Ive been riding past that store for several years now and I have never stopped to go inside! Today something just said Deborah, go inside! And I am so glad that I did! It was fantastically designed so that different categories were in different areas such as romance and historical books or books for children. I intend to go back and explore further because I have opened up a plethora of adventures at this bookstore! You should try it yourself! You will be amazed!
This is a great used book store! There is always a wide selection of titles and the atmosphere is calm and soothing. No one bothers you and you can peruse books at your leisure. The stock is constantly updated so you can usually find what you are looking for. Be sure to trade in your old books - their trade in policy is generous and worth your while.Definitely worth a visit!
Really cool store. I went to it after visiting the Decatur store. Staff were friendly and the store even though it has a bunch of stuff is well organized.
This place is awesome. They have all the books in the world it would seem and its a relatively large store even though it looks small and it has little rooms of book even places to sit and read. Its all organized by category and easy to find just what your looking for!!
I have been a Book Nook customer for over 30 years. Its a terrific place to find second hand books for all ages and interests. You can also find used dvds and collectable toys and comics. There are several locations including Lilburn and Decatur.
Excellent selection of used books, toys, music & comics.
I love this book store. All the books are previously owned and are reasonably priced. They also have comics, dvds, cds, vinyl and even some action figures. Im sure they have some other things too. Greatly recommend a visit!
I’m a fan of this store. Been shopping there for years. Always a reavsection of books, music and comic books.
Very pleased with the service and inventory selection. Highly recommend this location.
Amazing little place...the lady running the place was down to earth very helpful and fun to talk to.
Amazing find on our trip to GA. The lady there was super nice and helpful. If you want to find used books at a great price check them out. They have comics, manga, and also some collector items.
Make sure you come here with plenty of time to browse. Books, CDs, more books, DVDs, records, and still more books.Prices are reasonable, and the quantity of items available is quite impressive. It is not often that I can stop by and leave without buying something...
Impressive book selection and a friendly staff. As long as youre not looking for a brand new book, this is the place.
I found something that I wasnt even looking for here. Which is great when youre just in a store looking around. Erica is knowledgeable and the selection is huge on used books graphic novels comics and a lot more. And the deals are great.
They have a vast stock of books, magazines, hardcovers and general media. Also I found some vintage collectables like toys and records. The place isnt too big but it is fill with merchandise wall to wall. There are sections but be prepared to spend quite some time browsing on your own. They have a decent section for CDs and records as well as DVDs and blue Ray. The prices could use a bit more of reality because I found quite common items priced very steep. After all most of the items arent brand new. Overall its a good place for any book lover and Im glad they survived the pandemic crisis.
If you are into old books then this is the place to be. Locally owned book store which not only sells old books but trades then as well. I have traded few books and use the store credit to purchase books from the store. Most of the books are in very good condition and totally worth the cost.
It great for getting any kind of books and comics too good Selection of manga as well.the man in there is always friendly 😀
The staff isnt very friendly, and the comics are in disarray, but theyve got a wide selection of books and comics. Just be prepared to dig for yourself, and dont expect much help from the staff with the comics other than its in this general area.
I have been coming here since I was in middle school and I love this store and I have bought so many hard to find movies and books for a fraction of the price of any other competitors that are around this location I will continue to shop here and I urge you to do the same
Good books. Reasonable price.
Something for everyone and for your every mood. Love to browse and just pick stuff off the shelves almost at random. Wish the Buford Highway store was still open. Decatur is a real haul for me from where I live so this Lilburn store is a treasure. 4 or 5 of the last books (novels, although I buy non fiction as well) from Book Nook have become real favorites that I will always cherish. Pls help support this special landmark place with your business, especially during this challenging time.
Very cozy little hidden gem. Feels like walking someones personal collection with tons on offer from vintage literature, and records to collectors items and memorbillia. Definitely worth checking out and spending a moment to admire whats ob offer here.
The employees there were supper nice and they are always available for help if you need anything like finding a certain book, well educated people on novels and the store has a great variety of books, movies, music and collectibles. I will be visiting this store more often 5/5
I really like this book store because the staff is very helpful and friendly. The book salection is huge and I can always find books to buy. They also have good selection of DVDs, blue rays and comic books.
