Story

Mission Statement:
Mt. Parnassus in Greek mythology is the home of literature, learning and music. We will be Nashville’s Parnassus by providing a refuge for Nashvillians of all ages who share in the love of the written word. We will partner with and support local writers and artists, businesses and institutions. We will strive to bring readers the best books in literature, non-fiction, children’s books, local interest and the arts in both printed and digital formats. We will provide venues for writers to connect with readers, and readers to connect with books. By doing this we hope to complement and add to the rich cultural character of the Athens of the South.

Owned by a writer, this book store is for book lovers. They have talks on the weekends with visiting writers. They have all the right books, and we even ended up picking up a puzzle to do that evening. Their children selection is fantastic as well and it's organized by age range making it easy to find the right thing.

Beautiful store with a great selection, friendly staff, and always host events for book signings and promotions. They have some more obscure stuff too which was a nice surprise. The only major complaint is that there isn't enough of it. It's a small store but they make great use of what they have. Also, if i was a kid still, I would love their kids section.

The reason you come here is for the staff. You can buy a book anywhere, but nowhere in Nashville will you be able to come into a bookstore looking for a gift for someone else (or yourself) with just some random ideas and come out with an Amazing book that you didn't even know you wanted. The staff know so many books and genres and what's new and hot, and what's a classic. From Children's Books, History, Fiction, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, YA, Drama... Parnassus' staff is worth the jacket price.

Thank goodness for Parnassus! I love having a real bookstore nearby. Everyone that works there is a ninja-level reader and can point you to the perfect book. The last time I went there I had such a lovely conversation with the staff about the books we read, I didn't really want to leave. Also, for a strip mall location, the place has great ambience! Parking is a little competitive at lunchtime, but its worth it! And the rest of the day its usually front row availability.

Nothing smells so good as new books! And Parnassus has it all, great service from knowledgeable booksellers in a beautiful and comfortable setting, wide assortment of books for all interests, and the lovely scent of books!
