Books on Bay is a wonderful bookstore located at 411 Abercorn Street in Savannah's Historic District. It offers a wide variety of thousands of vintage books ranging from the 1600s to the late 1900s. The selection includes traditional categories, whimsical sections, and beloved classics like Nancy Drew. Visitors find a treasure trove in the sci-fi/fantasy nook and beautiful displays of vintage cover art. The atmosphere is fabulous, with informed and helpful staff making every visit worthwhile. It is considered a great little shop and a true Savannah gem, perfect for history buffs and anyone seeking an amazing experience among older books.
This is not a traditional book store. It is a specialty shop for used and collectible books. They have an amazing collection of Nancy Drew, Bobsey Twins, and Trixie Beldon books, as well as a lot of Doc Savage and other pulp fiction. Amazing find! Strong recommend - if this is what you want. It's not a Barnes and Noble.

Great book collections here. But not knowing if the signatures are authentic? When asked, completed ignored the question.
I will still come here.
