Great shop however knocked stars off due to zero acknowledgement from either of the workers for the entire time my son and I were in the store. Walked within 6ft of them both several times as well.spent about 20 mins here. Busy with their own conversation.Wife came in and purchased a giant 🐼 and my son added in a few books. Would have purchased a lot more as we are avid readers in our house, not to mention we were on vacation in Atlanta so looking for things to purchase! But theres a B&N less than 5 miles from our home in Texas which isnt any more or less inviting as a big box store.

Super friendly people behind the register, gave us a mask so we could shop in the store as we misplaced one. Great book selection, my daughter loved the young adult section. Will definitely be back.

Lovely little bookshop with a decent size inventory of diverse genres. Nice collection of notebooks made of recycled paper. They have a handwritten book review display I thought was a nice touch. Some accessories for kids including handmade washable lunch bags and soft plush toy animals. Browsing was fun. 10/10 Ill be back to buy.

Quite a few books about traveling and the history of Georgia. They have stickers/postcards/pins that make good souvenirs. Its a fun bookstore to wander through and find fun stuff

Review β„–5

Although the owner is deleting bad reviews which violates freedom of speech. This again shows the type of environment this business operates under. Bottom line is the store does not have friendly customer service. The manager is very rude and lazy. Don’t ask for assistance unless you want to be given a eye roll. Now after reviewing some books being sold here. Your store is not safe for children that’s a very fair and honest review. That would mean any child under the age of 13 should not be allowed to walk and shop this store alone. It is a factual statement that this store is not safe for families and children. Can’t take a bad review don’t go into a business serving the public.

The literature section at Posman’s is the best that I have ever found in a modestly-sized new book store. The selection is carefully curated and includes not only the obvious big-name authors but also rare cult novels. I only wish I lived in Atlanta so that I could dip into its selection on a regular basis!

Love the inclusivity and the love from the staff. (I spoke with Jonas to find a special book that I could not find anywhere else. He was AMAZING!) The selection isnt massive, but I will always support small bookstores before anything like some other chain stores. 10/10 will absolutely be back.

Very unique book and gift store. Store sells cards, stuffed animals, toys and a lot of interesting books. Staff is friendly and efficient. Parking could be a challenge but you can use the parking structures close by. Prices are surprising reasonable for the area.

This is a superb bookstore! However, I love to cook and bought Ron Douglas cookbooks. Both cookbooks do not have photos to show how the dish should look and the ingredients are inaccurate! Ive read the most recent book-Methods To Millions is a waste of money with novice like tips.

Super cute but also super small. Social distancing is hard in this teeny tiny store. The store has some cute local finds. A little bit of everything... great place if you are looking for stocking stuffers or a small host gift. Masks were required, dogs allowed and no dividers between customer and staff when checking out.

I got tickled by the sign out side the shop. It said stop in and say hi. So I did. And the first employee was organizing books. I am grinning, waving my hand saying hi! He smiled big. I told him the sign out side said to come in and say hi. So I did. He laughed. And asked if he could help us find anything. The shop is cozy, staff super authentically friendly, and I will return. I thank you.

I prefer small boutique book stores over the bug chains like Barnes and Noble. The staff actually read books in the smaller stores and want to help. When I buy books they are my first stop before ordering online.

Posman Books is such a cute and welcoming bookstore! Every time I come to Ponce, I just have to come here! Its impossible for me to walk out of there without a good book or some cute pins. They offer so many different genres of books and have lots of cool knick-knacks if thats more your speed. I highly recommend people to visit :)

Review β„–56

Huge book nerd here. Nothing beats the feeling of walking into a good book store, and Posman doesnt disappoint. Being at PCM, they could easily just offer the minimum, be a mediocre book store, and probably do just fine, but they dont do mediocrity. I love the feel of this store; so vibrant and welcoming. The layout is great, although a little overwhelming with the amount of people on busy days, but theyve handled this inevitability in a great way. Their displays are always on point, up to date, and rotated regularly. Theyre always stocked up with the newest releases, and they always have great recommendations of older books as well. I absolutely love this book store!

This is what a bookstore should feel like. Posman Books is just so... quaint... but huge... if that makes any sense! It has that tiny, independent bookstore feel but has a huge selection that rivals the book sections of larger big chain stores.The staff was very friendly and my payment was quick. They accept credit cards, which I suppose is expected, but I was doubtful because its such an old-feeling shop.Overall, I love this bookstore and wish I lived closer so I could frequent it more!

I was drawn into this store upon seeing the jellycat plushies in the windows. I never imagined I would see any jellycats in a physical store. And then they have a great selection of sci-fi and horror books. I am always hunting for good horror thats not Stephen King or the like.

I happened upon this pleasant store and left with a bag of goodies. Not only are the books clearly chosen with great conscious, many of the newly popular books are displayed alongside a handwritten note of recommendation. The location contains not only books but puzzles, planners, stickers, erasers, enamel pins, patches, and toys. Leif was friendly and happy to help customers.

Review β„–73

Stumbled upon this store while waiting for our car to be washed across the street. Very cute and great prices. I did notice that the space is small and they have a lot of inventory that goes beyond books. As a result, it does feel a bit cluttered in there, and I feel like a person using a wheel chair might have difficulty navigating the store. However, I will definitely be back as I dont feel we were able to adequately explore. It is 2 and 5 year old approved as well.

Every time I visit Ponce City Market I always try to make a stop by this bookstore. They have an excellent selection of books that are organized in a clear fashion throughout the store. The staff have always been super nice and appeared to really enjoy working there. I also enjoy the pins, magnets, and other little knick knack objects they have between the tables of books.Definitely worth the visit if you are in Ponce City Market!

Review β„–78

This shop is well stocked with new and classic books as well as employee recommendations. Evidently for these they only keep one or two of the recommendation in stock, so if you see it on the display ho ahead and grab it! While checking out I was drawn to several local gifts such as the rip murder kroger sticker and the person at check out dropped a somewhat catty line to the effect of Youre the best impulse shopper weve had today. Please dont say this to customers. Its not a neutral or positive statement. I still checked out but it was followed by immediate buyers remorse.

Review β„–79

It was a good experience, at first. The owner and I engaged in friendly conversation, until I mentioned the company I work for, at which point he proceeded to bash the company relentlessly and borderline insult me. I just wanted to learn about and buy a few books. We were having a really nice interaction before that, and I attempted to gracefully move past the topic, but I couldnt believe his lack of couth--he just kept going on and on in the direction of negativity. Needless to say, I will not be back, and I do not recommend.

There for Drag Queen Story Hour with Edie Cheezburger. We love the bookstore, great selection, fun events, incredible staff. Only trouble is dealing with Ponce City Market on the weekend. So many people and impossible to find parking. Still worth it for a fun time and unique book selection, though.

A small bookstore with, from what I noticed, a somewhat large cooking and travel section for its size. For a bookstore this size, they probably wont carry some of the more obscure books.
