Stopped in well after hours as they were cleaning up for the day. She allowed my husband and I to look through the shelves. As avid readers/collectors, we loved the selection and purchased a few items. Highly recommend!

Cute little bookstore in downtown Leland featuring a lovely curated selection of fiction and nonfiction, including a really solid section of children's lit. Speaking of kids, I'm not sure when they added it, but since the last time I personally was there they've added a nice screened in back-porch filled with kid friendly make-and-take crafts like paint your own pottery, wood cuts, etc. And there's also a nice patio with seating and cute little pop up reading tents for youngins. Grab a coffee, pick up a good book, set your kids to craft or read, and enjoy a peaceful afternoon to yourself.

Loved this book store. Bright, cheery and huge inventory. Hardbound and paperback books. There are toys for infants, small children and big kids. At times craft activities on their enclosed back porch. They have local artwork from artists from Michigan. I found artwork by an artist i had purchased from before. So excited to have a pair ... ? sunflowers by watercolor. Beautiful. There has only been three owners since the 1970s. Buy a book, postcards, artwork and even bookmarks. Need a gift, support this small business.

Cute shop! Great selection of books for adults and children. The make and take ceramics in the back is a great idea and we look forward to going back with our children.

You walk into this store and it’s just books wall to wall!! They have everything, children’s, adults, teens. And the workers are beyond helpful!! They were pleasant, friendly, knew exactly where things were located and appreciated light conversation. I will definitely shop here again just because our experience was so amazing!

I love this bookstore; it's one of my favorite independent bookstores, and I make a point of stopping in every time I visit. It's cute, welcoming, and there's something for everyone. My 5-year old now loves it as much as I do, after being able to check out the kids areas, along with sitting and looking at books at the kids' table. I bought him a birthday gift on the sly, and they were great in helping me pull it off. Great place!

Amazing Store. Great for kids and adults alike. If they don't have it they can order it. It's the one stop shop for your Northern Michigan/Native American/Leelanau inspired literary treasures.

We stopped here while in town and had a great experience. I was impressed with the book collection that they had. There were lots of books about the local areas that you would not find online or in other stores. I always spend time in the cookbook section and they had a diverse selection of cookbooks with many of the newest and popular titles available. They also had a nice selection of books about nature and the outdoors which is very fitting for the area.We did purchase a couple of items and our interaction with the staff was pleasant. Maybe they have turned the corner here. Give em a shot, reading is worth it.

Excellent spot to stop and relax. Ms. Paula, the owner, has such a great and gentle touch with the kids. The face painting and statue painting compliment the quaint book store so well. Leelanau Books is a must see when you visit Leland!!!

Stopped in today with our kiddos. Could've easily spent more time in there than we did! The owner was very nice, and helped our 3 year old find some dinosaur books. Our daughter curled up on a cozy bench perusing books for herself, and even my husband found something! Definitely something for everyone here, and highly suggest stopping in!
