Defunct Books is a teensy bookstore in East Nashville. The prices are very reasonable, and I did…read moretake home some unexpected finds! The bookseller was friendly, and the jazz he was playing in the store made me want to buy even more books. This store is just too small! I felt like I couldn't move too much or I'd hit a pile of books which would fall over hitting another stack of books that would fall over etc. etc. Charming, tiny bookstore.

I love that the majority of their books are sorted by author and therefore very easy to navigate. There are a few fiction subsections but for the most part all fiction is placed together.

All my friends I was with were very happy with their findings as well. The only negative thing I could possibly say about this awesome place was the young guy with glasses that rang me up at cash register two. After setting my basket down and getting out my credit card, I realize he must be waiting for me to get the books out, so no problem, I'm not above that. He waits for me to get all my books out, scans them, and that's it. Doesn't give me a bag to put my all my books in, or even help put back in the basket. No words to indicate the interaction is over until I awkwardly realize it on my own. He was very off-putting. I will still be back because this place, otherwise, is amazing and I want to bring some family members and friends who I know will have fun too.

The daughter being done with her Master's program at Vanderbilt was looking for a place to…read moreoffload/sell her nursing textbooks. She found McKay's online and it seemed to be the best place to do that. Wow -- we were not prepared for the massiveness of this super, super busy place! Being our first time and not knowing how it all worked, it didn't take us long to figure out where to go and what to do. There wasn't much of a line when we started. We placed her books in a bin, then waited to be called by a greeter. Our greeter quickly explained the process, gave the daughter a claim ticket, then we waited. In the 40 minutes it took for her claim number to come up on the screen, we were able to walk through most of the sections and pick out a couple things to buy. I was quite surprised to find so many things beyond books -- DVDs, VHS, vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, clothing, Pokémon cards, instruments, game consoles, accessories, Legos, toys, comic books, etc. It was seriously amazing. My daughter decided to take her sale in trade which gave her about 50% more to spend. For the books they didn't buy she was given the option to take them back or donate them there. She chose to donate. The husband loves old movies, art and music -- he will absolutely enjoy McKay's. I can't wait to bring him here! The parking lot is as massive, so I don't think there's ever an issue with that.

A few years ago they took over the old church in East Nashville where they house their collection of wonders. As you enter the front door to the right, you'll find the box sets, limited editions and record day specials, both in vinyl and cds. The middle is predominantly vinyl and the left are the cds, both new and used. At the far end of the building where the altar would have been is now a stage where they sometimes showcase mini concerts, cd release parties, and book signings. Downstairs you'll find a good selection of books concerning music, be it country, rock, blues, folk or jazz. There's biographies history and style, again both new or used. Against the side wall there's a huge variety of jazz and classical. They give you a very fair trade-in value on used books, cds, and vinyls. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. If you've never been there, you owe it to yourself to go and spend a couple hours!

They also had a fun station set up to make handmade Valentines - so fun! There was a really nice selection of books, including all of the latest releases, and a variety of different genres. I asked a few questions and was given great recommendations. I'd definitely pop in again next time we're visiting the area!

The dedicated children's section has the most whimsical little door where you may catch grown-ups slipping through from time to time.... While you're there you may see one of the many shop dogs they have as well! Parnassus is very involved in the community. They host events like author talks and book clubs. They have lots of book signings too. Just a great spot!

Super cute bookstore in a great location. It's located in Green Hills right across from the mall…read more There is plenty of parking, restaurants and other stores in the area. I have been here in the past but came over the weekend with my kids. They have a cute kids section where you can sit and read books. The employees were all helpful, kind and patient with my young family. They were having a book reading event the night we were there that looked like it would be a fun time. It's a small locally owned bookstore and the prices reflect that. Not surprising for a small bookstore but it's very progressive. Something to note if bringing in kids.
