Whenever I'm in Macon, I make it a point to stop at Golden Bough. It's a cozy little book shop with…read morea selection whose quality belies its small size. The non-fiction is particularly high quality--and super-affordable to boot. I can get most books there from anywhere from three to twelve dollars, to include detailed academic books that would otherwise be very expensive. I want to emphasize again that it's also wonderfully cozy. It has a couple of cats who really add to the charm (as does the occasional presence of the owner's tiny daughter). Seriously, it's a wonderful place to just linger, to be nice to cats, and to buy books.

3.10.20: Independent book stores surviving & thriving! I was thrilled to pop into Macon's Gottwal's…read moreBooks right before they closed & totally blown away by their inventory: books of all genres as well as charming childrens' and gifts' sections. Their local authors section is extensive as well. And of course the sight of baptismal & choir robes in a book store? Intrigued me immensely. Huh?! Gottwal's merged with a local Christian bookstore so they just happen to carry all your religious paraphernalia... I inquired about their local author book presentations and they informed me that the woman in charge of that works at their original store in Warner Robins. Yay! That's where I grew up. I had no clue that the first Gottwal's originated there & is in the old C & S Bank building, of all places, b/c we used to use that bank, back in the day. A few days later, I trekked down to Warner Robins location to see what I could see. This location is two stories & is filled to the brim with all kinds of titles, games, gifts, etc. Thank you to Macon staff who provided me with comprehensive info even though I got there 15 minutes before closing! Rather than trying to rush me out, they were hospitable & kind, no doubt appreciating another bibliophile. I hope people continue patronizing local businesses, especially book stores, versus always ordering from Amazon out there. Local businesses create & support community & we need more of that, imo.

This is a great bookstore for children's books. Traditional folklore books, magical realism books,…read morefantasy books, wizard books, greek mythology books, chase a rabbit down a hole books, adventures books, chasing dragon books, sleuth books, fairy tales books, how to books, hobby books for children, modestly priced books and many different authors for expanding little minds. My highly literate and studious youngest daughter adores the children's book selections. Nice and friendly staff. Yes, they are very kind with the little children of middle earth...I mean, middle Georgia. And, thank you for the beautiful mural of books.

It's become a tradition that my sister and I visit here at least once a year when I'm in town. We…read morebrowse , buy too many books, and get a tasty beverage. The drink wait is long but there is only one barista and the drinks are pretty involved so it's understandable. I hesitate to call some of the coffee since my very favorite is the "FRAPPE that must not be named" (LOL) and it's straight up a chocolate milkshake with a shot of espresso. Hint: if you are caffeine intolerant like me, they can make it decaf!!! Now for the books...they truly have a wonderful selection. And I'm not sure who does their displays but they are very talented and funny. I really enjoy walking around and finding new books. Of course, my absolute favorite section is the bargain area...Such good deals! My sister is part of their millionaire club so when we go to check out, I let her buy mine as well (I venmo her :)) The last two times we've gone, the cashier has reminded us about the online coupons and help us naviagate their website to save us some money. VERY nice of them. This last time my sister and I got 3 books each for a little over $40! I was also very happy to see a lot of people in this store, we should all frequent brick and mortar stores more often. This whole shopping center is nice with lots of fun stores. Easy to spend the day shopping here.

They sell coffee, wine, and beer -- plus there's a cozy little bar in the back that's adorable. We also went upstairs and it was stunning!

If you trade-in your books you get store credit, and if you return a book you purchased at Gottwall's (the yellow sticker MUST stay on) you get 50% back as store credit! The location has a lot of safety precautions for COVID-19. All the staff wears masks, masks are required to enter, and there is a divider between you and the cashier. There are signs all over the bookstore to not touch your face after touching merchandise just in case! This is my favorite place to relax and find new books; I will always come back to support this small business!

Seriously the coolest bookstore I've been to in awhile! (You can peruse books in the old bank vault!) I bought some thank you cards (religious, 8 for cheap!), a new book, and a used book. I thought the used book prices were a bit high but every single one I saw was in excellent, like-new condition so I guess that's reasonable. And the new book I bought was on sale so I felt like I was getting a good deal there as well. I think you can park in the front and the back of the store. There is a stair case and an elevator. The staff was SUPER nice and very helpful. I very much enjoyed my experience here!

The store itself-they have an outstanding selection. Comparing having to drive another 30 minutes…read moreinto the city I'd rather drive ten from my apt and plop down here until they tell me to go home. The cafe-the coffee is terrible. Always bad. I've actually got Starbucks and brought it here. Ordered something from the sweets counter just so they won't throw me out. Their sweets are bearable. I've had better, but hey it's Henry county ppl and for a weeknight outing I'll take it. The customer service-I've never had inconsistent customer service here until Sunday night. Yesterday. I had been in late (20 min till close) and after the final announcement I took my books to register. I stood there with no one else in line and waited 5 minutes before anyone said anything even though there were 3 employees behind counter. The manager appeared to be closing a register. The girl that had been staring at me within that time finally said are you ready. Acting dumb like she hadn't seen me. She then said her register was close and pointed me to the manager who finally noticed I was there. Miraculously. He said his registered was closed and told me to go to the cafe. I would like to point out how they looked at me like why are you still here. Gtfa. Rude folks that night. Except for the girl in cafe who waited on me. She just seemed spaced out. In another world.

They also had more than four tables with discounted books ranging from $7.99 to $5.99 and $3.99. These were very popular books that came out this year, ranging from paperback to hardback. I must say I had a good ole time here!

I also love the overall vibe of the shop, it just feels cozy and like an old school bookstore of the 1990's.
