Great place for books. I especially like their classics collection. They have puzzles also.
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!!
Ahhh so many amazing books here that I couldn’t find anywhere else. So glad I stumbled upon this place.
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.
Great place to find cds dvds and books. Great prices and good folks. Always helpful.
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.
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!
This store is bigger than it looks and has tons of items. Something for everyone.
Found this place by accident needed to get rid of my wifes library and wanted to donate books or sell them. And found this place. My wife is a writer. And she had some incredible books and yeah. The ladies were very generous. And not only that the vinyl and books and toys are just fantastic
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!
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 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.
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!
Very large selection of used books. plenty of records and CDs as well. selection is not as prime as the Decatur location, but thats expected
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!
Great prices on LPs, was amazed at the conditions of the vinyl as well. Huge collection of books including Comics, Magazines, Blu-ray discs, DVDs and CDs as well as audio books, Laser Discs and collectable toys. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff!!
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!
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.
Wonderful book store with friendly staff. They have a good variety, with books that you dont find at your average bookstore. They also have comic books, toys, and movies for sale. Good if youre wanting to randomize your entertainment.
Interesting assortment, staff were easy to locate when we needed to check out.
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.
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
One of my favorite book stores. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Huge huge selection and amazing deals. I never leave here with less then 4-5 books.
Never find what Im looking for but walk out w everything I didnt know I wanted.
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.
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.
Its a very neat bookstore with a large, organized selection of books, music, and more.
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.
They have a lot of fun books and other things to look through. I enjoy shopping here. Their record collection was expensive though. We headed down to L5P after and found a larger selection of new and used records for a lot less.
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.
Dingy book store great for cheap book work but must say awesome selection and very helpful staff would def recommend a look
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.
The selection is great but the staff is hit or miss. They do give cash or credit for books and always seem to be fair in what they take. Their DVD collection continues to expand and last time I went in there they also had an offering of action figures.
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 love the selection of just STUFF here! There is sure to be a little something for everyone. And if you are a fan like me of this place, their credit value is great! Great way to get some good books, movies, games, ect for a low price!
Love it love it love it...I have been shopping with Book Nook stores since the 80s. I can get lost for hours looking through everything there. People there are always friendly and ready to help too.
Not a big selection of 60s thru 80s comics that I was looking for. But otherwise a decent book store. Its the same as there other locations and with a visit
Great selection, courteous staff on my typical visit, I always want to go more than I get to. We can get a pile of books for my little bookworm to read for the same price that would get just a few new ones at a regular store.
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.
Great little book store. Youll find something you like even if you dont like books
I love the Book Nook! They have books on just about anything you could imagine. They have alot of books that are surprisingly organized well. They are all also in really good shape for them to be used books. The book nook sells DVD collections, records, collectors editon dolls and even more! The staff tends to be nice although some more than others. I have been coming here for years and will continue as long as its here.
Super prices and books are in great condition. staff is knowledgeable and friendly. hard not to leave with arms filled with books and videos!
Huge selection of books, vinyl, comics, dvds....anything your used heart desires. I love this location. Friendly staff; quiet shopping atmosphere. Cant beat the prices!!
Great people, great selection, fair trade ins.
Book Nook is a good used book store. Although, it has a very small selection of hardcover literary fiction. There are a lot more popular authors. They have a large comic book and dvd section as well. The prices are neither bad nor great, but somewhere in the middle ground of books. The major drawback: they could use ti be a bit more vigilent about the state of books they resale. Several had sigfinicant mildew issue.
The book nook is one of my all-time favorite places to go.they have the huge variety books video games comic books movies and the service and organization is amazing
WONDERFUL real book store! Found some seafaring classics I was seeking for our cruise vacation. Big selection of books, vinyl, games, and DVD/vhs and audio formats.
Awesome used book store. They have a good childrens section and a great selection of games puzzles, comics, CDs, DVDs and more.
Very kind staff and good selection of new and used books.
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.
I love this kind of used bookstore. It has a really laid back feel and you can smell the books. Lots of vintage comics too.
The past two times I’ve gone, I’ve been treated well by the workers here. I also found the books I’ve been looking for!