If you turn in books here you get store credit or cash. The cash isnt worth it on most things but store credit gives you 50 percent off their price which is a better deal. You never know until you look to see what they have that day. I have gone and found recently released books. Its a great place to get many titles by one author. Fun place to browse. They carry soft back, hard back, coffee table, vintage, kids and signed books. They also carry comics, DVD, albums and CD and misc other things. Good luck hunting!
A great used book store that sells more thank books!First off, you can find books from all genres in this place. Looking for self-help books? They got it! Looking for the Classics? They got it! Looking for horror books? They got it!The Book Nook also sells comic books, graphic novels, DVDs, action figures and CDs.You can easily spend thirty minutes in this store just looking at all the books. Not counting anything else.As for prices, they are reasonably. I bought some paperback books from 5.99 to 6.99. Hardbacks will be more expensive though.
Great selection of books. A bit cramped. Thought the prices were too high. A used paperback book thats $10.00 regular price, their price is $6.00. Thats way too high when you can get a brand new paperback at Sams club for $6.68. If they would lower their prices to 60 percent off Id be a regular shopper.
Book selection is great. Sadly, the vinyl is overpriced ($10+, sometimes more than twice the cost of competitors) and disorganized (much of what they have is in bins of new arrivals but those are packed full and difficult to browse). Suggested alternatives: the nearby CD Warehouse and the Book Nook at North Druid Hills.
I love this place. They have a good sized stock and, really, nothing can beat the feeling of a book in your hand. Plus, its always fun to be surprised by unexpected book findings. There simply arent enough used book stores left and I am happy to support one of the few that still stands.
The woman who was working there was very helpful and informative. My kids are into birding, and she was very knowledgeable about the subject. We werent able to purchase these beautiful rare Roger Tory Peterson books, but we left with some nice field guides.Besides books of all kinds, the store had old vinyl records, comic books, dvds, cds, etc.
This place is amazing! The book selection is great, but I’m more into the other stuff: vinyl, CD’s, comic books, retro toys, retro video games, etc. Also, the staff is very helpful and friendly. Overall great experience, I can’t wait to go back!!
I cant believe it has taken me so long to find this gem in Lilburn. Tons of books some several decades old but in great condition. Fabulous collection of DVDs, vinyl, comic books, collectibles. Their books are well organized too & they offer good trade in value towards their inventory. Go see them. They only allow 2 people per nook at a time for COVID-19 safety. Make sure to tell the cashier if its your fist time there bc you get Book Nook cash to use when you return!
We turned in alot of books for credit. I stepped back in time looking at the albums and 45s. So many resent books we could have gotten for less.
Great selection of used CDs, books, and movies. I never leave empty-handed! If youre looking for affordable CDs, they have a shelf with some as low as $0.50. Ive found some gems hiding in there from time to time. Book selection spans all genres and most are in pretty good condition. Movies are the same, a little bit for everyone. Overall, a great little shop thats been around for quite some time. Check it out!
Definitely wasnt expecting to leave with as much as I did since it was my first time there. They had a little bit of everything! I definitely want to go back again real soon.
The clerk was nice and helpful. I found a great book here because of him. Ive never seen so many books in such a small store!
I can usually find a book but its not always the one I was looking for. The staff is very friendly and helpful when you want it. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good place for used books.
This place is incredible.I go here every now and then to get lost in the labyrinth of bookshelves. They also have lots of records which I pour through to update my own record collection.The staff is friendly, chill, and always happy to answer any questions. They also will buy your old books.Its a lovely little independent bookstore.
This place is incredible. They have books out the ying yang!!! I went here expecting to find what I was looking for. I didnt find it but I found something even better. A very friendly and helpful hipster type woman who offered me top notch customer service and Id drive 45 miles to shop at her store in a heartbeat. Great job maam. I hope she reads this post since its basically about her. Im the guy who though you had a store in little five points on 7/28/19 during the last 30 mins of your store hours.
Lots more than books. If you are the type of person who still enjoys physical media, you should definitely go. Its one of the best used book stores Ive been to. The used CD selection is pretty exhausting. If youre shopping for CDs, set aside some time-theyre organized by artists first initials, so if you want that one REM CD, you have to peruse all the whole R section. Also, DVDs and comic books!
This place is a great find. Prices are on point. They run a sale every 4th of july and everything in store is half off! Can not beat that. Staff is friendly and helpful. Which can be hard to find at a comic shop. Back selection is decent. More than some others.
I always feel like a kid in a candy store when I go in the Book Nook. Their rooms of books make for a refreshing book store experience.
