Jamie BurkeJanuary 24, 2019Well, there's books. And books with a side of books. Quite a few CDs and LPs hanging around too. Lost 2 hours in here without trying.

Stephanie DAugust 9, 2017The record selection isn't as diverse or well organized as The Great Escape IMHO but I still found a couple of gems (and crazy finds) there. Book selection is great though!
RobynOctober 10, 2016They're known for books, but we like the selection of music, board games and movies they offer as well.
Taste TesterMarch 24, 2015Found movies that are hard to find elsewhere. Great deals mostly, but the newer items cost just about the same as any other store. Spend an entire afternoon here while visiting the food truck outside.
I love this place. Great place to pick up vintage video games. Excellent prices on CD and DVD. Overall a great place to shop. Staff is very good too- Aaron NuellJuly 30, 2015A well-organized large, independent media store. Everything is organized by category with everything from books and music to audiotapes, video games, and other media.
Trade in your old CDs, DVDs and video games for store credit! Shop while you wait! Great selection of books and movies.Upvoted Jan 26
The place to buy books in Nashville. You just have to have patience & know what you are looking for.
Matt BarrowJanuary 8, 2016My wife is from Knoxville where the home store is (Yes, McKays was started in Knoxville) and we try to get here whenever we are in Nashville or Chattanooga
Awesome place to kill time & enjoy what u lie whether ur looking for movies, books or music.
John CodyDecember 27, 2016Thousands of used books, cds and DVDs. We picked up some kids books and a DVD for less than $20. Great value!
Dustin SoperJuly 10, 2018One could spend hours in here on the books alone! Don't forget to check out the music on the top floor.
Andrea McKenzieJuly 7, 2015My friend LOVES to come here! She gets books signed by the author at least 2 times a week! Awesome place!
You can spend hours&money on some great stuff! Always a stop for us whenever we are in town!
Andy StricklandDecember 21, 2015I always find some foreign language jewels here, both books and CDs.

Justin MabeeSeptember 12, 2013Great place, great prices even if you're looking for new. New vinyl on the other hand..similar prices all around.
97executive.comJuly 28, 2013Here are your options for the things you want to sell to us. We'll give you $645.78 in McKay's cash or $12.60 in real cash. Hmmm
AngelaNovember 27, 2012Great place for Christmas gifts! I traded a few old books and got some "new" ones for folks on my Christmas list. Awesome place!
Elizabeth ByersApril 2, 2012Get textbooks here! Tons of nursing school textbooks as well as math courses, biology, and engineering textbooks for students on a budget.
Black Forest HoboSeptember 16, 2018So much stuff you never knew you couldn’t live without. Check the time frequently, it can get away from you.
Rhiannon TJune 18, 2013Just an amazing selection of everything.. my favorite used bookstore and a must stop in TN
Rex HammockDecember 18, 2012The books are filed in a rather creative manner so if you're looking for a specific title, check with the desk to see if it appears in their inventory. You still may not find it, however.
Tons of cheap dirt books, movies, CDs, games, you name it! You can find pretty much anything.
Cliff ThompsonAugust 3, 2013Lots to choose from if you have the patience to do some digging. If you're looking for specific titles, you may be pretty frustrated
McKay's is perhaps the most wonderful place in the Nashville area.
Scott GordonMay 26, 2012The travel section is pretty stocked. Great selection of maps. (but only if you like to party).
Good place to pick up Comics for a decent price.
- Yes I found what I was looking for, but JoeCollege has a better copy.
Wife and I call this place "just give us your paycheck." So much awesome in one place...
Chris KJuly 30, 2012You'll need to spend some time browsing if you expect to find treasures. The organization at the place sucks!
