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! It's right between Mid Mod Collective and Wild Love…read moreBakehouse (you can actually enter The Book Eddy from Mid Mod Collective when they're both open), so you can shop for books at The Book Eddy and then furniture/tchotchkes/art/vinyl at Mid Mod and then grab a pastry and a coffee (or read your new book) at Wild Love. Kind of perfect, really. The store isn't large, but it has interesting, beautiful books. Check it out!

Great prices for brand new books! My daughter bought lots of kids books for a great deal.read more

We were stopping next door at Dollar Tree for classroom party favors and decided to pop into BAM!…read more(Yes, that's the acronym they use, along with the super cool exclamation point). I told my son, "Let's get a gift card for your teacher quick and then we'll be out of here." 45 minutes later, I responded to my child in only grunts, as my attention was sucked in by the clearance kid section, discounted Christmas cards, and of course, the large selection of stocking stuffer-esque gifts near the registers. So many fun things to be seen and read in this store. I mistakenly thought this was a used book store, but it is moreso like a Barnes and Noble with an arguably better selection and pricing. I was a bit bummed that they don't have a free reward program, but instead a paid annual membership program that offers discounts and coupons. I may have considered joining this, but we are mostly a library family, so it wouldn't be worth the cost for us. I will be back and can't wait to explore by myself sometime soon. I think I could spend hours here.

Out on a day date downtown and wanted to stop at a new-to-me bookstore within a short drive. Bear…read moreDen (punny and fabulous name) is in such a gorgeous, historic area of town. It is also perfectly situated a few doors down from Treetop Coffee Shop. Not only does Bear Den allow coffee in the shop, but said they encourage the combo. It is a somewhat small shop with ample space between aisles, perfectly sorted and organized genre sections and a few cozy reading chairs throughout. I especially liked the staff picks area and the local Knoxville shelf. Co-owner, Taylor, was welcoming, friendly, and gave great book recommendations. I loved hearing more about their biz journey. Bear Den frequently hosts authors who will do readings, activities, etc. and they host other adventures for the local community, which Taylor says has embraced them with open arms. He also mentioned that you can request books to them for purchase if there's something you've been eyeing that they don't yet have in-store. We walked out with one book for our kids that quickly has become the house favorite (Don't Hug Doug: (He Doesn't Like It)) and perfectly describes our youngest child. Can't wait to stop back in for more book treasures. Highly recommend, y'all!

First learned of Southland as part of the 2023 Vegan Chef Challenge, however their items were not…read morelisted as gluten free (sandwiches), so we didn't come here. Decided to try this year for the vegan chef challenge just to see if there might be something I could eat or maybe I'd be wild and ask for the sandwich without the bread. Imagine my SHOCK when I saw gluten free bread on the regular vegan menu and asked if the GF bread was also vegan!! (Spoiler alert: it IS!) This now opens up a world of options, and more reasons to come back regularly. They have an EXTENSIVE vegan menu, and both soups offered the day I was there were vegan. The cashier told us there's a pub downstairs, with different vegan menu items. It's attached to a bookstore and has a homey, comfy feel. It's the kind of place you feel you could hang out in all day and no one would complain. The cashier was BEYOND helpful and friendly and made several recommendations for things to try in the future. The only bad thing is I wasted a year not trying this place. I'll need to make up for that!

Sellers: Just be advised that before you bring anything in make sure you're willing to part with…read morethings for very very very very low prices. I had a few books that I could've sold online for 20 bucks or more and I literally got $1.13 for them and some items I didn't get anything for my items and they took them anyways and on the paper I requested it shows zero cash value. If that's the case then they should give our items back and not just automatically tag them to put out on the floor. They need to rethink their system. If they want to buy an item they need to set it aside and give us a list of hay we buy these items for this amount are you OK with it . Not just assume hey yeah we can go ahead and take this item they don't care and we give them zero for it or $.19 trade-in value. I also mentioned when I got there whatever you guys don't buy from me I'll just take back. They did have some items, most of my items since I brought three bins of movies and video games and books that they did not want. I guess they assumed I didn't want them I said yes I want them back. I asked for a printout of what I sold so I can remove them from online if I had them posted. The guy said oh we don't do that. I said you don't keep track of what you're purchasing from me? He said oh yeah OK and printed out this list and I wish I would've actually looked at it and realized a lot of items they took I got zero for they just took for free. I was not donating items to them nor did I say I was gonna donate items to them. I did buy $30 worth of stuff here (3stuffed animals and a book). I could've got $31 in cash or $70 store credit so I used $30 store credit and got $20 cash back. So I was really hoping for a lot more because I had hundreds of DVDs I just didn't want to take the time to post them online because it's time consuming. But it's just really disappointing only getting literally nothing snd them taking my items and some items maybe a dollar if Im lucky. When I got home realized when I went through the list that they took my Xbox 360 games and movies I literally got nothing for them that kind of pisses me off because I was trying to make money and some of these were worth a decent amount. One of the NEW Xbox games online is worth $25 and they literally just took it and gave me nothing for it . So I definitely will not be selling to them ever again. If they weren't gonna give me any money for my items then they should be giving them back to me.
