Nice bookstore with large selection. Wish they had a reading nook somewhere for readers . Also, no one greeted me or asked me for help. This usually wouldn’t bother me if i wasn’t the only customer in the entire store πŸ˜…πŸ˜… .Felt invisible

Purchased from this store online after a bad experience with a big-box bookstore (who said a pre-order couldnt be fulfilled), and I am so glad I did. They had something in stock I couldnt get elsewhere and at a reasonable price. Also, the shipping was super fast and the book arrived way before the estimated date. I am very happy I came across this bookseller and that I was able to support an independent business!

Charming establishment with an extensive variety of books, especially used. Come back every week and youll find something new and exciting each time.

Im so happy to have found this delightful bookstore! My in-person visits have been terrific, and I was helped each time by excellent employees who were happy to discuss books with me. Certainly not something you see at the larger bookstores. The in-town delivery service is excellent, too. Order a few books online and have them at your door in a few hours!

First time in the store since COVID shutdowns, and it was such an amazing experience. The collection of used books always has something interesting and unique in store. I walked away with a book on printmaking, selected poems by Keats, and a survey on Buddhism. Excellent trip if I do say so myself.

Great, organized bookstore! I enjoy cooking and bought a flop. It was written by Ron Douglas... so disappointed in the recipes and ingredients.

I need to stress here that the 3 stars is NOT because they are closed for in person browsing. I completely understand, and encourage any business owner to do what they feel is right for their business and what makes them feel safe.That being said, I give it 3 stars because of the poor selection of books and the website is super clunky and difficult to navigate in my opinion. I do love the option to select what you want on the site and drive by to pick it up but it needs to be tweaked on the website end.I frequent used bookstores everywhere I go, and will return in the future for in person browsing (post plague). Hopefully I can change my rating to a 5 star one when that time comes!

I was able to place a special order via text message. I received prompt replies from staff and it took less than five minutes. They are also providing free local delivery to certain zip codes right now. Overall great experience. Will absolutely be buying more books from here! :)

Pros:- Friendly and helpful clerk- diverse selection of booksCons:- pretty smallI came here with a topic in mind, the housing segregation of the mid 20th century in America. After a bit of looking and help from the clerk, I found the exact book I wanted, staring right at me. I wanted to get something to eat around the area and the gentleman helped me and I had a terrific dinner and great beer. Great place, and its the only used book store in the area.

Best local book shop in Atlanta! Easy to access website. Limited parking but once youre inside its magic. The customer service is amazing, and with the current situation, they delivered my books to my doorstep across town with a personal note! Thanks for being awesome, A Capella!

This was the cutest little book shop! I loved the outdoor area! The artwork was amazing and they had a large selection of different books to browse. The books were extremely cheap and I was lucky enough to find the exact book I was looking for! Definitely worth a visit just to see how different this book shop is from others, especially if youre like me and enjoy book shopping! I could spend hours here!

My sister and I stopped at A Capella Books last week when I was visiting her in Atlanta. A very cozy shop with an excellent selection of current publications as well as classics. I was looking for a specific title which they did have. The young lady working the counter was extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely shop here again and you should too!!!

I have a gigantic measure of fun at A Cappella Books.I truly love books that is the reason book shops really intrigue me. Was not dumbfounded that I visited A Cappella Books.There are packs of books to examine here at A Cappella Books. A tremendous measure of portrayals moreover. Regardless of the way that the book that I was looking was not there, the proprietor said they will interface with me at whatever point the book arrive so that was consoling.The place was phenomenal. Decent and pleasing in the event that I may state. The books were superbly composed by sort that is the reason its not hard to scan for a book to investigate. The staffs were circumspect and inviting. I really regard that they offered to call me if the book I was chasing down arrived. They truly care for their clients.Will return to A Cappella Books once the book I search for arrived. Or on the other hand possibly on the off chance that I have unwinding time to check for another book. Outstandingly proposed.

Easily the best bookstore in town. Kind and knowledgeable staff will have you hooked to your perfect book after just a five minute conversation. Intimate, but properly stocked, A Cappella Books is the perfect independent book seller. And make sure to check out the back room!

Go here. This is an excellent shop (but only if you have decent literary taste). For the past 22 years I have always left it happy. Owe the Brit whos usually in there an enormous debt for introducing me to Dylan Howes album of Bowie covers, Subterraneans, which I will love forever.

Review β„–33

Although I love browsing book shops, I rarely go for anything more than discovering new reads. A cappella is awesome though because its used book prices are very reasonable and I found a lot of good finds for ~5 dollars each. Everyone who works here is super nice and it was a relaxing place to be.

Glad I stopped in. 1st time there and i was enclosed with books. Surprised by the collection of current titles. Staff was knowledgeable and resourceful. Impressed with their taste in music, I was also impressed by their ability to reach out into the market to grab obscure titles or book formats. My idea of a local bookstore. Ill be back. Giving it a 3 because it was my first time there. Ill be back.

I’m a huge fan of this place... really good prices on new cultural books, and used books of all sorts. Best features: A surprising selection of used comic trades and local cookbooks. Be sure to ask to visit the rare books room! Check out their membership options too, they’re a solid deal.

I came into the bookstore for the first time at its new location. I was concerned about the on street parking, but I was able to park easily, even on the mostly residential street. The clerk was very helpful and answered all my questions and gave me information about upcoming events. I was thoroughly pleased with the visit and I will definitely be going back as often as possible.

THE place to buy your books. Longtime ATLiens, the BEST selection of signed new books at no additional price. There’s just something about reading a copy the author has signed. The best if the new releases and used books to boot. Good people.

The cutest little bookstore in the Inman park area. Honestly a great place to go and browse both if you’re looking for something to do or someway to relax, or if you need to find a book for cheap! Great prices and often great and revolving selection. The shop is small, but that just adds to its Atlanta flavor. There is an extra inventory and extra room behind the checkout desk, so ask to see the extended inventory and explore the old books. Staff is usually very nice and the store is well organized. I love to come here.

The absolute worst experience in my hot sunny bookworm day. I race here after finishing up one book, and behold the clerk wouldn’t say hello, no assistance on the titles I have in mind at all. That’s unfair when trying to invest money to a local instead of big corporate bookstores.If its A race thing as to why I got no service that’s sad. Owner to owner none of this was cool.The store is physically cute... I came to read though.

Very cool book store that has somehow escaped the consolidation of small, independent bookstores. Beautiful relic of Inman Parks low-key past. Hope it stays around forever! Great place to spend an hour just looking at all the interesting books....

Review β„–63

I wanted to get a book and wanted to support a local bookstore. I thought I would just get it from somewhere local and probably have to spend a little bit more money for the book. I saw the size of Acapella Books and thought I may even have to order it and wait. I walk in and ask for the book and the girl working finds it and its used, in like new condition, and its cheaper than I would have gotten it on Amazon or even on my Kindle. I was amazed.The store is small in size but their selection is impressive. The store has a great feel to it and has so many great books. And the best part is that their prices are actually really reasonable!Acapella Books takes away absolutely any excuse anyone would have to not buy their books from a local bookstore.
