Plenty Book Shop is one of those places that feels special the moment you walk through the door…read more Of course, the book selection is wonderful, but what I love most is that the entire shop feels thoughtfully curated. Every section seems to have its own personality. There's one area that always makes me think of what I imagine Jane Austen's library might have felt like -- cozy, beautiful, timeless and just a little magical. Then there's the children's section, complete with an incredible rolling library ladder that makes the whole space feel like something out of a storybook. And it goes far beyond books. They have such a great selection of unique gifts, beautifully curated items and little treasures that make it an easy place to find something for someone else -- or, very realistically, something you suddenly decide you need for yourself. They're also constantly finding creative ways to make reading fun and build a community around books. They offer book challenges, Books of the Month, events, writers' workshops and other programs that make Plenty feel like much more than a store. It feels like a gathering place for people who genuinely love books, creativity and storytelling. One of the things that makes Plenty especially meaningful is its commitment to children's literacy and the nonprofit work connected to that mission. Knowing that there is a bigger purpose behind what they're building makes an already wonderful place even more special. There are bookstores where you stop in, find a book and leave. Plenty is the kind of bookstore you want to wander through, discover something unexpected, stay awhile and come back to see what they've dreamed up next. It is charming, creative, welcoming and completely unique -- easily one of my favorite bookstores.

The owner, Jeremiah, was the nicest guy - he greeted us immediately and asked if we needed help. He made awesome deals on everything. It's the most modest and fair pricing on any vintage games I've gotten in years. He's a collector looking to help out true fellow collectors. A guy like that and a place like this are one in a thousand these days where every game store seemingly in business is just looking to give you bottom dollar to flip it for top dollar. Passing through from Nashville to Knoxville, this was the best stop on my entire trip, and officially my new favorite game store. I will make a special trip just to come back here. There is also a barcade attached, but I didn't have time to stop and enjoy that. Just another reason to return! Parking was easy, and the place is easy to find. Five stars 10/10 A+ will shop again and again! Also, if you have any old TurboGrafx games to get rid of, BRING THEM HERE!!!

Thank goodness it was sunny, 65 degrees and breezy. It made this festival very pleasant to visit. Artists had everything from pottery to blacksmith crafts displayed. Students from TTU were in the various classrooms demonstrating what they are trying to get their degrees in at the University (www.tntech.edu/craftcenter). In a state park that offers boating, lodging, hiking, fishing and various other things to do, the Appalachian Center for Crafts is a nice break of the beaten path. The location sits upon a ridge that overlooks the Caney Fork River. And if you're hungry, the Redbud Cafe is open Mon-Fri 8:00-2:00. Bathrooms, art gallery and gift shop are all available.

But, that being said, they are more than just a comic store.

I didn't make any purchases and can't speak to price, so you'd have to check that out yourself.
