Bookseller Review: Edward McKay Used Books

Edward McKay Used Books & More
115 Oakwood Dr.
Winston-Salem, NC
336.724.6133


Edward McKay is a used-book store chain in North Carolina. Their Winston-Salem store has over 10,000 square feet of used books, textbooks, audiobooks, CDs, vinyl records, DVDs, VHS, and video games. Their inventory comes mostly from the public, so their stock changes every day. 

What we like:
There are certainly a ton of titles, and store is well-organized and easy to browse.

What we don't like: For us, many of the editions are too new, likely many of them being used in recent college courses. And we prefer our used-book stores to not also have "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" movie posters hanging on the wall.

Would we go again? Not likely if we go back to Winston-Salem, but we're not opposed to checking out some of the other Edward McKay stores in North Carolina.

This dump just fired my fiance and it was his THIRD DAY working there. I guess when they wanted "expirenced cashiers" they wanted people with a brain of a robot like a photographic memory. I bet that they fired him because he has ADHD and cannot learn as quickly as they THINK they can, especially that White Trash-looking district manager that comes up there from time to time. The way how they hire then fire employees like that, and get this, NO HALF AN HOUR BREAK WHICH IS COMPLETELY AGAINST LABOR LAWS, someone should report them to the State Department of Labor!

Edwin Mckay: I've just posted a status on my page telling people not to come here at all. You are not a conglomerate to be having a "cashier's assessment" that even corporate giants who can take the small amount of money this dinky company makes TO DINNER, would not even burden their cashiers with that CRAP! Stop trying to be something that you're trying so hard to be, like Amazon or Barnes and Nobles. Get your head out your asses and DEAL WITH IT! YOU'RE NOT!
