Hello everyone.
Time is sure flying. We are busy stocking the store with lots of interesting and fun books and gift items just in time for your holiday shopping. Saturday, December 4th is an exciting day at our store. Not only do we have two great authors signing books but it is also the annual tree lighting outside our shop in the Milton Square courtyard. Santa and Mrs. Claus are scheduled for an appearance too.
We have some beautiful handmade cribbage boards, Oriole Bird Feeders and cutting boards by local Minnesota Craftsman, Bob De Steno.
Minnesota made stickers, glassware, magnets, puzzles, candles, etc. can all be found alongside our talented Minnesota Authored Books.
Your little one will love snuggling with their very own "Stormy" the dog featured in author Belinda Jensen's 'Bel the Weather Girl' series which are sold in the store. We just got in a supply. Get yours while they last.
Also just in is another adorable pup, "Raven" featured on Minnesota Bound. We got in some of these plush dogs in preparation for our exciting visit by Author/TV Personality/Outdoorsman Ron Schara on December 4th.
We have new releases and old favorites on our shelves.
Don't forget to take a look at our beautiful ceiling mural by the talented, Muralist and Street Painter, Shawn McCann.
We've also been featured on The Indie Bob Spot! Thanks, Bob, for all your kind words!
Check out our upcoming events.
We hope to see you soon.

Our Story
Rick and I wanted to open a place where we offered books and gifts for sale in a friendly, comfortable space. We feel so lucky to be in such a unique building at Milton Square in St. Anthony Park. The building was designed in 1909 and additional structures were built in 1912.
The neighborhood has such an inviting atmosphere and is always full of activity. We have already met so many friendly people.
We have lived in Minnesota all our lives. Our love of books and the value we place on the importance of reading led us down this path to our own store. We want to be a place where people can come in and find an old favorite, find something new and talk with other people who love books. If you don’t see something you are looking for just let us know and we can order it for you. We offer books for all ages, kids through adults.
We also wanted to offer some unique gifts and feel that we have been able to find some interesting items.
We look forward to meeting you!
Sue & Rick
