McKay Used Books & CDs has a cult following here in Nashville, with the west side warehouse providing all sorts of literature and movie formats to the entire city. It’s stuck out in the boonies, so it would seem, but this massive book warehouse makes for a perfect Saturday spent amongst that heady library smell. Although you will have to purchase THESE particular books – we can tell you. The price is most definitely right.
This humble storefront may seem pretty chill and low-key, but once you walk through these doors you'll be shocked at the massive amount of books found right behind it.
McKay has five locations total, but only one that makes its home right here in Music City. Books and movies, board games and journals are available in spades - and don't forget the massive music collection upstairs!
You can visit a McKay in either North Carolina or eastern and southern Tennessee - hi there, Knoxville and Chattanooga! - but we hope there's some kind of expansion in the future.
Every product is marked to a fabulous low price, mainly because all items are gently used. You're also able to bring your own used books and media for resale for either a payout or store credit. If you're looking for something new to read, we'd go with the latter.
Weekends tend to get very busy, so we'd recommend coming during off-hours. Everything is organized meticulous by genre and a digital database is utilized to keep all inventory on lock. This isn't a goose hunt, folks - this is the real deal.
McKay Used Books & CD's is open every day of the week, and you can head on over to 636 Old Hickory Boulevard in Nashville if you need that new mystery. We'll be there, don't you worry.
