place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although they didnt have what I was looking for, there were plenty of other cool things in this store to quench your inner nerd thirst.
This is the perfect place for books and unique gifts. The customer service is amazing and you are left feeling like a friend not a customer.
Great selection, love the poetry night they have 1st Thursday of every month
This place is a great place to go to for items about Nacogdoches and books by East Texas authors. There are also items made by local artist offered here. The owner is a treasure chest of information about our town and all the items offered at his store. This is a must stop for anyone interested in Nac and the surrounding area.
This is the best hang out spot in all of NAC! Love the owner and the vibes!
We always come to this shop if we are Nac Shopping and I am always in love with the books and the new items they carry! Definitely a must to visit!
A delightful bookstore, quirky finds and very friendly staff to help and answer any questions.
Great little Book Store in the heart of down town Nacogdoches. Books, vinyl, Teeshirts and lots more.
Nice modern variety of books, also other collectibles.
Excellent independent bookstore. Variety, with excellent service.
Owner is friendly
Wonderful atmosphere and great shopping!
