Very cute posh bookstore owned by author Ann Patchett. My mom was super excited to buy her new book here, and of course Ann has signed all the copies of all her books she sells in the bookstore, even the two picture books. Was pleased to see the bookstore carries old classics as well, and not just new books.

I love this place so much. It's everything you want in an indie bookstore! Cozy and charming, with a great selection of books and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Parnassus is a bibliophile's dream! And as a bonus, the parking situation

I want to love this bookstore, but the people that work there are extremely loud. Talking softly is one thing, but they were so loud that I couldn’t focus. I was hoping for a quiet place to browse, but had to leave. I’m from San Francisco

Independent bookstore owned by Ann Patchett. In 2023 she began, “Office Hours,” in which she was in the store every Monday from 1:00-2:00 to sign books. She is as gracious as you would think and the staff obviously loves her and the store.

I moved away from Nashville almost 5yrs ago but Parnassus Books is still where I order 95% of my books and where I request ALL of my book gifts from. We also have their mugs which are our FAVORITE household mugs and I recently got one of

I dropped by on my last day in Nashville and this is a delightful bookshop. They have a wonderful selection, fantastic staff (thanks Cheryl), and a sweet store puppy (Hi Winnie!). Absolutely a must stop when you are in Nashville!

Parnassus is one of my favorite bookstores. There is a great selection of books, the staff is extremely helpful, and I love the layout of the bookstore. I always leave the store with more books than I planned on buying!

My daughter loved the kid's section. The selection was nice and I enjoyed how things were highlighted such as local authors and book club reads. Staff were extremely helpful and polite. Definitely plan on coming back.

Such a really cool bookstore & everyone that works there was really nice. There are so many neat little easter eggs & things for people that love books & art. I've really missed going to places like this.

Independent boom store owned by author, Anne Patchett located in Green Hills. Step into a world of wonder of books, attend a discussion, and grab some gifts! Definitely check this bookstore out!

This bookstore is a celebration of books & readers. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and so enthusiastic about books, authors & how books can create community. They also love dogs!

Delightful book store, atmosphere makes you want to stay awhile. Great selection and organization. I know space is a limitation, but it would be nice to have more reading nooks.

Super cute bookstore! There were a couple of seating areas and just enough sunlight inside. All that's needed to make this perfect is a little coffee shop inside.

This bookstore is SO cool. It’s well curated and has wonderful vibes and cute bookish things. I got the cutest cat tote bag here! Very friendly staff!

Relaxing and aesthetically pleasing space. Listening to authors speak in this intiimate setting is a sanctuary. Thank you

I love the atmosphere. Love to browse their book shelves. I belong to their Bookclubs and attend author talks often.

Beautiful book store. I recently attended a special book release event and loved it.

Adorable book store with local authors. Got a signed copy of Ann Patchetts book!
