History

Established in 2015.

I have always dreamed of owning my own bookstore, so after years of working in the industry and a fruitless attempt to purchase an existing store, I finally decided to take the leap in mid-​May of 2015. On July 3, 2015 I had a grand opening celebration that was met with great success, and the business continues to thrive, with plans to grow as time goes on.

Business Owner

I love books. I love to smell them, touch them, read them, care for them. I take great pride in everything I do, so you can be comfortable knowing that every book that I carry has been given equal love and adoration.
