I saw a $25 basket book sale shared on Facebook and had to come check it out. This spot was also…read morewithin walking distance of a coffee shop I'd been wanting to try.. so why not, right? THREE FLOORS. There are THREE floors worth of books. They are organized by topic, by author, by color and into little private nooks that I absolutely adore. I was here for over an hour just browsing and filling up my basket, but I could've definitely stayed longer. Definitely my new happy place. The gentleman working was also so kind in checking in periodically and asking if I needed any assistance.

I got an ad on Facebook and that was my reason for walking in and checking the store out. It…read moredefinitely is worth the trip because it's such a cute little shop and their prices are really great. I got a collectors edition, Black Beauty, for a lot less than Barnes & Noble carries (soft cover though). They have a relatively decent selection, but as a lot of it is used books it is difficult to find a specific author if they just don't have it. I was specifically looking for Terry Pratchett books, but I could not find any. The service was nice and helped us out the café in the back. Unfortunately, I ordered a hot chai latte and got a cold one which was still pretty tasty. Overall worth a visit

Ist time visitor. Been hearing about this place for a few years. Every time we drove past it on our…read moreroad trip down here to see my in-laws, my husband would make a point to point it out. Well this trip, our friends invited us to join them there. All my husband ever told me about McKay's was that it had books and records and he and this same friend would spend hours and hours and lots of money at their previous location. On the way over, my husband told me I'd probably see lots of things to buy. I seriously doubted him. Told him as much. So at first look I'm thinking "mom & pop, but bigger." I didn't grab a cart. "Ah! I aint buying nothing", I said to myself. I wander. All I see are stickers, and old electronics and I'm like, "Oh, a thrift store"...THEN I SEE IT... ALBUMS! And as if guided by an audiophilic angel, I immediately start filling the lower tier of my friend's shopping cart. Seriously underestimating this place, I eventually had to grab my own cart. I was a woman possessed by the power of the phongraph! I kept trying to force myself to put something, ANYTHING back. I tried but whatever I picked up ended up in the cart. I'd walked away from the albums. I thought I was done! Then I noticed the crates of 45's! BRUH! Within 15 seconds I was cradling 13 of them in my arms. THAT WAS THE FIRST CRATE! This was getting ridiculous. I had to stop. I refused to look thru a second crate. I turned to my husband for help... Surely he could snap me out of this spell... NOPE! He'd wandered off. When I found him he was waist-deep in his own mania. I knew hope was lost when he handed me an 8 track cassette tape! He wanted me to buy everything I'd chosen! I did the mental math. OH MY! OH MYMYMYMY! OK. We've got to be finished, then I noticed a book my friend had pulled. I immediately began lovingly accosting her, begging her to show me where she found this gem! Sadly, it was the only copy. HOWEVER... What she ended up doing was walking me over to Pandora herself, and me being the curious soul I am, took a sledgehammer to her infamous box, happily losing myself in the stacks. When the fog cleared, I had "somehow" acquired two math books and three political novels. In short order the lady on the loudspeaker warned us to bring our selections to the register as they were closing. They close at 10pm. TEN P.M.! WE GOT THERE AT 5:30! How da heck did 4 + hours fly by that fast? Was it a time slip? The Matrix?... THANOS?! All I know is that, here I sit, nearly 5 hrs later, $200 lighter, surrounded by 'all-of-the-things' and as happy as a pig in... Welp, you get the picture! Oh ya bet ya we'll be back!
