Had such a wonderful logistic experience with The Book Catapult-- moved at an inopportune time and my primary concern was receiving my pre-order for Taran Armstrong's "Behind The Mirror" (and a handful of other pre-orders I had floating out there). I've had firsthand annoyance with modifying shipping addresses for many things, but Book Catapult responded within 20 minutes and adjusted the shipping address. As an avid reader with many pre-orders on the horizon, this made moving so much simpler. Thank you, Book Catapult! Oh! And the book is pretty solid, too!

Book Catapult is a fun neighborhood shop tucked into South Park. As a thriller and romance author, I love finding stores like this because I feel a real connection to the area. It was great seeing people walk in, order books, and buy right off the shelf instead of going online. Gives me hope that local bookstores can survive. They carry some more eccentric titles alongside the big names, which makes browsing a lot more interesting. For such a small space, the selection is dense and well curated. The staff is super friendly and seriously knowledgeable.

I love The Book Catapult! Favorite store on the crawl! I make my annual trip during BHM because they care. About my history and all others. A couple trips throughout the year, i buy all my books from The Book Catapult. Awesome selection, even for the kiddos!
