lowercase books

The dedication the owner has toward ensuring the store is well stocked with interesting books, records, zines, and other art pieces is unseen in other bookstores in the area. This place is vital to the Knoxville community and deserves to be recognized, frequented, and supported more! The great thing is no matter how often you go in, there will always be something new to catch your eye. Book prices here are more than fair. It is possible to gain a bookshelf worth of literature at a small price, and you can feel assured there are no bad choices in the store due to Bryce’s knowledgeable curation. Trade in your books here!

Excellent new and used bookstore with a really superb inventory. The books in each section invariably contain some of the classic works in that genre, in affordable editions, and often with amazing cover or interior art. This is a bookstore for people who like to read books! The owner is very helpful, and is a great source of advice on authors... I find or am recommended something good every time I go in.

I love this place, it's easily one of the best businesses to open in Knoxville. Excellent selection of books with great prices and there are both new and used books. The owner is very knowledgeable about his stock and gives great recommendations. They host a lot of shows here with small and local bands, and I absolutely love going to them. The upcoming shows are listed on the store's website -- if you're interested in getting to know the Knoxville music scene, coming here is a must!

It’s every bookworm’s dream to have a bookstore within a block of their house, and somehow my wildest dreams came true. This is a super cute and endearing bookstore with a very interesting and offbeat inventory, a delightful puzzle selection, and even some vinyls. They often have bands and events, so they’re all-around a great neighbor and addition to Parkridge.

Super cool little used bookstore! The selection was excellent - not the typical used bookstore selection of airport books and romance novels. My sister and I each found 4+ books! Highly recommend.

Cozy vibes and a surprising catalog (left with something I didn't know existed and am very excited to read). Love all the local bands that play here, you wouldn't assume it'd make a good venue but it's like a house show with actual parking. Will be back soon!

I absolutely adored my trip to lowercase books. Bryce was exceedingly kind and helpful, warming in the space with music and his considerate choices in records. I purchased two books and Bryce gave me a lovely bookmark to go with.

The best bookstore I’ve found k-ville. A book lover’s bookstore (the get in your knees and rummage to find treasures kind) filled with new and used, hard to find books. You can spend $20 and leave with an armful of rare finds.

great vibes. great selection & prices on used & rare & vintage books. most used bookstores are cluttered, disorganized, and feel more like sifting through a haystack to find the needle. lowercase book's selection is curated and i feel like i could close my eyes, grab a book, and have made a good and interesting choice. awesome events too.
