MacArthur Books

I've been to MacArthur books a couple times now. This small independent book store is my favorite place to pick up birthday presents. Today, I picked up a puzzle for my favorite 4 year old. McKayla, the clerk, greeted us with a big smile and offered to help us find something meaningful. They carry a wonderful selection of books and assorted gifts. I sat in one of their big comfy chairs and read excerpts from various books. And the best part is that they wrapped my puzzle for free! What a great deal! There's limited parking out front but you can usually find something along the street.

the owner here is a treasure that makes the whole place come alive. a fantastic selection of books and cute book related goods here. i love her curated collections! she also hosts so many cool classes, we went for a moss art class once! reasonably priced and much better than barnes and nobles (:

Attended as part of Indy's book crawl since I happened to be in the area for another event and I love this bookstore and selection! My only critique is that it's not closer to me. Found some gems in the $5 rack and also enjoyed browsing through the rest of the inventory. Was definitely a bit crowded (likely due to the book crawl) but I imagine most items MacArthur Books feels quite cozy!Would definitely swing by if/when I'm back in the area again. Love local/independent bookstores and supporting them!

As a bookstore lover, I appreciated every adorable nook in this bookstore. There is quite a selection of books as well as some bookish gifts. Highly recommend!

Who doesn't love a local bookstore? I have so much fun searching for new books to read as well as books for my kiddos. My daughter loves the children's area! I wish I got her name, but the bookseller was so nice and answered all of my questions. She was knowledgeable and you know she loves what she does. Can you find books cheaper on Amazon? Yes, BUT by going to MacArthur books, you are supporting a local bookstore! Added bonus: free cookies!!

I love MacArthur books! They have the best selection and the staff will order you in a specific book if you request it. You will pay slightly more than if you bought online, but the experience and the curation of their products is worth supporting local.

I tend to get my books from the local library vs. buying them, but I love nothing more than browsing a bookstore - especially a LOCAL bookstore. Thrilled to see MacArthur books open in the Village of West Clay! It's a small but mighty shop, packed with best sellers, all the typical genres/sections you'd find in a larger bookstore, and an adorable children's room/section. Plus, they have great gifts for book lovers - think coffee mugs, bookmarks, stickers, etc.

There's nothing I love more than a bookstore. This one opened around my birthday and my family's gift to me was that I could choose a book here... truly the best gift. I spent an hour pouring over book covers, reading the back covers, looking them up on GoodReads and talking to the owner. They have an awesome selection and I think I ended up getting more like five books - haha. Can't resist!They're located in The Village of West Clay and have easy, free parking spots out front. The shopkeeper is often curled up on a chair reading herself and knows a lot about the books in the shop. They support a lot of local events and have many flyers up in their windows. They also sponsored a 5k event my mom was helping plan. Cheering you on, MacArthur!

Gosh! I stumbled upon the cutest book store while walking around the neighborhood! Such a lovely store with customized notes for each of the top few books. I just went in to check the store out and I was amazed at the variety of options the store had for bibliophiles. Reading pins, bookmarks, journals, Biblo tracking books you name it - everything under one roof! I ended up not purchasing anything cause I wanted to spend more time and scour end to end so I will be going back this week and update pictures, added details. Must visit - a bibliophiles haven!!!

This place is adorable! I love a good indie bookshop, and the selection here is phenomenal. There is a sticker corner, book-themed gifts, and even a fun local author section. I am a sucker for easily-navigable shelves, and this place is clearly marked. The owner is so kind, and has great book recommendations as well. I found a book I had been eyeing for a while, plus a cute TBR journal to--hopefully--organize my TBR list in a more manageable way!
