What makes Atlanta's A Cappella Books the smartest bookstore in town? Probably the same things that make you smart. Like you, we love books. Corporate bookstores depend on best-sellers, books that, as soon as their marketing blitz is over, quietly recede into oblivion. At A Cappella Books, we don't think of our customers as mass culture consumers. And we don't think of our books merely as merchandise. We like to think of the books as permanent literature, books you will find just as enjoyable, interesting and important years from now as you do today. We specialize in out-of-print and rare books -- titles the corporate book stores have forgotten -- but we also carry used copies of current books, new books the bigger stores overlook, as well as some of the same titles you’ll find everywhere else, but that we just happen to like. Many of our new books are discounted, our used books sell for half of the current in-print price and our out-of-print and rare books are priced at the low-end of the market. So whatever your book-buying budget, you'll find great values at A Cappella Books, from our glass display cases housing books worth hundreds of dollars to our paperback shelves where our books are generally just a couple of dollars, and on our sidewalk racks where they're even lower than that. Next time you're in the Little Five Points area for a play at the Horizon Theater or Seven Stages, a concert at the Variety Playhouse, a visit to the Carter Center or the King Memorial, or just for a bite at Sotto Sotto, Wisteria, or Babette's, please stop in to browse. If you love books, you’ll be glad you did. | ||
