This is my new favourite book store!! I absolutely loved it here and I spent nearly 3 hours just wandering the stacks and amassing a collection of books to take home. The prices were wonderfully reasonable! I bought 22 books for $90 and they were all in such great condition! The staff were wonderfully helpful but didnt hover and the best part...they have kitties! 😍😍😍 The resident bookstore kitties were so sweet and friendly and happily received some pets. Their collection is extensive and I highly recommend taking a look! They also had comfy chairs all over the place. Seriously, worth checking out.

A must go for used book store nerds! I find the organization of the store is excellent. Prices are a bit higher than other competitors. New books are sprinkled in with the old/used. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable.The cats are fun. However, twice now I have brought home (to other cats) a book with cat urine damage. I really find that unacceptable. Please check your purchases before leaving the store. Don’t buy anything with *water* damage.

Love the large space. SO many rare and antique books. The staff is always warm and friendly. They have cats hanging out to keep you company while you look at their selection. you cant beat it

Great selection, larger than it looks due to the basement, three resident felines, and really reasonable prices. I will definitely be going back. This is an oasis in the craziness of Atlanta.

Went there today for the first time after having passed it many a time. The staff was very friendly and helpful! They have a very impressive collection of a wide range of books and its super interesting to see all the collectables! Also THE CATS!! They have three very friendly indoor ones and some outdoor ones they take good care of as well!! Would definitely recommend a visit. Prices were very fair and going back again for sure!

Cats! Books!Surprisingly this is a used bookstore with an emphasis more on vintage than the usual collections of paperbacks and old library books.Also, there are a lot of cats, which is pretty great.

One of my absolute favorite book stores of all time. Atlanta Vintage Books is a respite in an area that is changing very quickly. As a business, they provide quality books, a pleasant environment for sitting, and most importantly, a sense of community and connection.Walking into the book store-- which is absolutely packed with books-- is almost shocking. Its increasingly rare to find a brick and morter bookstore, let alone one that sells such a varied selection. Ive found books about subjects I didnt even know existed.I stocked up on my local Atlanta books before moving out of state, which has given me great comfort during the huge transition. It has really helped that I was able to buy books that cycled through the city: books that were marked up, and walked along the streets, and sat in the libraries. As someone who loves Atlanta deeply, its nice to take some of it with me.But moreso than just Atlanta Vintage Books important role in creating community: the people who work there are just legitimately nice people who care about what they do. Every time I shop there for books, I leave with a smile of my face.Despite how awful Atlanta traffic can get, I always find Atlanta Vintage Books worth the drive. If youre looking for the right bookstore to scrarch that itch: this is it.

This was my first visit to this Atlanta landmark and I wasn’t disappointed with the excellent selection of books and the ease of navigating the stacks. It was a delight to visit and interact with the store cats while I browsed. I wasn’t crazy about the store aroma, but overall it was a pleasant and satisfying book buying experience.

Great experience browsing books and petting the cats. Staff are all really friendly too!

This is absolutely my favorite vintage bookstore Im so thrilled that it is close by but before I move to this area I used to drive across town to come to it

THE SINGLE BEST BOOKSTORE IN ATL. THERE ARE CATS TOO. 10/10

I love the selection and layout! Great bookstore to get lost in. Great staff and prices too

They have books and cats ! What else do you need ? What an amazing little place ! So many vintage books great selection very good prices! And the cats are adorable! The owner is super sweet and nice. Consider stopping by and spend your money there instead of overpriced B&N ! Will be back with some treats next time !

The selection of Atlanta Vintage Books far surpassed my expectations, its a maze of books any lover of literature would be ecstatic to find themselves in. The staff is friendly and helpful, more than glad to assist you with any questions or concerns. A lovely bonus I did not anticipate in regards to my visit was the charming and friendly trio of felines who possibly reside in the shop; they certainly brought a smile to my face. The cat trees, houses, and beds outside are lovely, and I appreciate any shop or store who concern themselves with the welfare of animals in the surrounding area. Overall a great experience in a great store. I will absolutely return every time I find myself in the area.

