• Novelist Ann Patchett founded this independent shop when both of Nashville's bookstores closed. It's named after Mt. Parnassus, which in mythology is the home of music, literature, and learning.

• I love that this place exists! Great atmosphere, I could get lost for hours. And the tiny entryway to the kids area makes me feel like a child again, full of wonder.

• If you can't find a book, just ask, they're most likely to know where it is or have it in storage

• Helpful staff and a wonderful book store. Decent pricing for new books. (I say new because I also buy used-not sure if parnassus sells used or not)
