Connect with fellow book lovers, stay updated on bookshop events, and discover new independent bookshops.
Tall Tales Books was founded in August 1979. We have always been in the Toco Hills shopping center in Atlanta, near Emory University and the CDC. We are a full-service, independent, new, general interest bookstore. We special order books every single weekday, do out-of-print searches, and wrap presents at lightning speed. Customer service is our middle name (unwieldy, but true). We fancy ourselves book whisperers, one and all. In college, we majored in book recommendations. We're best in person. Come check us out!

We love Tall Tales Books. We always try to shop locally when purchasing books. Since today is Small Business Saturday, I made a trip with my daughters to visit. Rebekah went above and beyond today. I couldn’t decide what I was looking for, so I gave her some titles I have recently enjoyed and she directed me to “take a bench” and she brought me about 10 titles to look at. Once I had whittled a few out of that selection, she gave me more insight on the books, even reading the first sentence of one to show how it grabs you. I really appreciated that extra effort to help me find books I may not have looked at. I am very excited for my new reads. If you are in Atlanta and wanting to shop locally for books, which you always should, please visit Rebekah and the team at Tall Tales Books.

This is a nice ma and pa book shop located in the Toco Hills Shopping Center. The woman at the front was friendly. As soon as I walked in she asked if I needed help finding anything. They have a nice little selection of books from all ages. Since they are a small store their book prices are a little higher than a chain store, but I am all for supporting small businesses. They also have a friendly cat that roams around the store which gives the shop an even friendlier vibe. If you are in the area I definitely recommend checking out what they have to offer.

I wish we had more bookstores like this one. The collection is varied and excellent. I have purchased books from Tall Tales that I did not intend upon entry; it has widened my literary palate for which I am grateful. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable in making recommendations.

I walked right in and asked for a book. She lead me directly to its case, I paid and was out. Clean, efficient and welcoming. I love supporting small businesses! I look forward to returning when I have more time.

I love, LOVE this bookstore. They have a great selection of fiction and non fiction, and a huge corner devoted to kids books. There are really nice gift items like puzzles and paint by numbers kits, and if there's something you need that they don't have they'll order it for you!
Independent bookshops are the heart of local communities. Visit, shop, and help keep them thriving!
