CatTale's Books & Gifts

Love this store. Great selection of books and novels and gifts. Super atmosphere and staff. Nice location.

A must for nostalgics. Go there. This is a novel experience store, pun intentional. Although it feels like an old library, new and different because it’s not at all like other book sellers today. If you appreciate anything about reading, writing, books or nostalgia, this IS the secret armoire door leading to another time. Step in, get lost. I’ve found difficult to find as well as contemporary titles that I just didn’t want to wait a few days to get- Cat Tales had it! They are priced alluringly, check them first. I’ve saved easily at least $10 off of a cover price, other times significantly more.

Love this store!!! Lots of variety of gifts and interesting things. Easy to find something you like and more than you plan even!!
I always find stuff I like!!
Highly recommend!!!
Theresa, the owner is extremely knowledgeable and helpful!!

It is a darn cool store jam packed floor to ceiling with new to you books. They do have brand new books for sale too. They have a variety of handmade items for gifts and momentos. They Also have a descent rock selection and candles. I spent about 2 hours browsing for books and purchased some rocks for my collection. Great prices too.

Great store!! Have been looking for a book that has been out of print for some time. And guess what, it was there so very pleased!!! Prices are Fantastic. A wonderful experience.

I absolutely love Cat Tales !!! We are so lucky to have this resource available right here in our little town of Brainerd Minnesota !!! Huge selection of books and some very nice other items like stones, incense, and jewelry.

Both for used and new books, this store truly delivers! Also has a delightful array of cards and gifts! Make time for perusing when you visit Brainerd!

Love this shop. And the shop keeper is incredibly knowledgeable; if you’re looking for something specific just ask. They’ll know exactly where it is.

It's a cute little bookstore with a lot of variety. They have kids books, adult books, gem's, candles, and even a thing called "bad music night" where there is a vinyl wrapped up so you can't see who it is by. Usually it'll have some really bad music on it. I have gotten a children's choir singing religious songs, and a jazz cover of some songs I didn't recognize. It's a cute way to sell vinyls!

We absolutely LOVE this store and every time we visit, the smells are amazing and ambiance is so welcoming along with a fabulous owner that is always helpful!

A real gem in Brainerd! My daughter and I wandered in and found a little slice of heaven. The tarot reader is THE BEST. The owner is knowledgeable and so helpful. They have books, jewelry, stones, crafts, soaps, beads, candles, a little of everything. A little zen in a crazy world!

A jaw droppingly large selection of trade paperbacks with a little bit of everything else mixed in. Huge selection of popular romance authors. Everything used is at least 40% off the sticker price, with deeper discounts for trade in credits and selected shelves. Dollar and two dollar titles not uncommon.

They even had a free book rack at the entrance! The second section of the store is new books, so there’s something for everyone. Looooove!

It's a great relaxing atmosphere with a wide selection of books and other wonderful things. Whether your browsing or looking for something specific, CatTale's is a good stop to make.

Amazing place for books (new and old), rocks, tarot cards, candles, and necklaces. The owner is amazing and super helpful and nice. I love this place!!

This place is always awesome. The people here are very helpful, and you will always find something that interests you here.

The owners are very nice people. Very helpful. Very large variety of books. They have a tarot card reader also. She is very good as well. They have many knick knacks too! Warm and inviting.

A nice old style book store with a tremendous selection of new and used books. Staff was very helpful in finding the books that I was searching for. If you're in the Brainerd area and looking for a book store this is it!

Such a nice little used bookstore with reasonable prices. The lady working was also very nice and answered all of my questions. I'll definitely be back when in town.

Great store. New and used books. Games, puzzles, stones, candles grab bags for kids.

Such a wonderful, magical store. I always find treasures. Today it was blue light blocking reading glasses. Super nice people.
