★★★★★

“Books, books, and more books. All kinds of books. And cheap. This is an excellent place not only for books, but for collectibles and gadgets. A true treasure hunt. They have a very large DVD collection. I really love their video game selection. They have current games and go as far back as Atari games, A-T-A-R-I-! Wow. The music selection is very good, and well sorted out. They also have a good selection of computer parts and camera attachments. And if you're into retro toys, they got you. And don't forget Funko-Pops, they got aisles of them. And the other awesome thing they do....they will buy you old goodies from you. Either give you cash or store credit. Sometimes it takes them time to get to you, but they'll take care of you. If you want to sell and don't want to wait for a couple hours, I highly suggest going on a weekday as early as possible.”

“Good selection, pretty well organized, and very busy. We live closer to the Chattanooga location so it was fun to see another McKays location. It seems like they need a light for the driveway into their parking lot because people waiting to turn were causing a decent back up on the road.”

— Stephanie Appel
★★★★★

“If you want to read or collect it then they probably have it here. My wife and I stumbled upon this bookstore while on vacation. There's so much in here including a large Christian books section. We found some well known titles but also some lesser known ones that were interesting to browse. The prices are not cheap but they are reasonable. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.”

— Joseph Moore
★★★★★

“This place is about 6,000 sqft of used books, video games, gaming systems and controllers, collectable toys, comic books(not a large selection), used musical instruments, used cameras and lenses, bobble heads, used records, used CDs, used puzzles, used dolls, and I'm sure I'm missing a few other things. You can buy, sell, or trade all these items there.”

— Chris Hampton
