We're downtown Knoxville's locally-owned independent bookstore with a great selection of the newly published titles. Our booksellers know books, and we can help you find the right books for you. We can special order anything we don't have on our shelves! We host a variety of local, regional and nationally known authors for readings and book signings. Union Ave Books has been, continues to be, and shall remain an open and safe space for people of all walks of life.
