WOW! We’re overjoyed to be celebrating our 6th Year! Warm thanks to our customers, collaborators and friends who support our efforts. It truly does take a village and we appreciate all of you.

While there’s really no substitution for being inside a bookstore, if you can’t make it in or prefer to order books online, you can support us by shopping here. Thank you!

Contact us with questions, special orders or to be added to our email list.

Take a peak inside … and come hook a book!

Meet Janna: Our book guru and captain. Janna Gage is a true Skagit Valley pioneer. After growing up on the river, she lived in Bellingham, Seattle, the Midwest and Northern California before settling back in La Conner. A librarian (now retired) and author, she has long had a vision of creating a bookstore that showcases the Pacific Northwest and brings writers and community together. When she’s not busy ordering new books, stocking our shelves, meeting with authors, researching, writing or editing; you’ll find her at the Waterfront Cafe enjoying her favorite fish and chips.
