The Book Tavern — Local services in Augusta

I always have such a wonderful time here! The staff is consistently kind and happy to assist. They were so welcoming to me bringing my sweet dog in for a visit (leashed of course!) - I really can't thank them enough for this, she had a great day!

I think there's a really wonderful selection of books, and I especially appreciate the featured books at the front of the store. I have found several new releases here before they were even stocked at B&N.

The store is very cozy, definitely introvert friendly, they keep it nice and cool during these hot GA summers, and offer very comfy oversized chairs.

I personally don't have a problem with the prices. I know some other reviews have mentioned that it's more expensive than Amazon - let's remember Amazon does that on purpose to create a monopoly. Support your local bookstores before all we have left is Amazon.

Anyway, always grateful for an...

Wow! Stepping into this enchanting bookstore felt like being frozen in time. It’s an incredibly beautiful, tidy, and well-organized space that I simply adored. Here are some highlights:

A charming picture frame reads, “Between the pages of a book, is a lovely place to be.” 😇

A quirky lab pin proclaims, “Buy forbidden books.” 😂

The staff, Ashley and Hanna, were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. I witnessed Ashley assisting a customer in search of a specific book, effortlessly showcasing her expertise with authority and grace—she spoke like a true librarian! She treated me with the same professionalism and warmth, making the experience truly memorable.

This bookstore is the perfect haven for book lovers, inviting you to linger for hours. Plus, they offer delightful drinks and exquisite chocolates. I couldn’t resist trying the Dark Chocolate with berries and ginger—pure deliciousness! 🥰😋

I even bought the lab pin, “Read Forbidden Books,” just for fun to share with friends. After all, there’s still a bit of that mischievous boy inside me! 🫢🫣🙆‍♂️😂🤷‍♂️😇

¡Wow! Entrar en esta encantadora librería fue como congelarse en el tiempo. Es un espacio increíblemente hermoso, ordenado y bien organizado que simplemente adoré. Aquí hay algunos aspectos destacados:

Un encantador marco dice: “Entre las páginas de un libro, hay un lugar encantador para estar.” 😇

Un pin de solapa curioso proclama: “Compra libros prohibidos.” 😂

El personal, Ashley y Hanna, fue excepcionalmente amable y conocedor. Vi a Ashley ayudando a una clienta en busca de un libro específico, mostrando sin esfuerzo su experiencia con autoridad y gracia—habló como una verdadera bibliotecaria. ¡Me trató con el misma profesionalidad y calidez, haciendo que la experiencia fuera verdaderamente memorable!

Esta librería es el refugio perfecto para los amantes de los libros, invitándote a quedarte horas. Además, ofrecen deliciosas bebidas y chocolates exquisitos. No pude resistir la tentación de probar el chocolate negro con berries y jengibre—¡pura delicia! 🥰😋

Incluso compré el pin de laboratorio, “Lee libros prohibidos”, solo por diversión para compartir con amigos. Después de todo, ¡aún hay un poco de ese niño travieso dentro de mí! 🫢🫣🙆‍♂️😂🤷‍♂️😇

FHP ASTRO...

I don't use the term "Hidden Treasure" often, but this little book shop was truly a nice surprise for my whole family. If you're a book worm, or even just a curious book window shopper, this place should definitely be on your list.

I was most surprised to find the most obscure, little old books (some 200 years old) in great condition and available for your curious perusals. You're literally holding history in your hands. I will definitely be stopping in again looking for more little, hidden treasures.
