We’re honored (and honestly still a little giddy) to announce that we’ve been voted Detroit’s Best Bookstore in the 2025 ClickOnDetroit “Vote 4 The Best” contest!


This isn’t just another shiny badge for the website. It’s a reminder that we’re part of an incredible community of book lovers, collectors, and all-around original Detroiters.


To everyone who voted, visited, browsed, recommended us to friends, and turned our stacks into a local institution: thank you. You’re the reason we get to keep the lights on and the stories flowing.


Let’s keep making Detroit’s literary scene something worth celebrating.
