Indie Book Stores

Love indie book stores? All year round it's fun to browse in indie bookstores where you can often find recommended reads from the staff. Each April, you can celebrate Independent Bookstore Day by shopping at your local bookstore for special promotions, book signing events and sale items. Many Scenic Shopping towns have excellent independent book stores. You can find new, used, rare and special interest books among these sellers. These indies are open year round and also have online stores. They have great service and helpful book sellers.

Due to Covid-19, many are offering online shopping, curbside pickup, and limited occupancy shopping for mask wearing customers. They can order hard to get books, offer gifting ideas and provide signed copies of select books, especially those of local writers. Support indie book shops so that they will be in business for years to come. Explore their websites or call these independent bookstores and patronize them during the holidays and all year round. We can help our book stores and they can help us.

Here is a list of book shops located in and near Scenic Shopping towns along with links to their websites. Check with the booksellers to confirm delivery dates.
