Stopped by this little bookshop on a day trip to Athens and loved it! They have a great selection of books. Shae and Mikey were happy to give recommendations and pull books for me. The book I bought from here was one of the first books that I have read in a long time. I hope to visit again.

My favorite bookstore in Athens! Locally owned. The staff is knowledgable and helpful. Everything is well organized, and if you're looking for something specific and you can't find it, they can order it for you! I picked up a gift certificate and a book for Christmas presents, and they wrapped the book for me for free! I highly recommend. One of my favorite places to take my friends when they visit! 4/8/23 update: still one of my favorite bookstores! I moved out of town recently but still make a point to come visit whenever I'm back!!!

I love Avid bookshop! I occasionally order online from them, and when I'm in the area I am always sure to visit in person. It's such a cute and charming store. They have a wide selection of books and their booksellers are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They also have some great gift subscriptions--I got one for my in-laws and they loved it. I love a local business that offers great service and a unique, welcoming vibe. Hmmm...maybe I should move to Athens?!

Avid is s new and used bookstore with a great staff and fun selection. They have a little bit of everything. It's s boutique, not a warehouse. Plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible.

Great little bookstore. Great staff. It's still growing, but a very interesting selection to browse, and great puzzles. I got a book and a puzzle. Great place if you really don't know what you want to read next.

This is an absolutely wonderful bookstore. They have a very well curated collection, staff picks with small cards of information clearly laying out the reasons readers will enjoy a work, a warm atmosphere and equally warm and friendly associates. They also have a great selection of used books at great prices! It is my highest recommendation to support Avid. I certainly will continue to do so!

Adorable bookstore in Five Points in Athens. We were greeted by friendly customer service as we walked in and we instantly noticed all the little quirks and attention to detail that made Avid what it was. There were handwritten notes about each section of books with recomendations about what to read, a kids section for the younger reader, and a lot of cool gifts such as different types of pens, pins, magnets, stickers, and even music boxes that play classic songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. All the while they were playing some great music. I'm not the reader, my girlfriend is. I'd like to return. It was enjoyable!

A delightful one-stop shop for thoughtfully curated books and gifts. They even have complementary hot tea to sip on while browsing! Such a cozy nook to sit and relax in while shopping or reading. You can really tell the owner cares about the total experience. Love the new location!

Very good book shop! Book selection is somewhat limited but they are actively expanding it (understandable as they recently changed locations). I also love the selection of seating and free drinks. Great staff and cool place! 10/10
