The Bookshop A nook for people who love beautiful books in East Nashville Just ask!

The Bookshop is a cozy, 500-square-foot nook for people who love beautiful books, located in East Nashville.

The carefully considered curation encompasses a wide range of topics, including literary fiction, children's, science, history, cooking, art + design, poetry, m

usic, memoir, and more. Also, we can order just about any book for you, and you'll be able to pick it up at shop in a couple of days.

August means it’s time for the Nashville Scene’s annual Best of Nashville readers’ poll, and we sure would appreciate it if you would consider voting for us for Best Bookstore (Local). Making the list can be a big boost for a tiny shop like ours, and, well, we certainly aim to BE the best, but of course that’s subjective (and we’re a little biased).

Ballot link is in our bio. You must vote in at least 20 categories for them to count.

Speaking of voting . . . don’t forget that Thursday is the Tennessee primary. Your vote in every election matters—get to those polls!
