The University of the South Bookstore is a beautiful and welcoming place located near the Sewanee campus. It offers a wide selection of books, including textbooks, fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, and hobby books, as well as clothing with unique Sewanee apparel. The store has two floors and creates a terrific bookstore atmosphere suitable for all ages. Customers appreciate the helpful and friendly staff, making their visit enjoyable. In addition to books, there is a children's section with perfect stuffed animal gifts, and a clearance area with a good selection. The store is often described as charming, cozy, and well-maintained, providing a memorable shopping experience. Though it is inside another business and can be expensive, it is a nice spot to browse, buy gifts, or find special items to remember a visit to Sewanee.

Great place to visit, hike and get away from the city. The view from the cross is amazing! We ate in the dining room and enjoyed the many choices.
