An awesome used book store with thousands of books. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. The selection is pretty nice too! They have it organized by different selection!

The bathroom for shoppers is atrocious. No soap, paper towels, or running water in the sink. All issues that can be easily fixed. A storage tote for the trash can, filled with used pads.. I bet the employee restroom that is kept locked doesn’t look like this. I advise no one to drink out of the water fountain. That’s where most people wash their hands.

I only went thru two aisles. 8 books later, hubby says we gotta go. 🤣🤣 I spent less than $30. The cashiers were nice. Will return.

A large used book store. Large selection of mainstream paperback adventure, western and mystery. Less robust in the fantasy and sci-fi sections when I was there. Very reasonable prices. Paperbacks from $1 and hardback at about $2-4 depending. No RPG books.

You can take your used books here and trade them for credit. But also they keep 4 or 5 boxes of books outside thedoor that they no longer want and you can get as many as you want for free. I go there after hours every time Im in Crossville and find books for everyone I know.Also Threads of Hope is in the same shopping center. It is like a Goodwill store.

We went into this store not knowing what to expect. That saying, you cant judge a book by its cover certainly applies here. Great selections of used books and other media and great prices too. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the Crossville area.

Decent store. A lot of Christian book options (if thats what youre going for) and the kids section didnt look much like a kids section, maybe I missed something. Found two books so Im not disappointed.

Review №26

They have a large selection of books, but with very little organization its extremely difficult to find anything that isnt written by a very established writer. Spent half an hour trying to find any Jim Butcher only to find nothing. Their selection of fantasy or scifi is very limited.

This place was amazing! Ive been looking for a used book store for a long time when I stumbled across this place. The store was huge with a wonderful selection of books. It is very organized which made finding what you are looking for so much easier. Wish it was closer to where I live but I have no problem making the 1hr drive for this store.

If you are a book phene like I am, you need a great supplier of books. For me, one of my best go-to places is the Book Cellar. Over the years, I have had different favorite book stores, depending on what was open and where I was living at the time. For the last 10-15 years, the Book Cellar has been my favorite. Now I know a lot of people read. But I have over 800 books. I read A LOT, and I buy a lot of books. Here are the things that I like about this place:1) They have a huge selection. I read a wide variety of books. From history, to biography to specific fiction authors to current events/political to theology & Christian themed (I have a degree in theology) to medical/self-help...the list goes on. They have almost any category you can think of.2) Their staff is helpful when you need them but they dont bug they heck out of you.3) The store is very organized. While it isnt computerized, it is clearly marked at the end of each aisle showing what genre is where.4) Its quiet and peaceful like a library to browse. I have literally spent hours in here multiple times.5) They are very well priced! I hate going into used book stores and seeing sticker prices of $10+! I frequently buy books for $2 & $3 here. I often leave with a whole bag full under $20!If you like books at all, trust me, you will love this place!

Love this store!! I recycle nearly all my books here, and I live 2 hours away. I save my books until a visit to my parents and then trade and browse the stacks. Crossville may be the golf capital of the south, but this store puts this city on the map for bibliophiles.

Love reading books. Like the feel of the paper. This place is a mini library with all the books they had and WAY cheaper then most book resellers. Helpful staff and every changing inventory. Great store tucked away in the strip mall.

Review №55

This place is awesome. Read a few reviewers about their organization and its pretty good. A database or card catalog would be great but the search is half the fun. A word of advice is to search for two copies of same book. Found a hard cover of one for a dollar and then the paperback of it for 3.50 and they in different sections. But as I said the search is half the fun. Planning to go back sooner rather than later.

Review №58

This place has a lot of books and the prices seem pretty reasonable. The problem is that they are only sort of in any kind of order and even then there are often books stacked in front of other books. They also do not have any kind of inventory list according to the girl at the counter which coupled with the bad organization makes it hard to find anything. Overall I think if you have the time and patience to search through their selection you will probably find some great books for a good price but the lack of origination makes what could be a great book store only good.

My husband and I took a short weekend trip to East Tennessee recently. We saw a billboard for the Book Cellar, and since we werent in any hurry to get anywhere, we thought it sounded like a fun detour. We spent about an hour or so browsing music & books. It was a great way to take a break & stretch our legs. We went home with hours of quality entertainment for a great low price!

I enjoyed going here a lot when I was a kid. My mom and I would spend hours here. Now that I live in Texas I havent been able to visit in years. Visiting my brother who lives near, I decided to stop in, and its still just as wonderful. Inexpensive books and very friendly staff. Its defiantly better than Half Price Books, in my opinion.

This book store has an incredible range of books available for really, really low prices . . . The staff is really friendly and helpful too. You never know what youre going to find. Today it was a brand new copy of A Confederacy of Dunces and The Creek both $2.00 each . . .

Review №74

I didnt spend too terribly long in here so I didnt get to look at everything but this is probably the largest second hand bookstore Ive ever been in. Its clean and most importantly its well organized. Unlike a lot of second hand book shops, that just have books placed haphazardly, the book cellar has all books separated by topic and neatly arranged in alphabetical order by author so it will be easy to find anything you are looking for. Definitely a great stop for any avid reader that doesnt mind reading a pre-owned book.

Lots of books which cover many subjects, cost are very reasonable, and staff is courteous.

Me
Review №76

Lots of used books for great prices, even a bunch of free ones in boxes outside. Things can be a little hard to find as they have no database of their inventory and things tend to get shelved a little randomly. If you go looking for a specific title, you may be searching for a while. Other than that and a bit of overstock on Christian books, it was a fun place to spend a few hours and grab a some old hardbacks for under $20 for the wholestack.

Ti
Review №77

Poorly arranged. They apparently have no inventory control as they couldnt tell if they had particular authors or books. On the bright side, they have a huge amount of inventory. They sell both hardback and soft back books.

Review №78

It is by far the largest bookstore I have ever visited. There are 2 floors of books with every topic you can imagine. The one I visited was easily accessible right off the interstate. I could have stayed in there for days and still have missed so many tittles. If it is your first time to visit there ask the greeters to help you get started.

Review №81

I love the space this bookstore is housed in. There is plenty to look through and the staff is friendly and willing to help you if you need it. However, the selection is geared more towards an older crowd. There are multiple Christian reading sections. This is probably the result of the city’s demographic and the books they are trading in. If you are looking to snag some newer releases, you won’t find them here, but the prices are low and the selection is okay.

Best book store ever!!! This is my favorite place on earth! You can even trade in your own books for store credit! There is so much to look though, Id plan a whole day for a trip here if you love books:) if you are looking for something specific, they dont catalog what they have but they are fairly knowledgeable on their inventory:)

We stopped by on a trip from Texas to Tn, saw the billboard and decided it would be a good place to stretch our legs. This place did not disappoint! We spent over an hour coming through books and we wound up leaving there with a big box of books and only spent $46. Wish there was a place like this local to us.
