Not a huge selection of used cds and the new cds are marked up over-valued, same as the used vinyl. The used vinyl selection is atrocious. I would highly recommend nearby shops.. Wax N Facts, Criminal Records, Wuxtry.. I won't be going back here... Also parking is sketchy.

I've been shopping at Decatur CD & Vinyl for over two years and never had a bad experience until…read moretoday. I had heard things about the owner, Warren, but I always gave him the benefit of the doubt because I personally had only had good interactions with him. I've bought plenty of used and new CDs and records here and thought I was a regular. Lately, I've come in just to browse, which is normal for a record store. Today, about 15 minutes into looking around, Warren asked if I needed help. I said no, I was just browsing. Out of nowhere, he got cold and said the last few times I'd been there I didn't buy anything, then kept repeating that I never buy anything, which is completely untrue. I calmly told him I've spent plenty of money here before and that it's okay to look without buying, but he kept going on in front of other customers and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Eventually, I just walked out, shocked. It felt like I was talking to a completely different person. I genuinely thought I was a familiar customer and that he'd understand that sometimes people browse and sometimes they buy. Instead, I was treated like a burden. Maybe he was having a bad day, but that's not an excuse to take it out on customers, especially regulars. Honestly, maybe I would buy more CDs if he actually stocked more of them. I've seen him turn away people trying to sell CDs and decline them rudely, which hurts the selection. As another local record shop owner told me, Warren is just a "bitter old man", and after today, I believe it. As a warning to regulars and new customers, watch your back, because you never know when he'll turn on you. I won't be coming back, and I do not recommend this store.

Very nerdy vibe and you could spend forever browsing. It's nostalgic in there. The other reviews saying the place is kinda disorganized are correct. I didn't think it unsanitary, though. Probably a good place to hit if you're a geeky collector of something niche... but I'm not that cool, all I have is my CDs. Thanks guys!

My Review of the Book Crook: Waiting 48 Years to Leave This Google Review…read more On my 13th birthday decades ago, my parents opened a small new-and-used bookstore called The Book Trading Post here in the Atlanta area. They ran it successfully for 12 years. My father had connected with Alex, the owner of the original Book Nook on or near North Decatur/Clairmont, who promised a great variety of around 30,000 books. What arrived instead were massive duplicates -- 30 to 50 copies of the same titles. It was a horrible, upsetting experience that stayed with my father. At the time I was 13 and didn't really know what it all meant -- I just knew he was upset. My father passed in 1981 after chemotherapy and radiation at Emory. Recently, I brought in a large personal collection to the current Book Nook Decatur location -- over 130 albums plus many books, including rare 1940s-1960s sci-fi classics and a signed copy of Miracle in Atlanta. As a longtime collector of coins, books, comics, historic color brochures, and more, I knew the value easily exceeded $500, likely more. I first spoke with the manager on March 25th of this year. He gave a standard percentage quote and left a message. When I returned on March 27th to collect payment, I received just $70. They kept all the books -- which filled the entire counter on the right when you walk in -- and roughly half the albums. I left with two small suitcases. Walking around the store afterward, I saw their selling prices and realized they stand to make a substantial profit. I spoke with the manager (Doogie, like Doogie Howser from the 1980s show) and then with an employee named Scott, who has been there for years. I shared some of this backstory. Scott was pretend friendly and even suggested I didn't really need to write a bad review. That conversation left me feeling extremely uncomfortable, and that discomfort is exactly why I decided to write this review now. The owner is very old (likely in his late 80s or early 90s) and does not come into the store. I felt the manager was dishonest in the way the offer and process were handled. It all felt like history repeating itself in the worst way -- like a scene from Red Dawn: "Avenge me." In the end, I just took the money to be done with it. This isn't just about one low payout. Most people don't know the old story of The Book Trading Post and that first disappointing deal with the Book Nook. Now the full 48-year circle -- from my parents' store in the 1970s to today -- is part of the public record. If you have anything of real value (books, albums, collectibles), think carefully before bringing it here. Get your own realistic expectations and consider other options. P.S. For comedy purposes, I've officially renamed this place The Book Crook.

I didn't come here to shop; I came here to sell my collection of music CDs that I had collected…read morebetween 1982 and 1999. I hadn't even played a CD since about 2010, so it was finally the time to rid myself of the few hundred CDs that had been in storage for all of these years. Wuxtry Records is a quirky looking music store that looked like it specialized in selling used CDs and vinyl records. I had called the store asking one of the employees about them buying my CD collection, but he couldn't commit to anything until he saw the condition of the CDs and their genres. He explained that he would not buy CDs if they already had enough inventory for that title, but would consider buying rock CDs. I had a lot of those! Parking was easy on the weekday that I went, and I didn't have any trouble finding a space in the free parking lot that is shared by all of the retail stores in the shopping center. I brought in about 200 CDs to the front counter and was told to come back in about an hour while they went through all of the CDs and determined which ones they were going to buy. During my wait, I just browsed in the store. There were lots of CD titles and groups that I have never heard of, and lots of familiar ones too, and they all looked in great condition. And there was a lot of quirkiness! In the end, there were about 40 CDs that I was not able to sell to Wuxtry Records. This was fair to me and was a good experience. I didn't receive anywhere near the money that I spent to get these CDs, but my goal was to get something out of the CDs that I knew I wasn't every going to play again.

Anyway Daniel whom I spoke with was positive they could repair it. He sad he checked on line and was able to find hits for parts for it, so I went in dropped it off and left my deposit. After two weeks I had not heard from them, so I called for an update. Daniel appeared as if he did not no who I was and after describing my product he said oh yeah sorry I'm real busy here. So after a month goes by no call or updates I made the decision to pick my devise up, because they were obviously pushing me to the back or they just couldn't fix it, either way don't keep me waiting like your doing something when your doing nothing but wasting my time. When I went in to get it Daniel had taken off the four screws that held the back on and said it would take thirty mins to put it back on, I'm like why it took me five mins to take it off when I originally went to check out if it was a loose wire in the beginning so I know he was not telling the truth. I wanted my deposit back and he did not want to give it back. He said that the owner would contact me Via email to discuss the matter, not that he would call but that he would email. Real nice, very professional. Thank god I used American Express, I'll let them deal with it. Mean time please avoid these guys. There shop was very unorganized like one big messy closet of junk..

I love this little bookstore!…read more Well, there's nothing little about the space and endless opportunities to find literary greatness at this bookstore in the heart of Decatur. I've had the opportunity to visit Little Shop of Stories numerous times since I moved to Atlanta, but my visits totally hit differently now that I'm a mom. As someone raised by a teacher (with help from Reading Rainbow and Levar Burton), I've passed this onto my son although he can't read yet, lol. So we are always adding to his little library as he grows. Beyond books, Little Shop of Stories also carries so many fun educational toys for kids and books for readers of all ages. It's so easy to get lost in their large collections, but luckily they keep it incredibly organized and make it easy to find whatever your imagination can dream of. After finding a few goodies to take home to my little one, I strolled around the store a bit more and took in the whimsical vibes. Just being in there lifted my mood! Seriously a wonderful place to transport yourself into the magical world of books and discovery, no matter your age.

I'm so happy that not only does Little Shop of Stories continue to survive, but it is unequivocally THRIVING. in a word of online shopping and digital interaction, this community cornerstone understands that they can achieve a unique experience by simply continuing to do what they've always done, and continue to do it proudly! If you haven't been in a while, it's worth a revisit because as of this past fall (2025) they've revamped the interior. It is truly incredible. Stop in as an adult for coffee with or without a child!
