Very very cool bookstore a few blocks from the hotel we stayed at during our day in Knoxville. It's…read morenot a huge space but I found some really amazing stuff here, including some signed books by authors they've recently had in store, and some really talented local writers I hadn't previously been aware of, a few gift-y things like art prints, journals, stationary, etc, and more. Support indie bookstores! You'll find tons of curated treasures by fellow book lovers and locals!

Great selection of books for sale!

The staff members are always pleasant and it's a wonderful location - an easy walk from Market Square next to one of the finest restaurants in the South - JC Holdway.

Just visited The Book Eddy for the first time and what a great experience! This store has moved…read morefrom Chapman highway to 1621 N Central and is now located in an up and coming area of Knoxville, currently undergoing revitalization. This is a true book store and not a book warehouse. I found several volumes I purchased that are great additions for my home library. The prices were very reasonable. In addition I was welcomed at the door and treated like family. This is a fun place to simply peruse the shelves for interesting volumes and otherwise hard to find titles. I can't give this store a high enough rating. I am now a regular customer.

Good news for Knoxville's book lovers. . .the Book Eddy has opened a small retail space on North…read moreBroadway, near Lost and Found Records. The even better news is that they have lots and lots of their traditional eclectic merchandise. . .at reasonable prices, and the new retail space is comfortable, attractive, and owner John Coleman is a delight to talk books (or other subjects) with. I picked up a first edition of a delightful baseball novel on his recommendation and I can't wait to begin it. My son picked up a nice tight paperback of A Catcher in the Wry (couldn't convince him to choose The Catcher Was a Spy instead, sadly). We were both absolutely thrilled to see The Book Eddy back in operation in Knoxville proper!

My husband and I were invited to an event "exclusively" for Ollie's Army members and initially we…read morewere pretty bumbed out because we were going to be out of town during this event. Immediately, my husband looked up the zip code for where we would be staying in Sevierville and found that there was an Ollie's located nearby. It became one of our first stops on the itinerary. This store was comparable in size to the one located near our home in Carmel, IN and the layout was similar as well. The staff was kind, and I loved everyone's Southern accents and hospitality. The deals were good, too. Shoppers were really stocking up! I saw one person purchase every ironing board that they had on the sales floor. Something tells me they were purchasing them for resale. We purchased a few items, but not too many since we had limited space in our vehicle for this road-trip, but we were happy to be able to participate.

Kryptonite Character Store is a really neat pop culture shop right on The Island of Pigeon Forge…read more Their Loungefly display in the front is what brought me in...however, the prices are what quickly brought me back outside. Now, originally, I saw that the Loungefly bags were $90 and I had sticker shock price. That's exactly how much they are online, so there wasn't any up charging with those. However, spending nearly $40 on a Jurassic Park shirt is just wild. Again, this is a super fun store to browse around...I just couldn't justify the price gouging.

Buckboard Too is a neat store located in Downtown Gatlinburg specializing in a great variety of…read morenostalgic merchandise. This cozy shop is packed with plenty of nostalgic collectibles, novelties, and merchandise from classic TV shows, films, and music including Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Betty Boop, The Beatles, Audrey Hepburn, James Dean, Andy Griffith, Wizard of Oz, Peanuts, Star Trek, DC & Marvel comics collectibles, and many more. They also carry a selection of classic Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola, Budweiser, John Deere, and Harley Davidson collectibles and vintage signs too. I was in here recently while visiting in Gatlinburg on a cold winter night. The place was very busy and I spent a few moments shopping here. The staff was helpful in answering my questions when I was checking out buying a few classic Pez postcards. After asking, I was informed by the staff that this shop does not carry Pez dispensers and no longer stocks the classic Pez signs, which my coworker back in NH collects as a hobby. Overall, this is a very cool place to shop, which is American owned and operated. NOTE: No photography allowed in the store.

Plus, they are so friendly and helpful. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Also important to note that the Funko pops are very reasonably priced. If you go to the island to get a Funko pop you're gonna pay double I highly recommend you turn around and hit the Gatlinburg strip and hit the store up. You will not regret it.

I do wish you could see their selection on their website. But that's a minor issue. I had called earlier before my trip , and the staff were helpful in answering my queries.
