Read It Again

BOOKS AREN’T JUST ON LINE!
This is a cute little bookstore and perfect for parents with little ones. They have a cute little reading circle in the back and scheduled story time. It reminds me of living in a small town and visiting the «downtown» bookstore with my own kids. It was a small little shop with a couple of cats who really owned the place.
Although books are not purchased, they can be traded for other books and credit. The credit can then be used to receive a discount off of a new book. For more details on this process, you can visit their website.
In addition to regular books, they also have study guides and ACT/​SAT prep materials. You may also purchase cool page holders and other gift items.
This store is located in the Kohl’s shopping center down the sidewalk from Michael’s.

This little independent book store is a gem in our neighborhood! We love having it nearby for whenever the urge for a new read strikes, or whenever the teachers at school require a new title for class, or even when we need a quick, unique and smart gift. We stop in probably once a month for one reason or another.
Read it Again offers a discount on books that customers purchase specifically for school assigned reading. I love that I can call on a whim and ask if they have a used, or new, copy of a title I need/​want and if they don’t have it, they offer to order it.
For book-​a-​holics who like to pass on their previously read titles, you can drop off your gently used titles and start an account that allows you to purchase in stock used titles for ½ the price marked on the cover. This has afforded many a great deal on used titles!

I love this place and have shopped here for years but today I had the most amazing experience. My 13yr old broke her arm and had it set across the street at Emory hospital. We were told she would need to be cautious for 2 weeks. She requested some books to help her pass the time. I called and explained our situation and they grabbed the book she asked for and a few others that they though she would enjoy. I pulled up and the books were ready for me. They put me at the front of the line and had me in and out in less than 2 min! Thanks for making my day just a little less stressful!

I love independent book stores. I love USED bookstores. and this combines them both. They had a great selection of unique items, gift items and books! Oh the books! That wonderful musty smell that precipitates paper bound in paper! It is just –that– exciting!
I wandered around as I waited for my friend to check out at Michaels. I noticed that there were books in bags, and the bags were titled «Blind date with A book» what a great idea!
The only reason I didn’t buy anything was that the two young women behind the counter were doing «Twilight» trivia. No thank you! *grin*

I have been shopping at Read It Again for years. The service has always been very friendly, and I always call here first if I am looking for a specific book for my children. The trade-​in policy also comes in handy. We need more independent book stores like this!

Terrible – crowded, unorganized, difficult to navigate. Staff is mercurial – at times helpful, but rarely pleasant. The icing on the cake was when they refused to exchange one of four books my family had given me for my birthday – even though I had a receipt and was asking for only an even exchange. I had already read the book. They offered me instead store credit for ½ the amount my family paid less than two weeks ago. How cheap!!!

I seriously wish all bookstores would put books on their sides so you can read them easily like Read It Again so I don’t have to crane my neck and walk out with a headache. I love this store even though the service is pretty dicey the last time I went in no one was even behind the counter. The selection of books is great I’m not really sure about the membership aspects and all since I’m very attached to my library and do not fancy the idea of bringing my books back for store credit although it might not be a bad idea for some. It is a bit crowded with books and knickknacks overflowing pretty much everywhere but they have a good mix of the new and used and some great classics for decent prices (used that is). I enjoy this shop and will be going back despite the iffy service.

I’ve had a different experience from the other reviewer of this buisness. I’ve been going here off and on for about 4+years. I will agree, sales staff hasn’t always been the friendliest, but, i think it’s a hit or miss with this place. As I’ve had GREAT customer service and not so great.
The book store is very cramped with books overflowing from shelves everywhere. A book lover’s dream! They also have some brand new books, which they sell at a discounted price if you can’t find a used copy. Usually books that high school kids would need for book reports and such.
I would recommened going online or calling ahead to find out their exact book trading in policy, it’s been awhile since I’ve done so. And if they don’t take the books in, I know they keep them so that it can be donated to the libraries.
They sell a little bit of other odds and ends too, cards, staitionairy, mugs, just a bunch of little things.

First impressions always count, right? After that, it is very hard to remove those impressions even after second chances. I was cleaning up my coffee table area and recollect this event from a month ago and wanted to Unilocal my experience. I found the bookstore via website and decided to visit there hoping to buy an old Peter Pan book for my daughter’s school project and maybe trade in her old paperback that she read a long time ago. Immediately in the door is a register so I said hello to the cashier and mentioned that this was my first visit in the store. I inquired about the store’s trade-​in policy as I had an old paperback in my hand. As I presented the book, to my astonishment, the cashier said in a harsh tone «this book is not acceptable as it is not good as new and the front cover is messed up!!! It has to be clean and not rumpled like this» as the cashier proceded to show me an older previously read children’s book that was indeed «in good condition.» My shocked reply was «I know this is not in pristine condition and there is nothing wrong with this book except a barely worn cover. I am not aware of your policy since I just came in for the first time. If you don’t want the book, then I’ll just eBay it.» Needless to say my feelings were naturally hurt and I decided then and there, this place did not make me feel welcome. I did managed to look around and noticed that majority of the books were mostly thick paperback novels. Many were marked with ink pen on side arm and were highly priced. You know, the ones you would pay for a quarter at a yard sale? As I lingered in the store, I felt very cramped, and the more I felt that, the more I did not feel welcomed there and decided not to return again. I don’t fault the cashier for explaining the store policy, but the harshness of her tone and the store lost me as a customer before I got past the register all in first few minutes. As for the Peter Pan book, I bought it via Alibris website and it is «in pristine condition» and in «good condition» paperback.
