Our Participating Bookstores
The Book Worm
The Book Worm is a small, cozy shop filled to the brim with books, where you can both peacefully browse among the quiet of bookshelves or talk all day about your favorite novel. We exclusively sell used books, with over 15,000 titles to choose from, every genre, and unique new gifts, handmade treasures, and bookish trinkets, too! We also "rescue" books, from bestsellers read only once to vintage books nearly a hundred years old, and find new readers to love them again.
