Each artist featured is a Skagway local and very in touch with the culture and vibe of the location so you know you are taking home something meaningful and not just another souvenir.

While this storefront is small, there is a great mix of local Alaskan titles as well as national best sellers. I was very glad to find a book written by one of the speakers on my cruise.

Walking into this quaint haven feels like entering a friend's living room, where the shelves may be compact, but each book has been handpicked with care. The delightful worker, a true local gem, doesn't just recommend books; she share stories, anecdotes, and insight of the everyday life in the community. In a town where everyone knows everyone, this bookstore serves as more than just a place to buy books. It's a communal space and a hub where ideas are exchanged. We got a first hand experience seeing how the community interacts. We were able to better understand that the luxuries we take for granted are harder to come by in a remote town such as this. However, people here make due, and look out for each other. We came here on a cruise and are so glad we walked into this bookstore. We definitely recommend!

I don't knit or chochet but my friend does so I bought her a bundle of multi-colored yarn as a souvenir gift from here. She liked the color and was grateful. The lady who worked there was helpful in describing the difference between the yarns.
