We're Proud to Have a Place in Our Community  
"I sure love having Spellbinder there in town, and the best way to insure it stays there is to support them. I'm partial, being a writer, but I always think a good book store is crucial to the personality of a town, and Spellbinder certainly represents Bishop..." -Eric Blehm, author of The Last Season


...Welcome to Spellbinder Books & Coffee, your neighborhood bookstore and part of the IndieBound national network of independant bookstores. We're located in Bishop's downtown with parking both behind the store and right on Main Street.

Stop in for a visit; while you're here, check out our assortment of book-related gifts and sip a delicious coffee drink from the Black Sheep Espresso Bar, located in the back of the store. They feature the highest-quality coffee and espresso, roasted in-house by Bishop Artisan Coffee Roasters.

We look forward to seeing you soon!!

Staff Picks!  
This fall and winter season, we've been amazed and delighted at the range and quality of new books on offer -- far from being a "thin" year book-publication-wise, we think it's the best list we've seen in years! To give you an idea of the breadth of new titles that are coming out, I've picked just a couple ... from popular to quirky! (Read More!)

Crazy for the Storm: A Memoir of Survival Crazy for the Storm: A Memoir of Survival
by Ollestad, Norman
Crazy for the Storm is a riveting account of survival. Norman Ollestad weaves the story of his unconventional early childhood and the details of a horrible airplane crash into a brilliant tribute to his adventurous father.--Jamie Robinson, Bestsellers Books &Coffee Co. (Mason, MI)

Quote of the Day  
"The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man's frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search."

- Max Lerner

From The Quotable Book Lover (Lyons Press)

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Kingsolver, Barbara, Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year, Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor, poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she and her family try to eat locally as much as they can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.” —Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR

A Dream in Polar Fog
by Rytkheu, Yuri, Chavasse, Ilona Yazhbin
Siberian-born author Rytkheu chronicles a Canadian sailor's life among the Chukchi people of northeastern Siberia in a lyrical, instructional novel that reads like an adventure story wrapped around an ethnography....Rytkheu's clear, compassionate prose ("Winter days resemble one another like twins") ably evokes a foreign, fragile world.

A Spellbinder Book Group all-time favorite - a jewel of a book! Thanks Walt, for the recommendation.
