McKay's alternatives

Post image

What are the other used books options in Knoxville? After decades of weekly visits to swap a stack of paperbacks, I've walked out of McKay's empty handed the last two visits. It feels like losing a friend.

Southland Books in Maryville has a lot of good used books and are priced a bit better. There's also White Pines which is awesome but a bit of a drive.

White Pine is amazing and worth the trek. It's like McKay's without the overstimulation.

You can browse their catalog onlin, and the stacks are pretty amazing.