Love this place! I recently freed up space around my home by trading in books for store credit, which I used to find an uncommon hardback book on poetry

One of the coolest used book stores Ive ever been in!! Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Reasonably priced books and some very nice vintage collectors pieces. Im excited to go back when I visit Atlanta again!My brothers 2 cents: the cats were adorable and the staff had more than 2 brain cells. Lmao, we both enjoyed our experience very much!

One of my favorite happy places in Chamblee/Brookhaven/Doraville. Always a great place to stop in and grab a great book you can’t find anywhere else, pet some cats, and a have a chat with the wonderful owners and employees!

That place had a vast range of books that my husband and I could choose from. My youngest daughter got her a few books also.

They had a great selection of used books, and the people were very friendly.

Its an independent bookstore with cats. What else do you need to hear?Seriously, though, after several visits, this place is just great. Diverse variety of books, fair prices, and every staff member (including the owners) Ive met is kind and attentive. Every time I come in, I can spend an hour+ browsing from the difference in the selection from my previous trip.

Very cool place...love all the kitties!

One of my favourite stops in Atlanta. Its rare to leave without a few hundred dollars worth of books. For those of you who might need wheelchairs, you might have some challenges though. As far as I can tell there is no elevator and there are two floors, but you can shop online!

This is my place. I can always find the books in looking for.

This bookstore is so lovely!! The staff are kind, there is an incredibly wide selection, and the cats are adorable. They also have some vintage items that arent often available elsewhere, such as magazines and yearbooks. Im fascinated by the 1950 Tulane yearbook that I bought and I will probably be back to buy more!

Great selection, cats running around, friendly staff. There was no noticeable odor that other reviewers mentioned. Loved my time here.

Lovely book store, lovely people, lovely cats. Reasonable prices. Selection is of course determined by what they can get their hands on. Great for browsing, especially when you have no idea what youre looking for.

Staff is so friendly and helpful. Selection of books is always good.

If you love books, this place is awesome with higher rarity books as well as cheaper paperbacks, if you also love cats, youre in heaven. Id however you are allergic to cats you may die, still worth the risk though

Great way to spend the afternoon. Thousands of books with a great variety with places to sit. Prices were good. Enjoyed the cats - friendly; like the staff. Will Difinately be back. Only thing they need is to offer latte. 😄

Great selection of books.

This is an independent bookstore that sells used books and some new. If you really love to read visit this store. The owners select books carefully and cover an incredible range of topics. Everything they have is interesting. This is a real bookstore that meets the needs of artistic, casual and serious readers; I would say thats very rare these days. They also have cute cats living there. The prices range from low (around $3.00) to high for rare antique books. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Its truly one of a kind. I would say its kind of an Autumn season bookstore if that makes any sense. They dont serve food or coffee, so unless you want cat food eat before you arrive. I love being there and always find books on niche topics.

Please come here if you are a fan of books (and like cats!)! It’s a cozy place with kinds of books for all audiences, both cheap and expensive! They also have magazines and newspapers which was cool. 10/10

Bob is always willing to take you around the store to find a book, or share some artifact, or point out safety measures to ensure the cats dont cause too much trouble.

If you love books youll love this place.

Great vintage book store. Plenty of books, great selection.

Very good variety of books, magazines and maps

Very cool bookstore! Great selection of genres with rarities and first editions abound; plus, the store cats are adorable.

My mecca. this place is epic.

Incredible selection and variety. I will be coming back.

So cool! It was an endless store of amazing finds. Well worth checking out to see this hidden gem. The only negative is there are several cats inside so if you are allergic to cats, take an antihistamine prior to going!

I am in Love! Could have spent the rest of the day there!

Their collection spans centuries and the staff has a plethora of knowledge.

Great variety of rare books

An adventure at every turn. Lots of fun.

Will be coming back for Boo the cat

Wonderful experience! Good people. Clean place. I will be back w more time !

The best bookstore in Atlanta.

