Welcome!
Thanks for visiting our internet store! We may be a summertime stop for many of you, but now you can visit us online all year long. We'll keep you in touch with new Mackinac and Michigan releases that your local shop might not get as excited about as we do. And though we specialize in Mackinac Island and Northern Michigan items, we are a full service book store. If you don't see it on this site, just email us, and we probably have it, or can get it for you. And when spring comes, please visit us on Mackinac Island, or stop by our Mackinaw City store for a cup of the best coffee around. (FREE SHIPPING ON DOMESTIC ORDERS OVER $75.00)