Great place for used books and tapes at a reasonable price. Always friendly service to.
Cashier didnt give back my debit card, and I get a charge for $119 from Amazon Prime that I did not do. They lost my trust.
Lovely quaint little place, but also not little at all. Ive driven passed this place for so many years and after going in for the first time I was able to see how massive this place is. Worth a visit for anything from books to movies, CDs to comic books.
Old comics for $0.50! Vintage childrens books for $5.00!The store has several rooms of used books arranged by category. There is other media too, including BluRays, DVDs, VHS, video games, and music. I cant speak for everyone, but I imagine fans of different genres / types of books will be able to find a few gems at very reasonable prices. As a fan of comics and childrens books, I certainly did. I detail my adventures below, so read on only if youre curious. The concise description above is my courtesy to you.Ive visited Book Nook on Lawrenceville Hwy two times.The first time I stopped by simply to check out the local book store. I was amazed at the sheer quantity, the low price, and the character of the books (see: used, rare, vintage). As I settle into middle-age, I appreciate the nostalgia, past design aesthetic, and tactile quality of older products. As a fan of childrens books, I enjoyed the selection and illustration styles of yesteryear grouped together in a room devoted to books for younger humans. I ended up buying an old Disney book with strong line work (its Disney) and flat colors, nothing like the Frozens and Moanas kids watch today (which are works of art in their own right).I passed by a couple more rooms of books with words. Genre books, business books, biographies, and such, Id imagine. I noticed a sci-fi section, but its probably just a matter of a nerd noticing what he likes.Past the smaller rooms, the store opens into a larger area with used BluRays, DVDs, VHS (yep!), music (didnt really visit this section), and COMIC BOOKS! The rows upon rows of narrow white boxes filled with comics reminded me of visiting comic stores as a teen in the 90s. There is a modest collection of new, bagged comics, but I feel the real prize was the used comics. There is a medium sized shelf of manga too. There is a good number of graphic novels, but they didnt seem too much cheaper than what you could get new ones for on Amazon. For individual issues, bagged new comics start at $1, but the boxes on the floor contain unbagged comics for $0.50 each. I dont need any comics (who really NEEDS them), but Im happy to buy some for so cheap. I think I got a Jim Lee Uncanny X-Men, an old Wizard magazine featuring Joe Madureira (also half a dollar), and a couple others before I decided I had made my wife, who was accompanying me, wait long enough.I have visited Book Nook one more time, sans wife, and I spent at least half an hour (probably closer to an hour) rummaging through the used comics. I started with the As, got through the Bs, and went home very satisfied with a stack of comics for $11 or $12 dollars. I got several old Avengers comics from the 80s and 90s, all of Astonishing X-Men (Joe Mad) and Amazing X-Men from the Age of Apocalypse, whatever BattleChasers issues they had, a Masamune Shirow Appleseed, and perhaps a couple more. I dont know if Ill make it all the way to the Zs, but Id love to go back and exchange a few George Washingtons to ward off maturity and adulthood.Book Nook is a happy place for me. I visited their North Druid Hills location and also had a grand time!
This place makes me happy. I love the smell of books. They have a ton of books to buy. They also carry dvds, comics etc. Too.
Really cool bookstore lots of used selection though due to that you wont necessarily find a specific book you are looking for. Also a large selection of comics and collectables. If you still have a vcr they have vhs tapes as well as modern blu-ray and dvds. Additionally big selection of records and cds. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the are.
Just a great book store to shop in. They also sell collectible toys relating to the vintage movies, and soooo much more. Also childrens books. YOU should drop by, you wont be disappointed.
Good place to get a variety of books, comics, dvds-blue ray video discs, records, and toys.
Book Nook is always fabulous! Dont come expecting them to have what you want, since its a used book store, but browsing always results in some good finds. Plus its fun!
Fantastic selection of all kinds of books, movies, video games and music. Everything was extremely organized. The use of space is fantastic and makes it very easy to navigate the store.
We trade in our books all the time for a credit. Then the kids and I scour the kids section and get half off already inexpensive books. We love this place and have been going here for years.
