I'm not sure how they fit so many books in this tiny building but they have a wide range. I specifically enjoy politics and history and within 15 seconds of walking in I found a book I was interested in. Another 2 minutes and I found another. I had to remove myself from the bookstore before I ran my bank account into the red, but I did, somewhat greedily, ask for a pin on the way out. I'll be repping the store in Michigan!

Cute little bookstore right on Main Street! For the size, it has a plethora of books, and other knick knacks. Two stories, books are organized by field. There are posters upstairs that are really neat to look at. Kind employees, open and airy ambiance. Everywhere you look has something for someone.

We love an independently owned bookstore! Such a cute place and I wish I could have spent more time here. The staff were all great and helpful.

One of the cutest and friendliest book stores I’ve ever visited. The book store is adorable but you can tell the staff love their jobs. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. They carry a good selection of books along with book themed crafts made by peeps who are from Missouri. The staff helped me pick out a great book and I can’t wait to start reading it. If you’re in St. Charles stop by and support a local bookstore. I’m also super excited to wear my new “book nerd” earrings 🥰🥰

I love a good bookstore and this is the best I've been to in ages. I love how they organized and merchandised the books. Upstairs there were table or shelf displays on a certain topic. My favorite was the display for mythology across the world. And many of the books on that display were able to be face out so you could see the gorgeous book covers and more easily see what kind of mythology book it was. Obsessed! Can't wait to come back. The stairs to the upper floor are narrow and steep FYI but there is a sturdy railing.
