The owner has lost my business forever. I used to frequent this store several times a month. After my last experience I will not be back. My wife and I arrived and began browsing. Immediately I noticed a raised voice from behind the counter. As I listened I overheard a male berating a female for her political views in a very condescending and rude way. I walked to the front and realized the voices were from two staff members. The older male was continuing to berate what appeared to be his younger female staff member and began to espouse his political bigoted views degrading minorities and immigrants. At that point a fellow customer commented he may have picked the wrong bookstore. The man behind the counter then turned his vitriol towards the customer and informed him he was the owner and that the customer could, "get the **** out of my store." The customer, my wife and I, and several other customers decided to do just that. I had the pleasure of informing the owner on my way out that I would not be back.

The staff is hit or miss, the prices fluctuate wildly depending on who checks you out, the poor selection of vinyl is cheap, but in marginal condition at the best of times. In spite of these flaws, I love going to this bookstore. Several dozen books out of my personal collection have come from the Book Nook and, though I could do without some of the staff, the selection of books is amazing, the books are well cataloged, and (most of the time) the prices are very reasonable. For you music buffs, if your looking for CDs stop on by (They have an unholy amount of CDs), but if your looking for vinyl, head elsewhere ( Antiques on the square is a good place to start.) All in all the Book Nook is a great little bookstore, and for what its worth, I will continue to shop there for as long as I can afford to support them.

Appalling and scary experience. The Book Nook has lost my business indefinitely. This past Saturday I was dismayed to over hear an older male (the owner) behind the counter of the Marietta Book Nook loudly disrespecting and openly belittling a younger female employee due to her political views. He openly voiced many racist and sexist comments. A fellow customer said "I think I chose the wrong bookstore" to try to curb the berating of the female employee to which the owners response to this patron was screaming, "I guess you believe in freedom of speech, Get the F*** out of my store then". I am utterly appalled by this owners behavior towards his female employee and then to his customer. I would not support the business of an owner that openly voices bigotry and displays aggression towards others.

I love the Book Nook! They have books on just about anything you could imagine. They have alot of books that are surprisingly organized well. They are all also in really good shape for them to be used books. The book nook sells DVD collections, records, collectors editon dolls and even more! The staff tends to be nice although some more than others. I have been coming here for years and will continue as long as its here.

I will never shop Roswell Rd location (or this company) again. I will never knowingly give my money to a bigot. I would suggest the owner to keep his political and personal views within the confines of his personal space. You never know who is listening, but then again Im sure he doesnt care because I could hear him. Furthermore, his views about the area in which he earns a living were very negative. Go figure.

I love the Book Nook. They always have a great selection. The staff isnt pushy and will help you if asked, which I really like because it means I can browse the shelves in peace. The whole place smells of woof and paper and the floors creak when you walk, making me feel like Im in a dusty library. I shop there all the time and I really love that they give old books new homes instead of them getting thrown away.

The hours listed are NOT current store hours because this website is NOT the Book Nooks personal website (there isnt a BN website, currently). Some information is out of date, and the store hours change seasonally. Please call the store for current store hours and policies and stop yelling at me. Thanks!

Great selection and wonderful staff. Ive been a customer for years. Ive always enjoyed my purchases and time spent discussing various films with the crew, as most are movies buffs as well. A great location for hard to find or out of print editions. Were fortunate to have them in the community!

I dropped my friend off at this book store and she Hated how she wasnt acknowledged AT ALL! Coming or going! Was not offered any assistance or even a welcome. Never spend money here unless "white boy" and "white girl" can respect to everyone.

Extremely rude staff! Unbelievably poor customer service. Its as if they dont care whether or not you shop there. They make it blatantly obvious that they hate their jobs. Will never be back.
