I came here on 11/25/2023 for the first time.I was helped by the nicest person, I unfortunately did not catch her name. She was helpful, knowledgeable and just overall amazing!I joked that she was my new best friend (so if she sees this, you are amazing!!!!)I will definitely be going back!!!

This is the best bookstore in the state! The owners are lovely, inclusive people and the selection of contemporary and classic literature is on point. I live about 3 hours from Helena, but make it a point to stop in Montana Book Co. every time I am in the Capitol. I love this place!
Indie, radical progressive, queer-owned book store with books for adults and children, gifts, stationery, as well as new and used vinyl.
We believe in community-building, justice and fairness-seeking. We believe Black Lives Matter. We give money back to our community nonprofits, schools, clubs, faith organizations doing the work of welcoming all, search and rescue, and national groups such as The Equal Justice Initiative.
And we are also full of snark. And bad words. We like bad words.
If we don’t have what you’re looking for, it’s likely we will find it and special order it just for you. We will even ship it.
Serving Helena for over 45 years!
