About Us

We are a bricks & mortar storefront in a 135 year old building filled with books.  We have been in business since 1969 and now we're giving the 21st century a try and tackling internet sales.

We have been in the same location in the heart of historic downtown Monroe, Michigan for over 35 years. 

We have always been a "new" bookstore but in 1996 we added "used" books to the mix.

There have only been two owners since our inception and the second and current owner, Janet, worked for the first and original owner, Mary. 

Conservatively speaking, we have over 60,000 new books and over 12,000 used books and counting. 

Please let us know what you're looking for!  Many titles are not on our database yet. Sometimes we even surprise ourselves.
