The absolutely best bookstore around! The booksellers here are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and will go above and beyond for you. Plus there are two adorable cats to see and pet. Great selection and even a great kids and middle-reader area too! If you’re in Lawrence this is a must!

We stop every time we're in town! My girls love to pester the cats and I love supporting a local bookstore. The staff is super friendly and there's always something interesting to find on the shelves.
