“Great place for all things involving African and African-American culture.An extensive selection of books - historical, spiritual sciences, sociological, psychological, healthy lifestyle, cookbooks, afrocentric thought, analysis of how white power structures maintains the current power relationship with Africans worldwide, gender, children of all ages (fiction and non-fiction?, graphic novels, self-help.You can get all kinds of art, drums, masks, African clothes, t-shirts and sweatshirts embracing black Americana and African identity. A great selection of jewelry.You can get books and materials for Kwanzaa.A large selection of body oils from which to choose to smell right for any occasion.How about some healthy drinks and sea moss.Soaps and toothpastes without the infamous unhealthy ingredients. How about shea butter and other oils and lotions.Definitely a great selection of incense.The proprietor is 2nd generation carrying his father's legacy. He is very knowledgeable about everything in the store. I always need help in chosing novels for my teenage daughters and my teenage niece. Jordan knows about various authors and has read many of the books. So he can give good guidance.My only complaint is I spend tooo much money and at least 2 hours in good intellectual conversation with young and old folks.I have bought a book from the author in the store on 2 occassions.This is nothing other than a gold mine.My strong advice to you is to GET THERE, and get there FAST .Btw,I don't live in Nashville. But I've been to or through there a bunch in the last 3 years. I always go to Alkebulan and Kingdom Cafe, just a walk down the street to get that soul food. Can't wait to catch the monday jam session at a club. Jefferson Ave is a black business incubator that is coming to life led by the conscious raising bookstore -ALKEBULAN!✊?✊?✊?”
“What a fantastic bookshop. I was so happy to get a copy of i'm afraid you've got dragons which came autographed by peter beagle the writer of last unicorn. Thank you very much for a wonderful experience”
“Sweet, little bookstore. The owner was very knowledgeable and helpful for my tween daughter. She knew titles that were of interest to her and made a few suggestions.A really nice selection of books, some toys and chatchkies. Don’t miss out on this adorable shoppe in the heart of 5 Points.”
“Fantastic selection of books, art, and everything you can imagine related to liturgy. I found these cool vintage bookends. Even if you aren’t catholic there is something for you. The ladies who work there are salt of the earth, great people.”
“I went yesterday for the first time and the staff were very friendly and helpful! They welcomed me when I walked in, asked if I needed any help, and then walked me right to what I needed! GREAT customer service!?”
“A PHENOMENAL place to shop!! I visited in October during a business trip and was in need of some protection from negativity. I had just received disheartening news that complicated things and fate had it that I saw this store nearby. I walked in and was greeted so warmly. I expressed my needs and was met with perfect service. The advice and products I was shown were PERFECT for my needs.I have to shout of the Beast Boi oil for being an incredible, great smelling, and potent product. Y'all need to give it a try; I promise you'll love it as much as I do!”
“I am so happy to have finally gotten to visit a half price books!I like the store and they have some options. I only left with a small haul, so I think maybe they just hadn't had many good manga brought in. That isn't to say that someone else may find more they love.They had music and posters and tons of other gift options. We picked up manga and a sign. A great book shop!”
“A very good bookstore, built for slow, methodical treasure hunting. Meant to explore, not ask “Do you have…” and expect grab it and go.Inventory is not tracked by the owner, and while that has its pluses and minuses, I don’t mind at all. Owner is kind and friendly and has uniquely curated the store he wants. It is full of charm, nooks and crannies and the books you’d expect—but so many wild cards (rare or rarely seen authors, titles, editions). I under bought because I was overwhelmed.If I wasn’t just a tourist, I would be a regular finding my traditional favorites but also making discoveries. This is a store where the hunt pays off and broadens the mind again and again. Nashville is lucky to have to have it.And my wife adds, “Great cat!””
“Lots of good products, you're guaranteed to find something good for your little loved ones. Does not have the "Shop Around the Corner" vibe I was hoping for, but there's a wide selection of toys.”

“The staff is fantastic. They saved me a LOT of headaches sorting out issues with my textbooks. It's never taken me long to get what I need either, and they're always open to my questions (saved me buying an expensive book I thought I needed). Why can't all other stores be this easy to work with??”
“This is a wonderful used book store! Carl, the owner was very kind to get the books I wanted and set them aside for me. We are on a very limited income and having a place that we can buy great hard back book in excellent condition for a price we can afford is a blessing!The book store is inside a antique mall, also with many booths and very good prices.we totally enjoyed our time there and especially the books we now proudly own!”
“I see many good reviews here at your bussiness. I am going to come by if possible to see if you are interested in getting these 100 plus books I have from my family's estate sale.Alot of hard find cookbooks abdnovels.Do you purchase books?”
“This review goes to my amazing sales associate from yesterday Isabelle? I can’t thank you enough for your kindness. When I came in I wasn’t in the best of mood I was sad and felt so depressed. I’m going through a life event and I just so full of emotion and couldn’t stop my tears from coming when I asked for her help . I found a book and a journal and when I got home I saw a special note that I truly believe God placed on her heart to make me hear this. Just her simple words touched me and I will never forget her. You never know what a person is going through while they are shopping with you so by her just giving me this peace of heart I’m sure things will get better for me. So thank you my guardian angel Isabelle from the shift she worked on 5/30 time was just before closing 7:50ish. She deserves the praise, an award or something because she just demonstrates how it should look by having compassion and a heart for someone . Thank you”
“They are very helpful and seem to know allot about every class. I had an issues with the back pack I bought there and they returned it and switched it with absolutely no hassle.”
“Had an old Bible refinished with new leather cover. It was my Mothers Bible. It came back like new. All of her underlining and information in ref to births,deaths. Military service etc were preserved. This Bible was over 100 years old. Very pleased.”
“I visited Tennessee State University with my nephew who is an incoming freshmen. One thing I loved during our visit was the outpouring love and support that was shown from every single person we encountered on campus. Nothing like an HBCU! We're looking forward to providing that same love and support back to the university for years to come!”
“If you love books and especially old books, this is THE place to go! I live in Texas and had stopped by Mr Elders’ store while visiting some friends in Nashville. Wow! This was an amazing place! I was specifically looking for some books to help my mom with her genealogy search for our family in TN. He was very helpful and just a wealth of knowledge! I could have talked with him for hours! He truly knows his books! He was able to help me find several books that included my family. One of them even included several pictures of my grandfather and several other folks in our family! I highly recommend stopping by this place. However, be sure to allow PLENTY OF TIME for your visit, as their is SO MUCH to enjoy!! Thank you Mr Elder for an awesome time. It was a true pleasure to talk with you!!”
“Cassandra is an amazing person who works at Hudson news in Nashville terminal one airport rotunda. She was not only helpful in the store but also had a lot of suggestions not only in this visit but in future visits to Nashville. I think she's a very spirited employee. It made me feel very welcomed. I wanted getting the perfect amount of gifts from Nashville at the store and I'm even planning a return back to visit Nashville just because of her amazing personality that made me feel welcomed in such a great city.”
“Lots of staff. Book selection is different. I would like to see sections of suggested books by, maybe, English professors. They do have a section authored by alumni.”
