The first place I would go for all my homeschool book needs. It was usually the only place I would need to look. The whole family would make an afternoon of browsing and reading, and come away the richer. Gosh, we miss Greensboro, precisely for places like Edward McKay.

This is a really nice place to browse for used books, cd's and dvd's. They have an extensive selection of non-fiction books, which is categorized very well. You can find just about anything you are looking for her--plus a lot that you weren't looking for! Their CD collection is pretty good, too. The prices are very fair, and they do a good job processing and buying things from you.

I always leave happy when I visit Ed McKay used books. We have become regulars when it comes to visiting both locations (Greensboro and Winston Salem). The best part about these stores is you can take your old books in and get a store credit that can be used on other books. Its an ongoing cycle. We now buy a lot of our DVDs here and almost all our books. If you visit regularly you will notice usually within 4 to 6 weeks you can find some of the newest books our on the market and the prices are always reasonable. The parking is adequate and the store is clean.

Definitely a great used book store -- great prices! great selection of books, DVDs, VHS, music! great selection of adult titles! The staff is friendly. The store is always clean. The only disappointing feature: their children's book selection. The Greensboro location has an amazing children's selection. I expected to find the same at the Winston Salem selection. Not so. This wouldn't keep me away if I lived in Winston Salem -- but considering I live in Greensboro, I won't be traveling to WS just for McKay's.
PROS: prices, location, selection of adult titles
CONS: selection of children's titles

Edward Mckay's is such a large used book store. They have a really wide variety, and a great selection. You can buy and trade or sell your books here. They are much cheaper than buying them new, and are in great condition. When you've finished with your books, just bring them in and it is pretty painless to sell them or trade them here. Great thing to do with all of your books that you'll never read again and are just sitting around.

Edward Mckay is far and away the best used book store that I have ever visited. When you take in your books, they give you a very fair trade credit and the selection of books (and DVDs, CDs, and more) is terrific! The staff is always friendly and willing to give a recommendation on a book. They have made several suggestions that have ended up being some great books! The store itself is neat and very well organized, with titles where they should be and in order.

Readers, rejoice! Edward McKay opened a used book store in Winston Salem, and it is huge! They have historical, classics, young adult, children, sci-fi/fantasy, plays, cooking, reference, and so many more! They even have audio CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes! The prices are more than reasonable, and the books are in good to excellent shape, from recent releases to old favorite. You're sure to find what you need, or want, at Edward McKay! Just be warned, it can become addicting, like searching for treasures.

I wish I would've known about this place when we moved here 2 year ago! There's some negatives, but the positives FAR outway them. We've discovered the store about a week ago and have been there 4 times already and traded in a few books for store credit as well!
PROS:
Low prices (from gently used to almost new!),
Great Location, Friendly Staff and well staffed--you don't have to wait too long in line!
Have CDs, DVDs, Childrens Books, Lots of Paperback fiction, Classics & Textbooks
All prices we've compared to internet have been lower!
CONS:
That the store isn't bigger...it's almost bursting at the seams!
That the genres are poorly organized, confusing, and the genres' signs are small/sloppy...so you have to ask the staff for help unless you know exactly where your desired genre is located
Warning: if you're looking for fine, hardback editions, etc this may not be for you! Here it's all about bargains!