Thanks to Mallory for helping me with my order. I emailed to ask about a few used titles and they were all bundled up ready for me when I arrived. I asked for an additional title when I got there and they helped me no problem. (COVID-RELATED) All staff were thoughtfully using masks, gloves, and disinfectant. Thank you, cant wait to read my new books!

A great place to buy books. Will plan on coming back to buy more

Looking for Gangs of New York book. They have it.

Books, cats, and not enough time to spent here. Wander around for a bit and see what you find.

#1 Bookstore in Atlanta. Hands down. 2 Thumbs fingers toe, whatever! Get here now!!!

Best cook store in Atlanta!

Best book store in Atlanta metro area. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Theres something for everyone there and its nice to read a book snuggled up with a cat. Ive done many hours of studying there in the past.

Great finds, some are a little over priced but they still have some hidden gems.

Love the diversity of books you find here!!!

Literally obsessed with this place. I want to hang out all day and just read in one of their dozens of comfy chairs and play with the cats. I found SO many great books (too many if you ask my boyfriend), and will 100% be back many more times. The staff were also so sweet and friendly. Love this place!!

Amazing selection of rare and obscure books and editions. Great staff. Also CATS

Great, meandering bookstore. Get lost here for an afternoon and find yourself some old gems.

I love this book store! They have an amazing selection of books you might not find anywhere else, the staff is wonderful, and they have cats!😀A very special and unique place. 😊😊

Overpriced! But good classic selection

The kind of bookstore that makes you feel like you’re in the beginning of a book yourself where you’re about to get sucked in an enchanted page. Great selection and very helpful staff. I highly recommend!

Awesome experience every time I visit! Mallory, George, and the cats are always welcoming and ready to help.

Our favorite bookstore for used and new books and for the household cats who wander around that you can possibly pet if and when the gorgeous cats please!There is a great selection of all kinds of books here. If you like reading, youll definitely like it here.

I love this place with all my heart. Theres just a sense of comfort as you walk in. The employees are interesting and full of knowledge. Its got books for anyone and everyone. Interesting sections around every corner.

My secret space

What a fantastic way to spend an hour or a few! The staff was amazing. Some really nice editions of the books you know and many obscure. What sets the store apart is the stories behind some of their collection. So refreshing to avoid the big box warehouse of commonality! Ask about the five cat challenge. I only got to three.

Great place staff are very helpful

One of the best book stores in Atlanta. Very eclectic collection of new and old books ranging from philosophy, poetry, science, history and many more. A good selection of vintage childrens books too. They told us today that they just acquired a huge selection of anthropology books. The staff is very warm and friendly. And, yes, they have rescued and saved cats and some even live in the store.

Great deals on books...also have rare and signed books.

Fun place to visit and browse and buy. The numerous cats and staff are comfortable to be around. Dont be surprised to be escorted by either throughout the many rooms and sections of the stacks. You can find most anything on any topic, and the selections are constantly being refreshed. Prices are marked on the first page of the book and seem appropriate.

My new local favorite. I was impressed by the set up at this place. They had couches and chairs (they were actually comfortable and not just cheap wood causing backpains) where are you can just sit down and read. The staff were very friendly and even gave me a discount since I selected a book that was on the shelf for a very long time.Will definitely be returning and visiting the five cats again!

Calling all nerds, eclectics, mystics and everyone in between. Great hangout spot/discovered the hidden secrets within spot lol. They gave a broad selection of really cool books and friendly staff. Every bookworms Delight.

This place is great. They have so many classic books and multiple editions of them. This isnt the place to find the latest work of fiction but rather a prized copy of your favorite classic novel or hard to find book. If you are a bibliophile then make sure you go in with a full pocket book and a lot of time.

Tons of books and the helpful staff know the titles well. Great if youre looking for something specific but also a good place to browse. Ive found a rare out of print book for a terrific price on more than one occasion! They have several friendly cats who walk around the store, but if youre not a cat person, just ignore the cats and theyll leave you alone.

Great selection of books and very friendly staff!

