    Great place for a glass of wine and finding great books, either for gifts or adding to my own collection.

    Have lots of books reasonably priced. I found a few of my favorite authors even PD James who wrote…read morebooks in the sixties. The staff were helpful.

    Adrenaline rush. Any bookstore does that. Sometimes it's a tiny bit of excitement, others is more…read morelike an overdose of sugar and caffeine. Book Lover's Warehouse is closer to the latter. It had the aroma of books -- old books, to be precise. It's in a nondescript strip center and is very ordinary looking from the outside. It has a warehouse feel. Walking in, I could tell it wasn't what I was expecting -- a warehouse -- but more of a treasure trove of books, vinyl, DVDs, comic books, sheet music, and a few miscellaneous antiques. I can't say I figured out how it was set up, certainly by section, but there were hardcovers and paperbacks of many genre scattered. Or at least it seemed that way. Each section was roughly sorted alphabetically by author, so that made searching easier. I didn't see a lot of duplication in titles. I had only a limited amount of time before they closed. It was a kid-in-a-candy-store moment; too much to explore and limited to what I could grab in the short window of time I had available. It wasn't nearly enough to do the exploring I wanted. But, with that said, I did manage to pick up a couple of titles I haven't seen by authors I have and that was a win for me. As with most used bookstores, the price is about half of the cover price, except for the first edition, rare books, or collectibles. It's a good place to try out a new author or series without the financial commitment of a new bookstore; or if you want to try your luck with the comic books or vinyl. There's a separate display case of Elvis recordings and memorabilia -- this is Tennessee, after all, and I'd expect nothing less. Just a fun store all around.

    The store gets a five star, because it's one of the few bookstores left in the city. And it's kind…read moreof pathetic actually. They have all kinds of stock, but not a lot of people in the store purchasing books. In all actuality, it is difficult to compete with online bookstores who have everything as soon as it comes out. Every book I've looked for, Books A Million can order, but they never have anything in stock. They have a great selection of magazines, and those are always up-to-date. And they have a wonderful coffee shop inside that has all sorts of delicious hot and cold drinks. But it's really not a place where you can go and sit and read a book or look through books. They do or did have an area where people would come and play dungeons and dragons and other games like that. That brings a whole different vibe into the store. Maybe they're trying to draw in the young people, which is a great idea, but it's a bookstore. What the heck are people playing dungeons and dragons in there for? If they engaged in the community more, I believe this bookstore would be in better shape. Having kids activities, book readings, story hours, book clubs, that type of thing would be A good idea to try to salvage what was once an amazing place to go on a Saturday when it was cold outside. I have hopes that we keep bookstores into the future, but walking into this one, it reminds me that they are soon extinct.

    Bought a couple items and asked for a bag, I was told that they don't have bags for purchases and I…read morewould have to buy one for $4.99. What if I bought 4 or 5 books and spent over a $100 and it's raining outdoors, my books would get wet or I would have to spent 5 bucks on one of their bags. This is unacceptable. I will never step foot in this store again, I will my books and supplies elsewhere.
