In the past, we’ve told you about Square Books in Oxford. In addition to being enormous, the 3-building bookstore is one of the best in the nation. And while Square Books is well deserving of its accolades, it’s not the state’s only celebrated bookstore. There’s also Turnrow Book Company, which is sure to impress in more ways than one. Take a look:

Opened in 2006, Turnrow Book Company can be found in the Fountain Building in downtown Greenwood. From the outside, it may not look like anything special, but looks can be deceiving.
