A book cellar, located on Main Street in Harbor Springs, Michigan.
We are a small, independent bookstore with a knowledgeable, well-read staff; a West Highland terrier named Bunter and a beautiful cat named Whimsey. Did I mention that we are across the street from Kilwin’s Chocolates and that we have a fireplace?
