The place is beautiful and plays nice instrumental music in the background. Good selection of Christian books, about four bookshelves worth, and not just the pop stuff but nice antiquarian books at a good price. Nice leather couches and chairs for sitting in an enchanting children’s book section. A gem in our backyard.

So I collect antique books to love and repair. I found one that was published 1831 and I was very excited that it was now my oldest book. I shared my excitement with the owners and one of them stepped into the back and brought out a book published in *1784* that was in disrepair and gave it to me out of the kindness of his heart. It made me so happy and made my birthday absolutely amazing. They are so kind and genuinely wonderful humans. Will be going back there again.

Great selection in just about every genre you could dream. I bought two books here, and my wallet wasnt screaming at me after the purchase. The shop building itself is a thing to admire as well.Get a coffee next door and buy a book here. You wont regret it.

This is a lovely book store with wonderful selection of books! The atmosphere is everything a bookstore should be.

Place was beautiful and amazing. But had no access to the upstairs for the disabled. I had to content myself with staying out of the section I was most interested in since I could not get to it.

Love this store. They have new edition books as well as a plethora of older books. The prices are more than reasonable.

Just discovered this wonderful bookstore in Columbia, TN. Beautiful store, interesting decor, organized arrangement, reasonable prices and great service. Their inventory includes tee shirts, bookmarks, and other gift items. This is a destination in and of itself and if you love books, dont pass the Columbia exit on I65.

This is a wonderful bookstore. So well laid out. Beautiful inside. Good selection. Love this store!

Super cute bookstore. Very cozy and a decent selection of new and used books.

I love this Place! Its a great place to sit and read a book! plus theres peace and quiet!

Duck River Books is such a lovely little bookstore! I’m so happy to see a locally-owned bookstore still in existence. I wish I lived closer to this store, but I hope to be able to visit again soon!

Great book selection! Very knowledge! Awesome experience!

Cute little book store with great people!

Wonderfully decorated for the holidays. Such a quaint shop with a great selection. Go here for your holiday shopping! Go here after, too. Books are amazing and a great way to escape from the current events.

The quintessential local book shop. Great location, friendly staff and well stocked of both new releases, used and collectable books. Pretty decent comics section upstairs too!

Sweet book store and the staff is really nice and helpful

One of the most amazing bookstores I’ve ever been in! Enchanting & well-organized that is family run and warm and friendly service. When you’re in Columbia, you have to stop here & support this small business! ❤️

Love this little book store in the heart of Columbia. We just moved here from California and it was nice to find a neighborhood that had cute coffee shops and a book store that you spend hours in browsing. You can also place an order online and stop by to pick it up. Im a big believer in supporting small businesses so I highly recommend checking out this great bookstore!

Absolutely love this shop.

Fantastic shop with new and used books, fantastic decor and charming owners! Amazing conversation and watching them interact with other customers shows they really care about their community. Looking forward to visiting again.

Love this beautiful store.

This place is fantastic and the owners are wonderful. The first time I walked in I was absolutely delighted at the inviting atmosphere, the great selection, and the whimsical and creative details. Truly a gem in the historic downtown Columbia area that you don’t want to miss!!

Great place! Well drfinitely be back. They have a good selection of new and used books.

Its a really nice place with a great atmosphere but...I will always be partial to the old name and styling of the store: The Old Curiosity based on the Dickens novel. 3 stars for changing the best name ever! And 5 for a really good place to shop.

Great little book shop, lots of new and used books to select from. It has a very clean and inviting atmosphere.

Local bookstores are where its at! I love being able to go and find new and old books all in one place. The owners are super helpful and will order the books you need if they dont have them in stock! I highly recommend them!

Took the hubby in for an after dinner browse. I love the decor. I even braved the spiral staircase. We found a leather bound, gilded edged copy of the Hobbit-Awesome! Some of the used books seem a little pricey to me, but they are still cheaper than brand new.

The owners go out of their way to help with suggestions for great reads. Absolutely love how they promote local authors and have book signings

Excellent bookstore on the Columbia Town Square with a great selection of new/used books.

We always enjoy visiting. The owners are very welcoming, knowledgable and genuine. They offer many eclectic titles not found at other larger chains in the area.

Neat little bookstore on the square. Lots of new and used books. They have a cool kids section with lights strung above it that our little ones love. Go for a walk around the square and definitely stop in there.

Very nice bookstore. The decor is amazing and I could definitely find myself spending hours at a time here. Wonderful!

Love this book store. Ive found many fantastic books here! We will always come back to this place.

Lovely old bookstore with great mix of old and new books. The staff is happy to help you find something. Delightful addition to all the shops lining Columbias beautiful squuare.

The bookstore only caters to the area theyre in - primarily older conservative clients. When asked if they had any LGBT book selections, they declined, and they refused to order any books on the subject. This may be a great bookstore for a small community, but they do not support the growing LGBT community, and have repeatedly taken down truthful reviews. They will wine and dine the older conservative customers, and look down on anyone outside their own comfort zone - not a great business model to have in a growing community

One of the BEST LOCALLY OWNED bookstores in Maury County, Tennessee!!!!!!! Please take the time to visit this bookstore, as you will be AMAZED at the Variety and Selection of books offered. The customer service, atmosphere, and hometown pride are evident at The Old Curiosity Book Shop!!! Mr. Page Chamberlain is a Loyal Customer and HIGHLY RECOMMENDS that you take the time to shop and patronize this LOCAL BOOKSTORE!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing book store!

A great place to get a lot of old books. Many are used but a lot of great Classics and great reads

This place is great for all ages and all book lovers! I HIGHLY recommend that you stop by, even just to look.

Excellent choice of books and they will order it if they dont have it.

Looks to have a good selection of used books. The guy at the counter was not very friendly, though.

Great selection, and when they didnt have what I was looking for, they ordered it and I had it within a couple days!

Best used book store. Staff was very helpfull. Will return.

Lots of Fun, Lots of Variety, They even have comic books.

This Book Store is the main reason why I Love living in Columbia!

Good attention and kindness

Great book store for book worms of all ages!!!

So cute inside.

Lots of local history!
