A new chapter

Help us with our upcoming move and earn exclusive bookish swag!

As we celebrate the fourth anniversary of our bookstore in Columbus, Mississippi, we are saying goodbye to our original location at the end of the year. We’ll remain open at 118 5th Street North until Christmas Eve, so stop by and see us for your holiday shopping. When the new year comes, our home will be at 423 Main Street.

Shop the books featured at this year’s Eudora Welty Writers’ Symposium at Bookshop.org or in store! Give us a call at (662) 570-4247 to place an order with $5 shipping.
