The Bookstore

Searching for a copy of Tisha by Robert Specht (the tale of a teacher in Alaska in the 1920s) whilst I was on an Alaskan cruise, I visited this store. It was open even though it was meant to be closed. Special thanks to the friendly owner who searched her shelves for this title and finding nothing new or saleable secondhand, found an ancient mass paperback copy hidden in her office and gave it to me. Of course then I had to buy a selection of other items, which was not hard as The Bookstore was full of attractive items. Do visit even if you think it maybe closed.
PS The book is now in Australia

Amy is a kind and thoughtful shopkeeper and her store is full of a lovely curation of stationery, home goods, and - of course - books. I live in Fairbanks, and The Bookstore in Haines is my favorite bookstore statewide. If you’re visiting Haines, you must stop in! Or if you live far away, you should absolutely order from Amy’s shop ♥

The Bookstore was recommended to me by a gallery owner in Haines (Amy- Steve told me to tell you Hi!). I am SO glad we stopped in this bookstore. A wonderfully curated collection of books, I wanted to buy every book in the shop. Just lovely!
