    So much character--the feel is truly unmatched. From the moment you walk in, it's warm and inviting, with a personality that makes it stand out right away. It's the kind of bookstore you want to take your time in, explore every corner, and keep coming back to.

    They have a fascinating amount of books, both new & old. It was really fun to explore. I highly recommend this store.

    Fabulous. Biggest and best used bookstore I've seen since the Strand in NYC. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Also some new books and gifts.

    Wonderful bookstore. Too many great things & not enough time. If you're within 100 miles, stop in!

    I love this place. I always walk out with a bag full of used books. Great service and the new lunch counter is a welcome addition.

    All proceeds benefit the Dekalb County Humane Society. Right there that's worth 5 stars for me, but…read morewait, there's more. Tails is located in a convenient spot downtown with good parking spaces all around it. It's easy to pop inside take a peek (or stay for an hour) and go shop at another store, like the Paper Gourmet about 20 feet away. Tails is open Monday-Friday 11:00am to 5:00pm and Saturday 10am-2:00pm. Real hours! Not bad for an all-volunteer business. They have a fairly wide selection (which means for any book lover it's hard to leave empty-handed). Lots of Scholastic books for kids. Some military history. Recent NY Times bestsellers, too. Many of the books are in new condition and so you can even do your Christmas shopping here. Some books definitely are not pristine, but that's okay. There are suggested donation prices posted (that even Amazon can't beat) and if you're feeling generous tell them to "keep the change" and know that the dogs and cats will really appreciate your generosity. If you're a bibliophile looking for a fun, friendly volunteer opportunity, this is it. Apply within. Do you have books you no longer want? Hard for some of us to believe, but if you need to re-home some of your literary friends then please consider donating them to Tails. I had been donating mine to the library, but now most of them go to Tails (sorry EPL). They will take books as well as magazines. Drop them off and enjoy the good feeling you get from sharing them with others. It does have one downside, for me. Given the recent renovation inside the building, the place off-gases like crazy. I'm hopeful that as time goes on it will resolve itself, but please use no VOC-paint and finish next time guys (who I realize are not affiliated with Tails, so let's not take it out on them). Overall, it's a cozy book nook that you can peacefully enjoy and even make new friends. The volunteers that I've met have all been sweet, kind, and very helpful. Auburn is blessed to have this spot open up. Oh, if only it stays here!!
