You're sure to find the magic of books just a few steps down a staircase from a bustling street in a quaint downtown in Georgia, where a hundred-year-old basement holds an archway made of books, a fireplace stuffed with letters from a school for sorcery, and bookshelves full of stories ready to enchant you. Underground Books is a charmingly eccentric bookshop actually located underground, several steps below street level in historic downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Co-owners Megan and Josh met 10 days after Josh opened the doors in 2011 when Megan wandered in, and the rest is history! Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned community of Serenbe, with a selection that emphasizes nature and the arts.
