An adorable bookstore with a nice selection for all ages! This place had the best bookish posters and local art. Wish I lived closer so I could come more often

The Bookman is one of the dying breed, a small town, independent book store and it doesn’t disappoint. Stop in and browse, chat and buy your favorite books. Or join in a book club or an author’s discussion. It’s a delightful slice of Americana.
