The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly. If you're looking for a break from the big-box stores, this is a good spot to browse for your next read.

I have been coming here for about a year now. The store has a very cozy feel to it, and has a lot…read morein it for such a small space. It is very well curated and reflects the value of our community. The history and current events section is particularly impressive, and often has books that are not readily available elsewhere. Every time I go I manage to find something. The phrase "I cant believe they have this!" goes through my head frequently when shopping here. The staff is friendly and very book knowlegeable, and is able to make recommendations tailored to patron's specific interests. It is truly a book lovers bookshop. Athenians looking for a great read or unique gift item are sure to find something here!

I wander into the store which is playing the Beach Boys' "Don't Back Down", a song I've heard a zillion times, though this version ends with a verse I've never heard before. A gentleman, obviously a regular, wanders in and starts going into full detail about a 1970s Elvis bootleg he's just listened to, comparing it to similar bootlegs of the era. I grab a Sun Ra album and chat about the new Neil Young "Tonight's The Night" live reissue. I walk back out into the sunny Sunday afternoon with some great new music. This is about as good as it gets. Don't assume from some of those legacy names that this is some golden-oldies shop. Lots of good, weird stuff found here too. The employees here know their proverbial onions and are just at home talking about Japanese noise bands as they are, um, 1970s Elvis bootlegs. They're friendly folks too - if you're buying something cool they're going to talk to you about it. I don't live in Athens but I've shopped here sporadically for a good 20+ years. This is one of a handful of places that just _is_ Athens to me. You can always trust a Beefheart reference!

Spent a day in Athens while on a roadtrip recently and as always, I have to check out a local…read morerecord shop. Low Yo Yo is a brief walk away from the historic 40 Watt Club and near plenty of dining and drinking choices. While a relatively small store, it's packed wall to wall with a lot of records! I was particularly impressed by the great selection of catalogue titles they have--I always have a running list of records I'm looking for and often these are not present in my local shops. Many, if not most, of what I looked for WAS present here. Often a new title, shrinkwrapped and priced accordingly--but fairly/within market range. They did have some original pressings and used items, but overall their used items seem to be vastly outranked by their new items. However, I can't quite be sure of that as beyond the row of newly arrived used items all others are filed with their new counterparts. I like the overall organization of this store--by genre, by artist, and often within an artist's section all of the solo and sideprojects of a group are present and accounted for. There's also a pretty sweet local artists section (including REM) near the register. Friendly service, cool shop, would definitely make this a regular stop if I lived in the area.

It's as big as a small department store and carries sweaters, jackets, shirts, pants, hats and more, all in the famous red and black of the University of Georgia. Sadly, only ONE postcard. I wanted something "in your face" to send to some of my Florida Gator buddies but all they had was an oversize postcard of the famous USA Arch. Oh, well. Prices looked to be retail or higher. There aren't much for bargains here. They also have some snacks and drinks. [Review 227 of 2025 - 796 in Georgia - 23791 overall]

Most B&N stores have a similar layout with a coffee shop in one corner. Good location for finding gifts for bookworms, bibliophiles, lectiophiles, and kids.

I understand that sometimes you are busy at the store, but if your employer had an accurate online inventory of what you have in stock, I wouldn't need to call you for availability. I am the customer; I'm just trying to buy something and not bothering you during the day. Take it out on the real problem, not me. I have also had bad experiences in person, where reps are having conversations with other co-workers and completely ignore me as the customer while I am standing in the front of the line. This place is a hit or a miss with customer service.

I definitely agree with what people have been saying--this place is a dusty, haphazard place to…read morelook for comics. But that's where I think it shines: browsing. Due to the haphazard nature of organization, it might not be the place for someone just coming here to check stuff out, but if you have no idea what you want, and you're just shuffling through things, then you may like this place. I, like many others, enjoy checking out comic book stores in other cities and states. Frankly, I live in a city with a bunch of great comic book shops, so I'm not hurting for quality or variety in terms of what I read. Also, I'm more of a graphic novel person, and I like to collect interesting graphic novels I find in places to the point where I have a pretty legitimate collection, of which I've probably only read about half. Whoops. I saw a couple of things that tickled my fancy, but they weren't priced, but I don't like interacting with people so I didn't feel like asking what the pricing would have been for them. Needless to say, I left without anything, but I would come back and randomly browse if I'm in the area again and had some time to kill.
