Underground Books is a charming, underground bookstore located a few steps below street level in historic downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Housed in a hundred-year-old basement, the shop features an archway made of books and shelves filled with stories, collectibles, and art that reflect a love for books and creativity. The store has an authentic booknerd vibe, with a wide and carefully curated selection of new and used titles displayed in a charming and inviting way. Customers appreciate the friendly staff, who are helpful and welcoming, making it easy to spend hours exploring the diverse collection. The shop offers fairly priced books and has unique features like "employee picks" cards, adding a personal touch. It is considered one of the cutest bookstores around, and visitors often find it to be a favorite spot in the area, with many planning to return to add to their TBR piles.
This is my favorite bookstore, hands down. Every year, for Mother’s Day, my husband puts me up in an Airbnb nearby so I can spend an entire day here to peruse without interruption.
The prices are excellent (there are both new and used books), the selection is unbeatable, and the vibes are immaculate.

I adore this bookstore! I love that it’s local and the prices are great. The inclusivity is amazing and the vibe is so good. My TBR gets bigger every time I go!

Fun experience. What a book store should be. Watch your step.
