    My absolute favorite independent bookstore in the area. Very easy to order online and extremely helpful when in person. I haven't been to any of their events- it's a goal for 2023.

    Wonderful selection and charm!

    Awesome local book store! I love all the little notes around the store giving a quick summary of the books. They were fun to read!

    I drove over on a Saturday afternoon, and easily found the building just off Hwy 83. The…read morestorefront sign would be hard to miss, and the parking is pretty good too. Inside, the store gives a nostalgic feel, with a few old Underwood typewriters displayed to give even more an old-timey punch. I easily navigated my way through the store, seeing the different genre sections clearly posted (Poetry, Non-fiction, etc.). I bought two books at $17.95 ea, but found others that interested me at around $24.95 ea. Not all books are sticker price labeled...on older books, they write a price in pencil inside book on front page! As a local (Wisconsin) writer, it's nice to find a bookstore that offers selected writings in an atmospheric way that big chain-stores just cannot duplicate!

    Rare Vision Books is a fantastic find in the quaint town of Genesee Depot! Everyone should take a…read moreday trip to this tiny town with great things to see and do. This small shop on the main street that cuts through town offers a glimpse into literary magic. They offer beautiful vintage and unique books that you won't find anywhere else. It was like a treasure hunt, looking to discover special books you didn't know you wanted - and some you have been looking for, for ages! The owner is just as special - so friendly and welcoming. It felt like I was visiting their home. They chatted about their love of books and easily assisted us on our hunt. Rare Vision Books is right next to Mama D's Coffee so you can plan a perfect afternoon of coffee and reading...

The merchandise is equal parts books and products from local artists (and local beekeepers and Kombucha brewers!).I purchased a used book that I'd been wanting (for $2!), a jar of local honey, and spent some time speaking with the charming owner about the history of the building. It's a former bank, and the mystery section is located in the bank vault. Look a little closer at a counter where books are displayed - that's bullet proof glass and gun portals from another era. The Book Teller is definitely worth a visit, even if you're not much of a shopper - but if you are a shopper, you will love the handmade jewelry and textile products found here at very reasonable prices.

    I like this place! It's a small shop in the middle of town that offers used books, new books, and…read morethe wares of local artists. You can also find some nice coffee there as well. The shop is in an old bank building, and the building's features - teller wall and vault - are in use. The shop is organized well and beautiful, and is a comfortable place to visit. There is a children's section, and there is interesting availability in other genre's, considering the size of the store. Most of all, I think I appreciate the genuine community focus and the non-pretentious feel of interacting with others. I understand that they host community gatherings, which I hope to experience soon. Otherwise, I will be there on the next day that I'm ready to read something new and have no idea what it should be.

At checkout I asked if they have a rewards program which they do not however right now they have a summer reading program promo (for adults even!) which is super neat! So make sure to ask about this and find a new book to read. I'm kicking off my summer reading from their LGBTQ display they had set up. Wolfsong - it's really good one day in and already 100 pages through it! It's well written and just keeps leaving unanswered questions which is why I can't put it down currently! Also the book itself is stunning.