Great place to look for books. Took my granddaughters here for the first time and they had a blast. I will definitely be a customer here!
Amazing find in Marietta!! Tons of great materials, they buy and trade as well. Great prices. My new go to for some good reads, music, games, movies, everything!
Excellent customer service. The place was perfect. Will definitely tell all my friends about this place.
So many book and record choices! The service was great too, they were very helpful. Definitely coming back soon!
Nice used books store. Freindly staff, laid back atmosphere. Also carries used cds, vinyl and video games. Lots of comics too. Nice place to visit.
They have a good number of books there. Its also a neat place to purchase comic books, movies,etc. The only bad thing about this place was the parking lot, but other then that great place to kill some time at.
Great used book store, very large. Helpful, I knew name of book but not the author, With help I purchased 3 of the 4 books I needed.
Incredible selection of books, great service, good prices. New customers get a discount as well. Highly recommend this place.
They sell comics books & all PS systems & all Xboxes systems used games and accessories. They also sells used & new books. All for a good price.
Its not a fancy book store, theres no AC, the employees dont say anything to you or even smile. But they do have a lot of books... So theres always that.
Ive known Book Nook for a LONG time. I used to live in Chamblee and go to the one at Skyland Shopping Centre. When I moved here, I was so glad to be able to get there by bus. They moved and while CCT cut the #65 bus out, my boyfriend and I still go here a lot. I usually spend a great deal of time or money-or both more than at most bookstore because I can afford more here than Barnes & Nobles or the old bookstores at the malls.
A tremendous amount of books.
It is a neat book store with fair prices. I notice that they dont seem to get many new items for sale that much but i guess that is the nature of being a used book store.
The best used book store in the area. Always neat, well organized. Have used games, books, cds, dvds, books on cd and other items. Have a great room of books for kids.
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.
Excellent selection of books, comics and cDs at super reasonable prices!
They have a good selection of books, music, and moviesn on various formats. Been frequenting for 20+ years. Check them out!
This is always a cool place to visit
Never had a bad experience with this place. Usually find some cool music or movies to add to my collection. Hope to visit again soon!
Appalling and scary experience. The Book Nook has lost my business indefinitely. This past Saturday I was dismayed to over hear an older male (the owner) behind the counter of the Marietta Book Nook loudly disrespecting and openly belittling a younger female employee due to her political views. He openly voiced many racist and sexist comments. A fellow customer said I think I chose the wrong bookstore to try to curb the berating of the female employee to which the owners response to this patron was screaming, I guess you believe in freedom of speech, Get the F*** out of my store then. I am utterly appalled by this owners behavior towards his female employee and then to his customer. I would not support the business of an owner that openly voices bigotry and displays aggression towards others.
Really cute place. Lots of selection! But pretty pricey on some items such as rpg books and some paperbacks.
I can spend an hour looking thru the used books, DVDs and CDs. Neat place. Limited parking. Trade in your books, DVDs and CDs for store credit.
A bit run-down, but one of the best used book selections in Marietta. Great graphic novels section!
I love this place. I always find so many books and they honor repeat customers with credit vouchers.
Nice place tons of books comics and DVDs at good prices.
Great staff! Selection is awesome and the prices are fair. Might get a little hot in the summer since its an older building, but they have fans going.
Wide selection of books, vinyl albums, comics, and more! They have great prices and nice staff members!
Friendly staff, well organized place with lots of options. Hardback and softcover books, CDs, DVDs, BluRays, magazines, video games, and toys.
Best used book store Ive been in. Staff was amazing knew their collection and was able to recommend books I may enjoy.
This book store is very nice.Id definitely come back (but with a list).
Great place to find books movies comics records, you name it! Spent 2 hours in here looking and could have spent all day!
Great place to recycle old books & buy ones you havent read before, wonderful selection.
Excellent selection of new and used books, DVDs, CDs, comics, etc. Fun place to browse.
I love this place the people that work there are super cool and they do the best to help you find what you need. i do wish they stayed open later, sometimes when i get off of work i want to go, but its okay.when i do go its always super fun and entertaining.

Amazing place for book lovers. Make sure you have lots of time to wander and search!

2022-08-07My first time visiting the book nook was September of 2021. At that time the store was a wee bit quiet/stale and not to fancy metaphysical/ spirituality section (aka my favorite)Now it has what seems to be a completely new staff. They are all kind and have a good energy about them the store manager Ali was so kind and sweet to me ! She’s very helpful and knowledgeable about the store in its entirety. She will always point you in the right direction and handle your trade ins with care and good consideration.The new and bestselling section always has something new to offer!The store itself is more tidy and organized than last year!I’m impressed with all the changes in just under a year!The store is full of books, comics, Blu rays and dvds, great childrens room, and you could get lost in the stacks for hours!If you ever doubted the book nook for your used book needs, give it a second glance.

2021-07-09I. 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!

2021-07-26I 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.

2021-05-29Really 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!
