"The life of a bookseller is very demoralizing to the intellect... He is surrounded by innumerable books; he cannot possibly read them all. He dips into one and picks up a scrap from another. His mind gradually fills itself with miscellaneous flotsam, with superficial opinions, with a thousand half knowledges. Almost unconsciously he begins to rate literature according to what people ask for... That way lies intellectual suicide."

Christopher Morley, The Haunted Bookshop p 25

Some suggestions for purchasing our books:

By visiting our premises in person:
We are located on the Minnesota border, 30 minutes from downtown St. Paul and 40 minutes from the St. Paul-Minneapolis International Airport. If you are coming to Minnesota simply to visit our premises, as many of our customers do, we often can make arrangements to have you met at the airport and driven to Stillwater. Within walking distance of our shop are several excellent hotels and inns, as well as a wide choice of bed-and-breakfasts. Although Stillwater is a small city on the St. Croix River, with perhaps 17,000 inhabitants, it has at least twenty restaurants and as many as a dozen antique shops.

From our website:
We are continually adding books to our online catalog. Every week you can find more of our books for purchase directly through our website. To browse our online catalog, you may use the category tree feature on our homepage. Simply scroll over the category names to reveal subcategories. These in turn may reveal more subcategories, and so on. Click on any of the categories to view a list of its contents.
By desiderata lists (mail, email, fax):
We welcome your inquires about books and your written want lists (please, don't ask us to take down lists of books over the phone!).
Our books are organized on the shelves by author, and it is the author or editor and specific title we need. Want lists should always include at least the author and title.
Please click here to register with us online. After you register and log in, click on the want list button to beginning submitting. There is no fee charged for this service, and there is no obligation on your part to purchase a book we offer you.
By telephone:
Because we have well over 200,000 volumes in stock, and because these volumes are located at several different premises, it has become increasingly difficult to be as helpful over the phone as we would like to be. However, we do welcome telephone calls, but please be patient with us. Generally we can only handle one or two specific requests at a time over the phone.