Very varied, locally collected/traded books, CDs/DVDs, and comic/anime collector pieces. Enjoyed how section reading is written above doorways and organized chronologically as well as should be. My 3 year old son and I made friends with another lady and her grandson while browsing and the tight rooms with easy in-out viewing made me feel comfortable and safe for my son to explore a little while picking out an educational reward dated from 90s to today stories while adhering to general standards of manners approved by adults (parents who are weary, check before handing the written material to your child) and subject matter appropriate to any readers age. And since Best Buy went digital, it is nearly impossible finding music or movies to own without resorting to ordering what you need through online like Amazon. Location is easy to see, but the location is hard to determine/judge turning in off the main road. The opening to the lot of the establishment is odd to judge since once you make the turn in, the drive slants down at a deep angle and sharply bears to either direction (the entrance and outside stands are to the drivers left in the parking lot). And I suggest your unwanted pieces willing to trade or sell could b worth more there than online. And either way, they give an awesome trade-in value if what u have is junk but do based on weight.
I love books .. I love people who love books .. They have lots of selections to meet the curiosity of the youngest reader to the peculiar requests of someone like me or one who loves finding the perfect little book to share with others .
I bought two books and found a DVD I want to get.Always friendly.
Great prices on books and comic books! And I love the asthetics of the place. I feel like a kid at the school library again🙂
The woman that works there is so sweet and so helpful. Plus shes an amazing artist. Prices are great. Selection is huge. Service is awesome!
This shop is crammed to the ceiling with books. Its a bit overwhelming. Each room is its own section, but the organization within each section is unclear. Great customer service. The cash payout for selling items is very low.
Theyve gotten better with organizing their books. Was asked if I needed help twice, which was nice. Prices seem to have gotten slightly higher since I was last there but I found a few gems. They also have CDs and DVDs too.
Learn how to deal with People of Color, and be more polite towards people shopping in your store instead of rushing them out the door. When asked if there was a website you replied “No, which was a lie and I am truly OFFENDED by the treatment received and my Grandson was with me. Never again Will I shop at your establishment.
I love this style! Quaint and cute, and has an amazing variety of used bonds, music, movies, and more! I grew up shopping at another location, and this one is really close to my new home. I know Ill be a regular!
Been shopping here for 15 or more years. Great selection of books and music. Staff always nice and helpful.
I wish that there were more places like this. 45 minute drive (for me) but it is well worth it. Great atmosphere plus fantastic and knowledgeable staff.
Fantastic store. Friendly staff and excellent selection. The manager is a comic book fan so he has even accepted trade-in items from me before .
You can trade your used books, music, or movies that you no longer need for used books, music, or movies that you want. And you can buy this used stuff for nearly half the price of new stuff. Now there are no excuses to miss out on anything.
A world of books from all categories! Loved it! Also collectable toys, games and magazines at a deep discount! I was like a kid in the Candy store!!
I absolutely love the Book Nook, I went there for a few Jazz CDs wasnt disappointed! Will definitely return.
Have been coming to Book Nook for years. you never know what you will find there. great selection.
A good used book store. You can take in your old books for credit. Their location on N. Druid Hills is much larger.
Theres always something desirable here. Also a good place to spend time between other activities. So glad its in business and the staff are helpful and friendly.
Great local store with a good selection of books and comics. Movies tend to be overpriced. Friendly and helpful staff.
Lovely bookshop with a wide variety of genres and authors. I spent a very enjoyable hour browsing from room to room and left with a stack of treasures.
Great selection of movies and books. Ive been coming here since I was a kid.
Great selection of everything!! Books, CDS, and action figures.
Excellent place to explore. Book lovers come on in. They are open again! Please come in and support this family friendly business.
Absolutely Rude!!! I called to inquire about a bulk purchase of items I wanted to make and was hung up on. When I called back to see if it was a mistake, she answered What do I want? I asked her name and she wouldnt give it to me but admitted to hanging up on me because I wouldnt get to the point and again ask What did I want? I told her that was all I needed from her and hung up. IM Very DISGUSTED by her lack of customer service and common respect for others! I will never spend another penny there for me or my kids! DISGUSTING ESTABLISHMENT!!!
Excellent variety, friendly people
This place is ok. The trade-in program isn’t transparent or consistent, so I don’t recommend that, but the store is cool to browse and though he prices don’t beat Amazon imo the experience does.
This is my favorite used book store for U.S History. The environment is absolutely perfect, paired with a friendly, helpful staff.
Great little bookstore with comics, audiobooks, games, gaming manuals, collectibles and figurines, and a variety of fantastic stuff.
