This bookstore is everything a bookstore should be: welcoming, cozy, and absolutely awe-inspiring. Jeff took the time to show us the oldest book in the store, along with several of the rarest pieces in the collection. He shared so much knowledge about collectible books, the history of dust jackets, and countless other fascinating details. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed teaching and sharing his passion with us. We will absolutely be back! Our interaction with Jeff was so warm that we’ll remember it for a very long time.

Really a gorgeous store and such wonderful people working there! Visited last year from NY and made it a point to return when I was in Knoxville again. They shipped me this big book I couldn't fit in my carry-on, smooth as butter.

Incredible selection of old books and magazines. Many first editions and signed copies. You can tell the proprietor is passionate about books. I almost don't want to review it lest someone else gets the good stuff before I can come back.

Addison’s is like visiting a fairy tale library! The owner is so kind and friendly, he took the time to unlock and show me his rarest editions. I also got to meet his daughter, whom the store is named after. Such a gorgeous place & has that heavenly old book smell. I never wanted to leave. The books are in excellent condition and priced very fairly.

Nice quiet bookstore with an eclectic collection. Great place to browse unsure of the cool books you might find. They have a chess board, nice chairs and a very cool conference room.
