Atlanta Vintage Books — Local services in Brookhaven

One of my absolute favorite book stores of all time. Atlanta Vintage Books is a respite in an area that is changing very quickly. As a business, they provide quality books, a pleasant environment for sitting, and most importantly, a sense of community and connection.

Walking into the book store-- which is absolutely packed with books-- is almost shocking. It's increasingly rare to find a brick and morter bookstore, let alone one that sells such a varied selection. I've found books about subjects I didn't even know existed.

I stocked up on my local Atlanta books before moving out of state, which has given me great comfort during the huge transition. It has really helped that I was able to buy books that cycled through the city: books that were marked up, and walked along the streets, and sat in the libraries. As someone who loves Atlanta deeply, it's nice to take some of it with me.

But moreso than just Atlanta Vintage Book's important role in creating community: the people who work there are just legitimately nice people who care about what they do. Every time I shop there for books, I leave with a smile of my face.

Despite how awful Atlanta traffic can get, I always find Atlanta Vintage Books worth the drive. If you're looking for the right bookstore to scrarch that...

I have heard of this place many times and decided to stop for the first time by on the way back from a dental appointment. This bookstore has every bit of character you may think and then some. The staff are so kind and friendly and you can tell that they are friends amongst themselves and the frequent customers. I picked up a few vintage children’s books and was told the story of each cat and their personalities and learned some new thigs about books and authors during my brief chat with one of the owners. I wish I could have stayed and talked to him all day! I love this store and I am not exactly a cat person. I am also not a collector and I struggle to find the time to read (being a mother to 2 kids under 3) Nonetheless, I cannot wait to be back! And when my littles are old enough to appreciate it, I will bring them with me. :) These types of bookstores are getting few and far between and I am so happy to have...

This is an independent bookstore that sells used books and some new. If you really love to read visit this store. The owners select books carefully and cover an incredible range of topics. Everything they have is interesting. This is a real bookstore that meets the needs of artistic, casual and serious readers; I would say that's very rare these days. They also have cute cats living there. The prices range from low (around $3.00) to high for rare antique books. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. It's truly one of a kind. I would say it's kind of an Autumn season bookstore if that makes any sense. They don't serve food or coffee, so unless you want cat food eat before you arrive. I love being there and always find books on niche topics. Update! This is still my favorote bookstore four...
