BookNerdontheroad: Burke's Book Store (Memphis, TN)

While in Memphis, you’ll see a couple Barnes & Noble stores.  If you dig a little deeper, and venture into the more neighborhood-y areas of Memphis, you might find yourself lucky enough to come across Burke’s Book Store, a new and used bookstore which has been in business since 1875.  Burke’s is located in the Mid-Town area of Memphis, which would absolutely be where I would live if I lived in Memphis.  (Chicago people, think Roscoe Village.)  I was completely charmed by this store, and think you should be too.

Since 1875, y’all.

New and Used books. And typewriters. I trust places with typewriters.

Burke’s Childrens book section is pretty great. There are a lot of chapter books for the slightly older children, but their picture book selection seems very well thought out.

Cozy, cute.

You know you’re in the south when…
