I love that the majority of their books are sorted by author and therefore very easy to navigate. There are a few fiction subsections but for the most part all fiction is placed together.

Yesterday was my first time coming in, and I loved it! They had every book on my look out for list,…read moreand then some. A total of sixteen books, not sorry lol. All my friends I was with were very happy with their findings as well. The only negative thing I could possibly say about this awesome place was the young guy with glasses that rang me up at cash register two. After setting my basket down and getting out my credit card, I realize he must be waiting for me to get the books out, so no problem, I'm not above that. He waits for me to get all my books out, scans them, and that's it. Doesn't give me a bag to put my all my books in, or even help put back in the basket. No words to indicate the interaction is over until I awkwardly realize it on my own. He was very off-putting. I will still be back because this place, otherwise, is amazing and I want to bring some family members and friends who I know will have fun too.

The daughter being done with her Master's program at Vanderbilt was looking for a place to…read moreoffload/sell her nursing textbooks. She found McKay's online and it seemed to be the best place to do that. Wow -- we were not prepared for the massiveness of this super, super busy place! Being our first time and not knowing how it all worked, it didn't take us long to figure out where to go and what to do. There wasn't much of a line when we started. We placed her books in a bin, then waited to be called by a greeter. Our greeter quickly explained the process, gave the daughter a claim ticket, then we waited. In the 40 minutes it took for her claim number to come up on the screen, we were able to walk through most of the sections and pick out a couple things to buy. I was quite surprised to find so many things beyond books -- DVDs, VHS, vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, clothing, Pokémon cards, instruments, game consoles, accessories, Legos, toys, comic books, etc. It was seriously amazing. My daughter decided to take her sale in trade which gave her about 50% more to spend. For the books they didn't buy she was given the option to take them back or donate them there. She chose to donate. The husband loves old movies, art and music -- he will absolutely enjoy McKay's. I can't wait to bring him here! The parking lot is as massive, so I don't think there's ever an issue with that.

Parnassus welcomes you with a cozy feeling the moment you step inside. It's absolutely gorgeous and…read morejust the kind of place you want to linger in! The shelves are filled with a large selection of books, all organized by genre. There's a section for stationery, puzzles, totes, and other fun things as well! The dedicated children's section has the most whimsical little door where you may catch grown-ups slipping through from time to time.... While you're there you may see one of the many shop dogs they have as well! Parnassus is very involved in the community. They host events like author talks and book clubs. They have lots of book signings too. Just a great spot!

I have been here in the past but came over the weekend with my kids. They have a cute kids section where you can sit and read books. The employees were all helpful, kind and patient with my young family. They were having a book reading event the night we were there that looked like it would be a fun time. It's a small locally owned bookstore and the prices reflect that. Not surprising for a small bookstore but it's very progressive. Something to note if bringing in kids.

I've been going for years and I've never been disappointed. He's very helpful. Maybe some people just have a bad attitude or they take him the wrong way and get their little fragile feelings hurt. Just disagree with his opinions if you don't like it and move on. Some people are way too judgemental, if you wanna spew your political opinions then open your own store. Anyway, he can drive a hard bargain for some books but he's often willing to come down on the price and make deals. I've never had a bad experience.

Not to be rude but if you're that too damn lazy to take the time to make sure you don't have it then Maybe just maybe you shouldn't own a business that requires taking the time for your customers. I took the time to call Nashville from upstate N.Y just to get someone on the phone who acted like he could give two shits if he found what I was looking for or not . I really want to thank this putz for his time and attention.

It is very small but that made it easier to look for things without being overwhelmed by too many shelves.

Good prices and friendly staff.

The Happy Book Stake is conveniently located and offers competitive pricing and resale potential compared to McKay, and it's faster. I went there to sell some books, games, and DVDs, and their offer was fair and generous. Like any other used media store, their selection heavily depends on what people bring in to sell and trade, but it's a decent selection for what they have. I would also love to see them participate in Free Comic Book Day.
