Revered As The Most Beautiful Bookstore In America, Mississippi’s Turnrow Book Company Is A Must-See
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.
In addition to popular titles that you’ll find at any other bookstore, Turnrow Book Company stocks regional reads, such as cookbooks as well as Southern and Delta literature.
But it’s not just adult literary lovers who can appreciate what the store has to offer. Turnrow Book Company features an extensive children’s section – and that’s in addition to hosting a variety of kid’s events with authors and illustrators.
The variety of merchandise and slew of events aren’t the only things that set Turnrow Book Company apart from others, though. There’s also its appearance – it’s often referred to as one of the most beautiful bookstores in America!
Modeled after old European libraries, Turnrow Book Company has an open, airy feel. Beautiful lighting and other intricate details, perfectly complete the old world feel.
As if it couldn’t get any better, there’s a mezzanine, which loops around the entire store and features a café, art gallery, and more books.
Turnrow Book Company is open 6 days a week. Visit Monday – Saturday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. For more information, call (662) 453-5995. You can also check out the store’s website or Facebook page.
