Editorial Review for Bookman Rare and Used Books – by Jonathan Harwell Jr.
In Short
For true book lovers, the journey to a place that stocks 150,000 pre-owned volumes will provide its own reward. Both well-thumbed paperbacks and more pristine hardcovers fill the shelves, sometimes two-deep. The store boasts a large mystery section, matched only by its expansive general and science fiction collections. Take a coffee break before browsing the well- warren aisles, rooms and alcoves for the cooking, art, history and women's issues sections.

I was disappointed that I did not receive a greeting at any time while I was in the store even though I encountered an employee on several occasions. This is not what I would expect from a family-owned business. The store was also very disorganized. I am a collector of used and rare books, so I have visited many of these types of stores. The stores that will get my business are the ones that demonstrate that they value my business. This store was a big disappointment.

Whiling away a whole Sunday afternoon is very easy when I visit my favorite used bookstore, Bookman Bookwoman, located in Nashville's lively and hip university area. I can spend hours in the local history aisle alone. The store's selection of hard-to-find and collectable volumes by notable writers of local interest is amazing, and if you don't see what you're looking for, owners Saralee and Larry will gladly locate a copy for you. I've found the service to be unfailingly accommodating and pleasant. Some stacks are double shelved, adding to the fun of the hunt. I highly recommend dropping in Bookman Bookwoman to poke around in the stacks the next time you're in Hillsboro Village.
Pros: prices, service, selection