Great store! Im so glad we can get used books from a store this cool!
Awesome place, only go if you have plenty of time, cause they have tons of cool stuff...
Definitely one of the best places for reliably finding used media in Gwinnett County. Well organized and well priced, the trade-in credit is great too.
Very nice
People still buy cds, right?==i have been coming in here for 20 years==they still have stuff i want==and their discount stuff is pretty cheap and worth going through==just talking about cds==they have other stuff==books, right?==wle
Go often, since they buy and sell used books theyll have something different every so often.
Great place to browse and find books that may be out of print. Nice selection and variety.
Very helpful owner and well organized for a used book store.
Great book store with a bunch of old books. Guarantee to find something for all readers
Pretty good book selection. Highly recommend if you like book treasure hunting.
Kinda pricy for used books, and no price tags. Got 2 books and they arent in the best shape. Ten bucks. I think Ill stick to amazon.
I could spend my life in this place awesome awesome books Classic Fun easy reading whatever you want is in here
Everything you need for reading or watching. DVD. CD autobiography old school movies and Books Books Books. I was amazed as well as overwhelmed at the same time
I love this place! Super cheap. I found the book I needed for school for less than half of its cover price.
This book store has a very traditional southern selection. Basically no reference material, and has all the Afro writing in a tiny closet behind a back room.
Great selection of slightly used books,cds, and Videos.
Great 2nd hand book store sells cd, vinyl, and comics too
Simple used book store. If you have the time to search youll definitely find some gems
Been going g to book nook since I was a kid. Great spot for cheap used books
Weak selection of used CDs at prices higher than other used CD sellers.
Charming book store with TONS of books, CDs, DVDs, records etc. Lovely knowledgable staff.
Its always worth stopping in if youre in the area, you can easily find a good addition to your book, video or audio library.
Please by all means go and browse in the Book Book! They have any kind of book you could hope for. The folks who work here are the best!
Amazing selection, good prices, and nice staff

An Atlanta staple of used books and movies. This one of several locations. Ive shopped the chain for nearly 40 years.
Love the place, my only complaint is they ruin their paperback produce by stamping book nook on most of them.
Awesome selection of pre-owned dvds and books.
Always has the books I want at a great price
I buy many books and CDs from two of their locations!
A great little store where I have found all sorts of hidden gems.
Ive been a customer for 3 years now.. Beautiful atmosphere.. Something for everyone..
A gem in the rough, this place is like golden history with the familiar scent of coveted pages.
Endless books from ceiling to floor! And very clear labeling!
Large variety of books for half the price or even less.
Nice inventory, but the hostess or owner was a little unfriendly, bordering on rude.
I love this place. I can always find something to read and for a great price
Great place to find your favorite book
This place is heaven. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

2022-07-26The best used bookstore I have seen in years!! I remember seeing this about ten years ago when I first moved to Georgia and now I finally walked in and was NOT disappointed! The best books and great deals and I purchased over $50 so I got 10% off my purchase! Love the seller who was there, didn’t get his name but he was very sweet! You even get a free bookmark per purchase. Didn’t disappoint at all, will definitely be coming back! Please give the place some love if you are in the neighborhood!

2022-05-04I love The Book Nook. You never know what youll find. Last week, I was a little depressed about Gilbert Gottfrieds passing, and then I found his book at the Nook! You better believe it came home with me.
Review №5
2022-06-04They don’t close at 7:00pm. They close at 6:45pm! I raced from the Westside of Atlanta knowing I’d have 15 minutes to get what I needed only to be met at the door at 6:43 by an older guy telling me they are “closed”. The owner needs to get new employees at this place. I love Book Nook but the service here horrible!!!

2020-01-26I really like this store. We had been to the one in Decatur abour a few thousand times. This one is smaller, but quieter and intimate. Books line every wall and theres a pleasure in browsing and looking at things you never would have seen otherwise. Excellent.

2022-04-10Great collection of books, cds, DVDs comics and more. Very well categorized! Good prices!
Review №8
2022-02-05Ive supported this business 30 YEARS with my loyalty of buying up Prince albums & magazines. They are always short with me when I come into their establishment and some older lady especially with her bigotry making snark remarks towards me being a Prince fan. She even said during one visit that I should get a commission for selling a Roger and Zapp vinyl to a customer which gave them more business especially for someone that is very rude and unprofessional towards such a good loyal customer.
