We enjoyed finding Lake City Books while in downtown. It’s a nice bookstore with a good selection of local authors. We were so happy to find Secret Wisconsin: A Guide To The Weird, Wonderful, Ans Obscure.

What a wonderful store near the Capitol. Clerk helped me find a used copy of a title I was shopping for. Left with a big bag of gift items.

I went to Lake City Books for the first time yesterday and loved it! There’s a great selection of books and cute gift items as well.

Great book selection. Very nice space. Lovely art. I'm glad they got an sidewalk sign because the storefront is hard to notice from the Capitol Square. Right across Hamilton Street by the Children's Museum. Down the block from the Bradbury Cafe. You can sell books for store credit too. I love my logo tote and logo mug.

Absolutely lovely interior! Will need to remember to stop by sometime to take it all in. Staff was great and my order was ready as promised.

This place is super cozy! I've come back here a few times now, and every time the experience has been wonderful. Everyone who works here is amazing, and is super helpful and super enjoyable to talk to! They have a nice selection of both used and new books too, so they'll almost definitely have something in your price range :)

The first time I walked into this bookstore, I fell in love. I loved the way everything was laid out and how easy it was to find books that I had never even heard of before. The second time I walked into the shop, I was determined to come here regularly. Once they started doing book clubs, my dream came true. A visit the store frequently and fall in love with it every time I go. If you’re looking for books, community, people who love books, Or great recommendations, this is the place to check out.

This bookstore has what you’re looking for (probably)! The kids section is one of my favorites locally with space for the kids to sit and look through books they might be interested in. Their book-related and locally made gifts make this a great place to shop for all ages. I especially love the small used books section and feature of local authors. I’ve seen several signed copies of different books here. There is some parking out front if you’re lucky, or a near by parking garage that isn’t too pricy but be prepared to do a lap around the block.

this bookstore is so cute! nestled in a lower level area on a hill it pleasingly opens up to be a quaint, well-stocked book escape. with a selection of many genres as well as UK editions of some novels, it’s a must see in madison! i stopped by just to see but definitely will be back :)
