Good news for Knoxville's book lovers. . .the Book Eddy has opened a small retail space on North…read moreBroadway, near Lost and Found Records. The even better news is that they have lots and lots of their traditional eclectic merchandise. . .at reasonable prices, and the new retail space is comfortable, attractive, and owner John Coleman is a delight to talk books (or other subjects) with. I picked up a first edition of a delightful baseball novel on his recommendation and I can't wait to begin it. My son picked up a nice tight paperback of A Catcher in the Wry (couldn't convince him to choose The Catcher Was a Spy instead, sadly). We were both absolutely thrilled to see The Book Eddy back in operation in Knoxville proper!

The Book Eddy is back in a new location!

Kind of perfect, really. The store isn't large, but it has interesting, beautiful books. Check it out!

We always enjoy stopping in when we are in Knoxville. The selection is interesting and varied with…read morenew books arriving all the time. This shop is more of a collector's paradise than a modern bookshop which sets it apart. You are sure to find a special gift for the bibliophile or a tomb worthy of a permanent spot on your shelf. The staff are friendly and engaging, very easy going. There is no intimidation and you are welcomed to look around and pull books. Children are also welcomed and there are books downstairs for them. Plenty of seating and a comfortable atmosphere. There is a conference room downstairs which may be for rent. It would be a very cool place to meet. Must check out this shop when you are in the area. The books are priced fairly and meet a wide range of budgets.

I did end up buying a book for my son from an old whaler story (not moby dick lol). Some Americans saved some Irish political prisoners held in Australia by the British. Good story. And my comedian husband was trying to be serious reading a news paper about separation of church and state from Ben franklins time and the type setting had f instead of s (on purpose). So of course he read it out loud to me with the wrong f's and we laughed for about 5 minutes straight. They had good tea at the store too. Great atmosphere and cozy. Newer books available down stairs. We read for about an hour. Was fun & we highly recommend the place.

Our GPS got us there - there were also signs pointing to where to go! I'm not quite sure where to start as we had an AMAZING experience at Firefly! There is no set class times or anything - it's just come as you can/when you can. The studio was smaller than I had expected, but that's ok. It was perfect! There were 4 other people inside when we got there and we had enough spaces without us being on top of each other. Originally, we were going to do just 1 piece each. But we all had so much fun and it went much quicker than we had thought, that we ended up doing 2 pieces each! The options were a 5x5 tray ($40), a 3x3 ring tray ($22), a funny face magnet ($18), a hangy thing (a sun catcher type thing - $20), or a pendant ($20). The prices include the shipping. Nancy, the owner, fires everything up in her kiln to put it together and then sends it to you. I cannot wait to get our pieces back in the mail. We picked our pieces and started working on them. When you figure out what you want, you use a bit of Elmer's glue to lightly glue it in place. It was so fun trying to decide what to do and to let the creative juices flow! I HIGHLY recommend visiting Firefly Glads Studio when you're in the Gatlinburg area. Nancy, the owner, was amazing to work with and super sweet!
