Celebrating 40 years of independent bookselling in 2013!

Moscow, Idaho is the Heart of the Arts. As an integral part of the community, BookPeople's mission is to serve readers and writers of all ages with a handpicked selection of great books, a variety of events, and an inspiring place in which all are welcome.

We love to see you in the store, and our website is another way that we can serve you. You can support your favorite independent bookstore even if you live out of town, prefer e-books, or can't get to downtown Moscow as often as you'd like. Shop for books using the search engine on the right, and at checkout you can choose whether you'd like the books to be shipped to you (in Moscow we can deliver them via bike courier), shipped to someone else (gift-wrapped!), or just have them prepared for you to pick up in the store.

Penguin is one of our favorite publishers. They have so many great books in lovely editions, in hardcover and paperback, at affordable prices. During June, just in time for summer reading, we have several Penguin displays, and several opportunities to get a free Penguin tote bag. We also have free annotated listings of all Penguin classics, free samplers for World Noir from Europa Editions, and free samplers for What the World is Reading. You'll want to check out the Penguin classics in the literature section as well. Please stop in the store to see all the beautiful Penguins (we love the new "Drop Cap" hardcovers in a rainbow of hues) including special hardcover editions of books by F. Scott Fitzgerald with glittery dustjackets, like the most beautiful shirts you've ever seen.
