It's a ritual to hit a record store whenever I'm out of town. With Memphis being historically deep…read moreinto music, it was fitting to make sure to make it happen this trip. Shangri- La Records was up the street from where we had BBQ & as soon as we walked in, the records covered wall to wall. So much to choose from. There was a section with a setup of drums & a mic stand. Came to find out there was a jam session that ended right before we walked in. I really really enjoyed the Memphis sections, whether it was based off of a record label (like Stax) or an artist (like OV Wright). When I found the record I ended up buying, I instantly told myself that I was going to back as long as I'm ever in Memphis. 'B-Ball's Best Kept Secret' is super rare. NBA players produced + performed on the album. I thought I was trippin' because I always heard about it on podcasts & when I saw the tracklist I was like "OH SNAP!!". The individual who helped at the register (who might've been the manager/owner) was really nice & hooked us up with a sticker (I collect local stickers). Great experience as a first time visitor + consumer.

Great selection of trades and hardcover collected editions. Also picked up some sought after Green Lantern issues. Staff was super friendly and actually knowledgeable about comics (which is oddly hard to find lately). When asked about a specific book, staff immediately went to hunt it down for me. This is a high quality shop. One of the best I've visited (in the last 40 years).

Whether it's a local issue, local event, or local author -- you are likely to find it at Novel. *their signed book section! It makes me so happy to find so many unique and special books all in one spot. *their gifts! They've got art from regional artists -- prints, jewelry, local baked goods, etc. That is probably the section we buy most religiously from and we are never disappointed! The quality of these items is fantastic as well. They've got socks with witty saying on them and all kinds of book merch that I love and want to buy every bit of it! *I would be remiss if I did not specially point out their toy section is my kids FAVORITE part of the store. *author visits! LOVE! Getting to meet your favorite author and have a photo with them?! Nothing like it. We've never had a bad experience with the employees at Novel and while there are good deals to be found throughout the store you will likely pay closer to full price for items throughout the store.

The only takeaway away is that it could be a little cramped back there because of how much they have back there.