I have been going here for years I have never smelt any cat litter or urine so whoever said that is crazy stay home or go to Barnes & Noble. This book store is unique and wonderful the people that work there are a joy I love stopping in and saying hello sometimes I bring the Kitty cats some treats and some cat food its so nice to sit, read, hang out and look at all the wonderful books. They have VINTAGE BOOKS I BUY!! and the cats are hanging out with you its just a wonderful thing🐱🐱🐱🐱

Great collection of books... got 2 old ones on fly fishing....

I wanted to give this store a try, since I love to find vintage books or classics. To start its a large establishment so plenty to browse. I liked that they have many cats roaming around and enjoyed petting or playing with them. The only thing that put me off was the smell of cat urine in random rooms. I love that the owners are adopting or caring for homeless cats but please still be more hygienic, especially with rare books around.

Great bookstore! Friendly staff, who even wrapped my babys to be book. Loved this place.

Great place! Friendly staff, human and cat alike. So many great discoveries. Highly recommend. One of the best places in all of Atlanta.

This place is awesome. Its really hard not to spend money here. The vintage and autographed books are gawk worthy. Very reasonable prices. Sometimes we get a cat friend to help us shop

Quirky used book store with lots of gems on the shelves. Friendly owners, lots to see and explore. Worth the time spent.

Super unique, quaint book store.

This is heaven for book lovers !

Way better than Cats the movie, and with more books too. The basement is a treasure trove of wacky ephemera.

Awesome group of people working here, super friendly and helpful. They also care for local stray cats which is fantastic.

OMG I LOVE this bookstore! They have a bit of everything used books, along with first editions and collectibles. Great selection of deeply discounted books as well.

I discovered the store by accident even though I’ve driven by hundreds of times. It’s much larger than it appears from street level. There are so many words inside this building, you’ll never get to the end.

Helpful

This is a bona fide treasure chest of books and is quite likely the most comprehensive used bookstore in the Metro Atlanta area.There are a great many books in every imaginable category, with the added bonus that they are also very fairly priced.The staff is delightfully friendly and very helpful, and the various felines roaming around add to the ambiance.If you like books you owe it to yourself to visit this well-established purveyor of the written word.

Awesome book store. Great people working there. One of my favorite stores in Atlanta. Must visit if you love books!! Support small businesses 👍👍

This book store is great. It has a really wide variety of books that are available here. The staff are very friendly and willing to help you out with any kind of questions that you may have. There’s also a downstairs area here too that has even more books in it. If anything, it’s a cool historical place to come and visit.

I could easily forget to eat and drink and end up a skeleton in the basement of this place. A book lovers dream.

There are too few real bookstores around now of days, however, if AVB was the only one left life would still be worth living. I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat from nightmares where they have gone out of business which forces me to go to Barnes and Noble where everyone looks at me funny for bringing my cats. Apparently the fancy chain thinks they are too good for cats, its very strange....the dream that is, not the bookstore.

Awesome, quirky place. Friendly cats (dont go here if youre allergic). So glad a place like this can stay in business.

I absolutely love this bookstore. I feel like a kid in chucky cheese every time I go here. And if you look hard enough theres tons of hidden treasures all through out the store. The cats are adorable as well!!

If you are looking for a great old fashioned second hand bookstore you have to check this place out. Extensive collection, which is quite well organized. Even has the obligatory old-bookstore resident cat(s).

Amazing store! I could stay there all day! I am now the proud owner of a couple beautiful books from the early 1800s. Thank you!

I love this bookstore! Their selection is large and the cats add a lot of character and charm. And there are always really good finds if you take the time to look. They have a great radical section downstairs and their philosophy books include absolute gems. Combined with the friendliness of the staff and the excellent hours, this is my go-to bookstore. Sometimes I just go here to read, as they create a nice relaxing atmosphere, and the chairs are very comfy. No bookstore in the Atlanta area can hold a candle to this one when it comes to selection and friendliness. Im glad the spirit of the local, independent bookstore lives a little longer in this corner of Atlanta.
