This is a jewel for Campbellsville right in the heart of downtown. I discovered this gem of a bookstore during a weekend trip from Cincinnati. Friendly service and well organized, it's the kind of a place you want to spend time. Prices are very reasonable and a great selection to chose from.

Great store. Amazing staff! I went in looking for an older book. When I realized that they did not have it, I decided to see if it could be ordered. The person at the counter not only found the book but was able to order it for one of the cheapest prices that I have been able to find. Wonderful experience.

What a perfectly quaint and delicious little shop! Mostly vintage, with some newer books, priced fairly! The energy in this little shop is amazing and exactly what I wish for more of, in Campbellsville. Oh, it’s a perfect mix of items, including vintage clothing, novelty items and books. The owner was on site and nice to visit with.

The Backwoods Barnes and Nobles. The bookstore that could be in every city. Unique and one of a kind.

Really cool items! Loads of antique and vintage items in really sweet setting. the shop looks beautiful and makes you feel like you could serendipitously come across a book that will change your life or take you on a strange journey or something. They also have some home goods, stationary, records and clothing. I bought a play and a scarf. They have a really great collection of children's books and an oddly large and comprehensive selection of books about China and Chinese literature.
