Chequamegon Books

I could spend hours in this bookstore, digging through its shelves. Really great selection of books in a beautiful space. The people are incredibly nice and helpful. Must stop for readers and book lovers!

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.

27 years in the business. The owners very helpful, remarkable collection, arranged so browsing was a joy.

Beautiful collections of books, especially the odd ones and the ones you don’t even know exist! ❤️

The selection of books is great, and it's locally owned.Go there!

Great local character and awesome used books. Could spend a lot of time looking through all the variety. A very neat little gem.

Floor to ceiling books! Doesnt look as big as it really is. Nice people who eiyher own or work there. Friendly place.

Always an interesting place to browse books and relax. Gigantic collection of books on all subjects. Just found an interesting book on racing dingy/scow for my son.
A must visit in Washburn, WI.

Friendly owner and a large selection of books. They no longer sell coffee, however, because a restaurant license is too expensive.

I have had the pleasure of enjoying buying all my books from Chequamegon Books. The store experience is a delight. I find the most interesting books there. As a lifetime reader, it is a joy to share my love of books with personable people like Carol & Richard.
