Connect with fellow book lovers, stay updated on bookshop events, and discover new independent bookshops.
Our small but mighty bookshop is in the heart of downtown Columbia, Missouri. We carry a selection of new and used books in all subjects. We are a husband and wife team who have always dreamed of owning a bookshop: a little place where poetry readings, childrens story time, and author readings could thrive in a supportive community. We believe in the importance of books and their ability to transform the minds and lives of readers, as they have transformed ours. By supporting our dream, you are continuing the life of downtown Columbias bookstore and contributing to the cultural life of the city.

Absolutely top-notch. They buy your (interesting and in good shape) used books, their book prices are excellent and the selection is endlessly fascinating. I picked up one today about Einstein’s love life. Really. By far the best bookstore in Columbia, better than the other one down the block.

This will be my favorite bookshop from now. I went there a few days ago and buy some books. I wonder how this small place gives great experiences. I love it.

Do yourself a favor. Find another bookstore. Very rude employees. Horrible selection. Overpriced books.

A great local used (and some new) book store. I always go here to look for deals or even some collectors items. Staff are always friendly. And dont let the small size fool you; there are some great options in here.
