Oh. My. Gosh. It's a book mecca! Incredible prices, amazing selection, and very helpful employees. Reserve several hours on your first visit to get through the entire store. You'll need it.

I love this place so much. I love getting lost here. all kinds of finds and their manga section is something to behold. some aisles really do feel like they will topple over you if you bumped into them too hard but other than that this is book lover's heaven. I included some single book images, including ones I purchased, so you can really see the range of stuff you can find in every nook and cranny. nice prices too, I'd say going to a place like this and not once saying "this cost is outrageous" is a good sign.

I LOVE this book store. It’s probably the best used book store that I have ever visited. I feel like I am walking through my own mind. I love learning. I can walk down these narrow aisles, stop at a section and be engrossed for an hour. I was able to purchase the engineering textbooks that I regretted getting rid of. I have a small library of books about the Beatles that I can’t wait to read so I can become a super-super-fan. What you need to know, the aisles are narrow. Of course, there is the fragrance of cultured wisdom and knowledge but also it’s a bit musty. After all, they are books that sat in your house in a box for years. For someone like me, the closeness of the shelves and the anticipation around the next end cap are like sitting on the most comfortable couch, with only the light of a warm crackling fire and enjoying the soft twinkle of the lights on a Christmas tree. For some people, the intensity of the aisles can be overwhelming. I hope you find the right used book store for you. It is extremely difficult for me to explain the visceral difference between reading a story by a master craftsman on a printed page and reading the same story on a sterile screen. I hope that you have close friends like I do when I visit Chamblin Bookmine … Heinlein, Tolkien, Lewis, Card and Clancy.

I just love the feel here! Endless books and you can get lost inside. As a photographer, I love the spot for photos but only when they are not busy and always call before showing up to let the staff know. It’s amazing here!

This place is a bookworms dream! If you can't find it here, it likely isn't in existence. Come as soon as the doors open, you'll be here a while. Everyone is kind and helpful. There are also some amazing editions available as well.

Prices are pretty good. So many aisles I’m sure you can find anything you’re searching for. Only thing I didn’t see was a children’s section but it was my first time here and it was pretty busy. I didn’t know I can bring in my used books so that’s a plus, can’t wait to visit again.

Greatest book store of all time. Everything you can dream of! We spend hours wondering the maze getting lost in stories, new worlds capturing our imaginations, exploring ancient worlds and bringing home stacks of adventures

This place is probably my most favorite bookstore that I have ever been to. Whatever you are looking for they probably have it. Looking for some kids books? They got them. Looking for an old old book that you won't find anywhere else? They probably have it. Looking for a how to book? They probably have it. New book? Got it! Looking for a signed copy of your favorite author? Yep! That to. This place is a Labyrinth of magic within their aisles upon aisles of the happiest places traveled by mind. I am so happy that I now got to share this joy with my child. Chamblin Bookmine, I look forward to seeing you again.

Chamblin Bookmine is an incredible bookstore and a must-visit for book lovers. It’s dog friendly and has hundreds of aisles to wander through, so you can easily spend hours exploring. There is a directory hanging in the ends of shelves to help direct you, very helpful if you are short on time. If you’re looking for the kids’ section, just keep wandering all the way to the back—you’ll find it there. There’s also a bathroom conveniently located near the kids’ area, which is really helpful if you have little ones with you. The only challenge is parking—it’s pretty limited. We ended up parking about half a mile away at Publix and walking over. Even with that, it was absolutely worth the visit! 📚🐾

It's a treasure hunt, for sure. But so many great books at amazing prices!! And the guy helping us was kind, funny, and very helpful. If you love books, I think you need to check out this place. So worth it!!! I was there with 3 girlfriends and we all LOVED it!
