Welcome

Located in the heart of the Cooper-Young neighborhood, in midtown Memphis, Burke's Book Store is one of the oldest independent book stores in the country. Since 1875, Burke's has provided Memphis with the finest selection of new, used, and rare books.

Used and Rare Books
We stock used titles in a variety of subjects (see "Browse Categories" at lower left), as well as first editions, signed copies, and rare books. We currently have approximately 13,000 of our used and rare items listed here on our site for you to browse or search. Titles are added on a daily basis, so browse often. Please see Terms of Sale for online ordering information. If you wish to be notified automatically via e-mail of new arrivals in your areas of interest, please enter your e-mail address in the Topic Notification space provided at the left and select subjects from the menu.
New Books
We also stock new titles in our store, with particular concentration on newly published fiction and nonfiction, paperback classics, fiction and literature, Memphis writers and history, and southern literature. We will feature some of our new titles (see list at upper left) here. If you are looking for a particular new title, please give us a call or visit our store.

Special Orders                                                                                                                            
If we do not have a particular title that you need, we can special order new titles from our distributor at no extra charge. Typical arrival time for special orders is 2 to 3 days.

Burke's 135th Anniversary





2010 marks the 135th anniversary of Burke's Book Store!


To commemorate this event, we will be selling limited edition handmade posters (see image at left) that feature a photograph of the original store on Main Street as well as a quote from John Updike. These posters have been made by book artist and printer Terry Chouinard and will be $20 each.
