“What an amazing collection! They have a bit of everything here. One can easily spend hours looking through shelf after shelf. Also they have cats, definitely a plus.”
“I ordered a book about running on the phone. This Barnes & Noble only had one in stock. I asked the clerk to hold the book for one day. When I arrived at the customer service desk the next day, my book was waiting for me. The checkout process was clean and sweet. I received excellent customer service.”
“I am so happy with my experience at this bookstore. I came here after a visit to Emory’s Carlos museum just to browse and came out with 3 out of print history books that have been on my list to read for a long time. Everything was reasonably priced and the selection was top tier!! The store was also very well organized. All the staff members were incredibly kind and made us feel very welcome. I cannot wait to come back here, it’s worth a good drive! 11/10, would recommend!!!”
“I've been to this location in Decatur many times. A lovely place to buy from, with a good selection and good prices, but - and this is a biggie, I woud never bring in books are items to sell to them. What the store offers you for your items is laughable. I feel so sorry for people at the sell counter who bring in boxes of items, only to be offered ten cents or a dollar, knowing that the store is going to turn right around and sell those same items at Ebay / collector prices. Always buy from them, never sell to them.”
“Came across the COOLEST BOOKSTORE while exploring DT Chamblee with my wife the other day! The bookstore is truly very magical and whimsical.
It looks small from the outside, but Wild Aster is quite big on the inside. There are many shelves sorted by genres. There is a back area for children. There's also a smaller area for stationary items. There's even a really cool section where the books are all wrapped in brown craft paper (so you can't see the actual book), but a description and genre is written on the craft paper with marker. My wife got me one of these as a surprise for my birthday, and I also bought a book from one of the mystery/thriller shelves. The books are averagely priced.
We chatted with the owner, Grace, for a little as well. I believe she owns the bookstore with her husband. He was not there though. She was so friendly! She was letting us know about all the events Wild Aster throws (they throw a lot, so definitely check out their website/instagram to stay updated!), local recommendations around the area, and was giving us insight into how the store came to be and all that. She was truly a delight to talk to!
I look forward to coming back here in the future! I LOVE a good bookstore, and this is right in our backyard!!”
“I came here to buy my books from my favorite author. Amy was the sweetest and most helpful cashier. She helped me find the best deal for the books. And Lanisha is the most amazing book finder. Always goes out of her way to help me! I always have a great experience with customer service here!”
“Brought my 2 girls here today cause they're always looking for another interesting book to read! very friendly environment, and always finding what we're looking for ?”
“This is a beautiful Chinese bookstore. The lady inside was kind and jovial with my questions as I am trying to get back into learning Chinese. She said they had low stock right now so I'll be back soon to check out the new shipments!”
“Super cute inside and good lattes! Most books are either cookbooks or children’s books but the atmosphere is still adorable. I got a matcha with oat milk and my mom got a vanilla latte with oat milk. All were reasonably priced. You should definitely check it out!”
“I come to this store regularly, and today I was genuinely surprised. For the first time, I was truly impressed by the kindness of an employee.
Normally, especially at this Half Price Books location, the employees tend to be expressionless and interact with customers like robots, using memorized phrases without much warmth or personality. They are not rude, but they often seem disconnected and mechanical.
Today, however, there was a young employee named Kyle at the register, and I was genuinely impressed by his politeness, friendliness, and positive attitude.
Thank you, Kyle. I hope other employees will take inspiration from you and treat customers with the same level of enthusiasm and care, rather than acting as if they are being forced to be there. This 5 star only for Kyle not the others.”
“Just the smell alone coming through the door took me back to another place. Absolutely love this store. Had everything I wanted. Friendly staff and great selections.”

