Chequamegon Books

If you like used bookstores I highly recommend this place. They have a huge selection of used books that are quite well organized, with plenty of space to move around (and breath). They also have a large selection of obscure and out of print books as well as a few well selected new books. And the people who work there are quite helpful. They also have a large portion of their collection computerized so if you know exactly what you're looking for they should be able to check if they have it.

It was such a wonderful surprise it was to find this quality of a used bookshop in Washburn, Wisconsin. We stopped on a whim, as we always do when we see a used bookshop, on our way to Bayfield. After an hour and $75 later, as well as all our compliments to the owners, we left already planning our next return (which ended up being two days later, before we headed back home). It's rare to find a shop this large, well-organized, tidy, uncrowded, and well-stocked. Powell's in Chicago had been top of our list, but this surpassed the selection there, and with cheaper prices. We're poetry folks, so spent most of our time scouring the poetry selection, but we easily could have spent several more hours there. It also has one of the most extensive Native American sections of any shop I've encountered. Note: There are some new books in the mix, so those are priced accordingly. As other reviewers noted, the Google business listing should be updated to reflect this isn't a coffeeshop, just one of the most well-curated book shops in the Midwest (if not the country). Again, we found the prices very reasonable for the selection and condition of the books. We can't wait to return.

*This review is being written during the COVID-19 pandemic*nI love old bookstores so it's easy to give five stars! But I was also impressed by the fact that the owners were both wearing masks!The store is clean and the owners are friendly and they have a wonderful selection. Plus that old book smell permeates through the entire store and it's nice and quiet. I'd live there if I could!

Lovely book store. A huge, eclectic selection. So many cool old editions of books. Prices were great. I want to go back.

This is such a fun bookstore, I could wander around here for hours. They have a little bit of everything. One of my favorite stores in the area.
