A small independent bookstore in downtown Marquette, MI.  From Avatar627 at TripAdvisor says, “Everything a bookstore should be: cozy, inspiring, welcoming. It was hard not to pick up books to browse but the staff recommendations guided me to two excellent purchases. Staff very personable and clearly love books. If you’re a booklover in Marquette, don’t miss this place!!”