“Richard is a wealth of knowledge and very generous with his time and expertise. He explains things thoroughly and is a pleasure to do business with. I will be certain to keep him in my contacts if I ever have need of his services again.”
“I enjoyed my visit and looking around the store. It was nice and clean. The representative assisted me with finding a gift for my step-mother's birthday. She loved it by the way.”
“That's a beautiful bookstore! The salesperson knows her books and authors! It's amazing she was able to find an author for me Devon Franklin from my very poor description of a book I read! Lol ! Thanks”
“Tons of books, a bit disheveled though…maybe after a few visits I would feel more comfortable but unfortunately I was only visiting. If you are a paperback fan there is a pretty massive selection (much better than the hardback for fiction anyway)”
“One of my favorite stores! The owners(husband and wife) are so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! They always have what I'm looking for, and more! Plus, they are less expensive than buying online!”
“I’ve been going to bookstores in and around Atlanta this summer.
This bookshop is 5 minutes from where I work so once I realized it was here, I stopped in. This is a small-medium shop with a fantastic selection of books. It’s got that wonderful warm bookstore feel and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
They have a great children’s section and even let their young readers put up their own recommendations. I was pleased to see not only books I read in school 15 years ago (the Giver) but also current series (Keepers of the Lost Cities).
For one of the series in the adult section, they had a reading order list up, which I thought was very helpful. They also have a couple of rotating displays upfront near the check out counter. They had their Father’s Day display up as well as a cat themed one.
Additionally, they have a nice selection of other items such as stickers, puzzles, and bookish items.
I will definitely be stopping in again after work.”
“Absolutely loved my experience at the Emory Book Store! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming me with a smile and offering help the moment I walked in. I went there to pick up faculty regalia at the last minute, and they were extremely helpful and understanding about the situation. They made the process quick and stress-free, going above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. The store also has a great selection of books, school supplies, and Emory gear—it’s the perfect spot for students, faculty, and visitors alike. It’s clear they care about creating a great experience for everyone who walks through the door. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re on or near campus!”
“Dear Ms. Lavonya,
I don’t usually reply to surveys, however I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the absolutely wonderful service we received from you at the Christian Inspirations Book Store in Marietta, Georgia.
You truly went above and beyond to assist me . Even when I couldn’t drive over to the store’s location because of a physical health restrictions, to pick up my personalized printed Bible you delivered our product right to our home. That level of care and dedication is something we’ve never experienced anywhere else.
Please know how much we appreciate your patience, your time, and your dedication. Thank you for making our experience so special.”
“I love dropping into this store.
Every time I browse, I come away with new additions to my reading list. Fantastically curated book selection.
The cutesy toys, stuffed animals and gadgets always bring a smile to my face ... although *ouch* my visits do sting the wallet! :)”
“I attend the Atlanta Campus, but went to the Perimeter bookstore location to purchase all of my online books. I cannot begin to explain to whomever reads this how amazing, patient and kind Liz, who works at the bookstore, is. She spent so much time helping me navigate the ins and outs of using my benefits to purchase my school books. She truly cares about the success of each and every individual that walks through the doors of the bookstore. 20/10 would recommend everyone stop by, even if it's just for a snack and to see Liz!”
“When in to purchase a bible and struck up a conversation with an older gentleman, I wish I had gotten his name so I can mention him. He was very kind and offended me to go to the chapel and pray. Best decision I made in a long time. Very quiet and I felt the presence of the Lord.”
“Really cozy and friendly place to read books, make new friends and be in community. The bookstore owners are very welcoming and they've done a beautiful job putting their own touch on what a bookstore means to them. The set up is family style and relaxing.”

“I felt an amazing energy upon entering this shop. Danielle helped me (so sorry if I spelled her name wrong!) and happily answered all my questions. She even gave me a piece of her own palo santo because they ran out of it. I’m extremely happy with my moonstone necklace, sterling silver ring and incense. I will absolutely be back soon!”
“I went to this college for my sister and the sweatshirt I got was very nice. This store also has a variety of clothes to choose from, snacks, school supplies, cups, stickers, parent t-shirts, baby clothes, jewelry, soda, etc... A wonderful store”
“Checked this place out while I was here dropping my child off for their first year of college. Very nice book and supple store on campus. Excellent selection of items and very nice atmosphere inside!”

“Oy Toys/And Thou Shalt Read is your go-to bookstore for your Jewish children's and pet toys, and children's books. Christian items are also available. It's also a great place for unique religious gifts - we all have Jewish friends we often don't know how to buy for at holiday times. I have never seen a bookstore with so much to offer in so little space! RuthE will find what you need whether she carries it or not, and she'll ship anywhere. Forget online, just ask RuthE for what you need and she'll save you the time browsing and researching with her vast knowledge and helpful tips. A must stop and shop in North Metro Atlanta!”
“This was a great experience and wonderful shop but the main reason for the 4 stars was the lack of inventory. I would have really enjoyed to purchase essential oils or books but mainly had testers and limited books. I will definitely come back but hope to see more inventory.”
