Peruse More Than 70,000 Books At This Wisconsin Bookstore

Literary lovers, rejoice! We found just the place for you to satisfy your craving for a good read – and it’s Chequamegon Books. Housed in a historic brownstone, the massive bookstore is stocked with more than 70,000 books from just about every genre…and then some. Take a look:

Chequamegon Books is located in Washburn on Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay near the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

Pretty hard to miss, the *timeless* bookstore is situated on Main Street and housed in a huge brownstone that dates back to 1888.

And while the building’s history is impressive, it’s what’s inside that’s sure to amaze – and that’s because the interior is stocked with thousands of books.

More than 70,000 books occupy the store’s shelves.

The massive collection includes new, used, and discounted books on every conceivable subject.

As you look around you'll discover everything from paperbacks to rare, hard-to-find books.

There are books on regional history, nature, folklore, music, arts, poetry, and cooking as well as an array of children's literature.

There are even books about books. The vastness of the store’s collection hasn’t been lost on the owner, who says, "We have books that no one has or even wants to have!"

Of course, it’s not just books that you’ll find on the store’s shelves. There are also cards and CDs.

So, are you ready to bring your literary dreams to life?

Chequamegon Books is open Monday – Saturday, from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Sundays, from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Hours may vary in the winter, so it’s a good idea to call before you visit. For more information, call (715) 373-2899. You can also visit the Chequamegon Books website.
