    Cool used bookstore in Nashville! This is a chain but this is the only location in Tennessee. We stopped by here for the 1st time yesterday and I was surprised with how big it is! They have a huge selection of used and new books for everyone age and genre along with puzzles, games, cards, gifts, cd, dvds, and records! They also have a buying desk in the back where you can sell your used books. True to their "half price" books name the books can still be quite pricey for used, since they go off the publishers price and hardback were still around $10-13. But they did have a nice clearance section and a few sale display tables in the front and outside too. They also have coloring sheets in the kids section along with free pencils and bookmarks that my daughters liked. If you signed up for email alerts you can also get coupons! Very cool book store with a great inventory. I recommend any book lover check them out! P.S. they are dog friendly!

    This place is amazing! Like a smaller and organized version of McKay's. And they allow well behaved dogs to walk around the store with you!

    Books!

    Nice store. Not as overwhelming as McKay's but in many ways that's a good thing. A pleasant shopping experience.

    It's about a third of the size of McKay's which also makes it much less overwhelming.

    I likely would've purchased some vinyl if I wasn't traveling as they have a killer selection! Love…read morethe shirt designs and picked up one!

    This is a record store / gift store / studio owned by Jack White of the White Stripes and others…read more They offer tours of the studio, but they don't let you take your phone or camera with you during the studio tour. So I don't have any photos of the studio and offices, which is a bummer because there are so many neat things to see. I definitely recommend doing the tour, though! Our tour guide was Ben Blackwell, who is an executive at Third Man, a musician, and oh, Jack White's cousin! He's a cool cat and told us lots of stories about the people who have recorded at Third Man, and the things that have gone down. If you have a chance to get Ben as your tour guide, you will be in for a treat. The tour itself was a little under an hour. The Third Man shop is where you CAN take photos, and it's a good thing because there are also lots of interesting things to see in the shop, like White Stripes paraphernalia, a record listening booth, a Wax-o-Matic machine where you can make your own red wax guitar figurine, an area to play guitars, almost every record you can imagine on the Third Man record label, Maggot Brain magazine (which is published by Third Man Records), clothing, posters and lots more. If you're a White Stripes, Raconteurs or Jack White fan, you definitely need to stop in. It's so neat to be in a studio where all kinds of musical magic happens! And even if you're not, you might become a fan just by visiting.

    If you love this place, then you totally understand the hype to it however, if you're like me and…read moreyou were introduced to this from another person who absolutely adores it, but you don't care for places like this you find it confusing. So this is a massive bookstore, music store, video store, toy store that specializes in buying used items and reselling them. So if you have an aversion to musty dirty used items, this is not your place. Which I happen to have. However, this is not McKay's fault. It is a great place to offload things you don't need and get a little cash on the side. I have a touch of sensory bias, which is why it's difficult for me to enjoy it. But I totally understand why others do. If you are planning on selling stuff, make sure you get there early. If not, when they open there will be a line not of people wanting to sell stuff just people wanting to get in there to check out anything new that came in the night before. It is always busy so do not expect to come and it not be packed. If that is an issue for you probably not your place. But a big plus is the parking lot is absolutely massive. You will find a parking spot regardless of how busy it is. And to that I give it five stars.

    I was so excited to get back to McKay's for the first time in years. I was completely taken aback…read moreby the prices of books here now. Many books I found were overpriced for used books. There's no pricing system based on book condition, which would be nice. You may find a book in fair condition and pay the same amount for the same book in excellent condition. Customer service was great as always.
