Awesome bookstore. Went twice during our time in Savannah. Was never able to meet the owner, but met her son and a friend of family who were running it while she was on her vacation. We visited three books stores in Savannah and this was my favorite. Very charming and love the way it is set up. Every book has a card with edition and price and any added little note. She puts a lot of care into her shop. I love it. I purchased two books on Wednesday and Today I purchased six books. I am so overwhelmed with unspeakable joy as I purchased my favorite Savannah series by Eugenia Price signed and first editions. I will definitely be visiting this shop again when I return. Thank you for a wonderful experience. KarenAnn

This is the most beautiful book store in Savannah. If you are looking for any collectible book this the perfect spot. It has a vast selection of Nancy Drew books, which is where I completed my collection.

Betsy provided exceptional service and telling us about Savannah and its stories! Very welcoming and warm to us the entire time. She went over the top to show us around her beautiful book store, and thrilled my girlfriend with her tales of acquiring the vast amount of Nancy Drew books in her store. I recommend her store over all the others in this area!

I have never been to a niche bookstore like this before. They had first editions, special and signed copies, and collectors editions. They also posted a few collector guides for popular series like Nancy drew, boxcar kids, etc. There was a small pop culture section and there were some cheap paperbacks in a back corner. It seems like they buy books If you have something good they could resell. They had free snacks too which isn't important but I just thought it was really sweet. The lady at the front desk seemed really kind and knowledable.

Books on Bay in Savannah is a wonderful spot for book lovers! The store is full of character, with shelves packed with vintage and classic books that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The selection is somewhat limited in terms of subjects, but it’s still a place you absolutely need to visit, full of charm, history, and that magical old-book smell!

A TREASURE! The perfect place to peruse vintage and collector-edition books. Pick up your copy of “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” here - it comes with a free printout of a walking tour to all the locations in the book!

Small bookstore, but what a great selection. There were lots of vintage and antique volumes in excellent condition. I also found some local history books there which is what I was looking for. If you are walking the city and checking out the squares, definitely stop in and have a look around.
