Welcome to A Novel Idea Bookstore

Used, Rare, Out-of-Print, and New Books!

Founded in 1991, our shop offers everything from Paperback Mysteries to Signed, Leather-bound Books.
We also have Gifts for Readers ~ Puzzles, Games, Stickers, Magnets, Tarot, Candles, Chocolate, Tea & more!

Our two cats, Charlie & Cricket, tend to sleep in the front windows and love being pet by customers.
Our gargoyle, Fritz, changes outfits often. Find him downstairs near the Art section & pat him for good luck!

Two blocks from the University, we are surrounded by coffee shops, restaurants, galleries and boutiques.
Make a day of it – shop, grab a bite, have a drink, hear live music.
Lose yourself in our cool neighborhood, find treasures, and make lasting memories!
