Johns Creek Books — Local services in Johns Creek

They have an amazing selection and friendly staff!

I’m always on the lookout for independent bookstores and this one does not disappoint! I spent what ended up being a little over 2 hours browsing the store yesterday and still feel like I missed a section or two!

Every time I visit is a new experience because they are frequently changing the displays and featured books to keep things fresh. I most love their horror section. It’s larger than a lot of other bookstores I visit (some don’t even have one!).

They also have these little notes on some books with a review or fun fact about them. It adds a little extra fun to see them while browsing.

The only complaint I would have is that their used book prices are slightly higher than a couple other used bookstores I’ve been to. However, it’s not a crazy big difference and their used books are always in great condition. I’d also rather spend that money with an independent bookstore than a soulless corporation like Barnes and Noble or Amazon.

They also offer trading in your books to get credit towards the used books. I’ve never taken advantage of this (because I’m a book dragon and just hoard them), but it’s great that it’s an option!

The staff was friendly, engaging, and patient as I meandered my way around their store up until 1 minute before they closed (even still, they didn’t even try to rush me, I just happened to see the time on my phone and realized they were probably waiting on me 🤦🏻‍♀️).

I’ll definitely be visiting again when I find the space to add on...

I had the pleasure of visiting Johns Creek Books & Gifts today and it was a real TREAT. This incredibly cute bookshop is OPEN - you can shop inside with a mask on, or do curbside pickup. They also have the option of online delivery. I went inside and was amazed at how well the store is organized! They have a number of zones from tables where you can purchase beautiful jewelry, to a table with an awesome candle selection, a really cool puzzle section, as well as a very nice variety of ALL types of books (including a used book area!). I found so many great items and was really excited to be able to buy the birthday gift I was looking for as well as splurge on a few things for myself as well. The lady at the register (one of the owners?) was extremely welcoming and friendly, too. Johns Creek Books & Gifts truly embodies the essence of an excellent community bookstore.

I realize we're in some difficult times. If you happen to be a person who is in the position to help the economy with a little bit of spending, I hope that you will consider shopping local and support great shops like this one. Especially if you're ordering books, puzzles or candles online, if you can help a fantastic place like this stay in business, please do. Their prices are competitive and you can get some very reasonable deals as well! Ok, I'm off my soapbox!, just sayin' this place is...

This women-owned small business is an easy one to support. The owners are very knowledgeable and helpful. Their selection is excellent and they support local artists by selling their beautiful creations. This past week I shopped for two birthday gifts. I have a group of friends who buy b'day gifts for each other as a group and split the cost. There are 8 of us, we spend $8-$10 on average and are able to buy the most thoughtful and beautiful gifts from Johns Creek Books and Gifts.

On top of all that...they support the community. When the schools had to close for in-person learning they saw that many local students would go without the meals they would typically get at school, so they started a "food bank" for their families to pick up. They've continued these efforts by choosing a different apartment complex to provide bags of food for each week. They use their store as a collection and distribution site.

Johns Creek Books and Gifts have earned my support and loyalty! I'm so grateful to have them in...
