About Bookish

Bookish is East Atlanta's indie bookstore, located at 1188 Glenwood Ave SE at the corner of Moreland and Glenwood in East Atlanta Village. The shop offers a diverse selection of fiction and non-fiction, with a curated focus on titles from the margins, spotlighting female, BIPOC, and queer authors. Beyond books, Bookish carries zines, art prints, stickers, bookmarks, cards, puzzles, and gifts, along with house-made merchandise for shoppers looking for something beyond the shelf. The store is engaged with its surrounding community in several ways. Bookish runs book clubs for readers who want to discuss what they're reading with others, and it distributes harm reduction supplies, including Plan B, condoms, Narcan, and fentanyl detection kits, free of charge. The shop also partners with several local organizations on meal distribution and civic engagement initiatives, reflecting a broader commitment to neighborhood support beyond bookselling. Bookish is intentional about what it stocks, stating that it does not carry titles promoting racism, misogyny, fascism, homophobia, or transphobia. This curation approach shapes the overall character of the store as a values-driven space within East Atlanta Village. The shop is open Tuesday through Friday from 12 to 6 PM and Saturday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, and is closed on Mondays. Customers can reach Bookish by phone at (404) 496-8722 for questions about inventory, book club schedules, or community partnership programs.
