    This is my favorite book shop in the area and the only book shop in Harbor Springs. Located on the…read moremain street in one of the cutest downtowns you'll ever see, this book shop is small, yet mighty. They always have new book releases, as well as classics, kid's books, biographies, history books and more. They also have some cool greeting cards and mini gifts. During COVID19, the book shop is only letting people in who have appointments, but will happily let you call in and order any books for pick up. You can pay over the phone, and they have a cute rack outside the shop with books labeled by the names of those who purchased them to pick up. I checked their Facebook page to see a few of the new books they'd gotten in recently, emailed them with my phone number, and they called back within the hour. I paid over the phone, stopped by 30 minutes later, and grabbed the book with my name from their outdoor rack. Super easy and cute! I'm so in love with the book I got and was so happy I found this place, as I'd run out of books for vacation!

    I can only reiterate what others have said. This bookstore is fantastic!!…read more Despite being a small sized store, it's packed with any type of book you'd like. Local authors, newly released, sci fi, fiction, current events, children's books. You name it, they have it! They also had a nice selection of stationary and gift items. As others mentioned, the staff are friendly and extremely informative! I purchased two books and can't wait to start them! I highly recommend this bookstore!

    Very lovely shop. This was the first store we ended up stopping at in downtown Petoskey today…read more A few of their coasters and artwork is from City Bird in Detroit too, which was funny - I have been there before (and that's a nice shop as well). I bought a corgi pin for $2 here (I love corgis) and wanted some of the prints/artwork too, but they were a bit pricey. They also have earrings/jewelry and a nice selection of Petoskey and non-Petoskey related gifts. The only reason I'm giving it 4/5 stars and not 5/5 is because they obviously have a bathroom, and it says OUT OF ORDER, but my guess is that it's not (where else would the employees go?) and perhaps that's COVID-related ... which is fine, but maybe just put EMPLOYEES ONLY instead. We went next door to Grandpa Shorter's and the employee there recommended the public bathrooms to us, so we took a bit of a hike down the street to the lake instead (pro tip: next time just go next door to the bookstore, they have one in the basement!). So yeah, I was a bit disappointed by that ... I could be totally wrong on this speculation but I've seen other businesses do that too. Other than that, very nice shop and they have super cute stuff, so I'd return next time I'm in Petoskey.

    We went in here for a present for my grandpa and we're greeted by Philip and Jess. They were…read moreamazing and very helpful! This store has many personal and cool gifts!! I would highly recommend this place to any in the area. 10/10 would come back
