We stumbled on this magical bookshop and it ended up being the highlight of our weekend getaway! It’s 3 hours away for us but well worth the drive. Susan is the most wonderful, kind, helpful angel. We had so much fun learning about the shop and exploring every room. We ended up leaving with two huge stacks of books for an incredible bargain. It’s a lovely cause and a hidden gem. Absolutely worth a visit and their online shop is updated daily! This is a must-see!!

This is a really special place. I’ve never been to a place like this and it really shows a small town’s value. I love exploring little towns and small shops and this one will go down as my favorite. The owner is adorable and really loves books and helping others. I was gifted a cup of coffee, purchased a large bag of books for $50 and was offered a pretty set of china! I’ll be returning to donate books and probably find another bag of books in a few months. It’s worth the drive!

My wife and daughters were doing the Bookstore Passport and stopped by Susan’s. Susan welcomed us in as if we were relatives. They has such a good assortment of books and the puzzle room is fantastic.

We’ve hit up this bookstore more than 1 time. They have a wonderful selection of good books. Lots of great stuff for kids like puzzles and other toys. A spot to stop when in the area.

Great to meet Susan, very personable. I was so grateful to get to pick out 75 FREE books for my classroom.

Susan is one of the sweetest people on the planet. You should visit her store just for the pleasure of meeting her…let alone to see her selection of books.

This is the coolest store I have EVER been to. I recently heard about a nearby bookstore selling a large brown paper bag “all you can fit” of books for only $50, and I thought I’d stop in and work on building out my home library. I had no idea that I would be walking into my new favorite place on earth! This store has an UNBELIEVABLE collection of very cool (and hard to find) books, puzzles, toys and gifts, and a fun, whimsical vibe that made me want to stay the entire day (and I almost did)! I would literally travel hours to come here, and I imagine many people do! I left with a huge bag of books and an even bigger smile. And this is to say nothing of the LOVELY Susan herself and her wonderful husband, Stu. I enjoyed meeting them even more than I enjoyed picking out my HUGE bag of books, and that’s really saying something. I can’t wait to come back and buy even more books!! And they made it so you can “fill your bag” online or buy a “bag” of books for someone as a gift that they can pick out themselves (in store or online)! Just genius. If you like books, if you have children, or if you want to feel like you’re in a hallmark movie visiting the local adorable cozy bookshop, stop in. They have everything from history books (LOTS of fascinating books about World War II and the Civil War in particular) to gardening and hobby books, to mysteries and even a whole section dedicated to Christmas books! Just amazing.

The store is amazing. Susan is very friendly and helpful. She is also serious about paying your mileage and will not take no for an answer when asked. Her store is unique. There is a room for kids to play in while parents shop. It is worth a drive to check out!!!
