about the shop

A small door,
a long shelf,
a quiet welcome.

The Book Burrow is the small independent bookshop we always wished existed in our town, so we opened it. Tucked off the main road, with a round door and a wood stove humming in winter, it's a place built for slow afternoons.

We carry the books we'd press into a friend's hands: literary fiction and beautiful nonfiction, fantasy that takes its world-building seriously, children's stories worth reading aloud, and the occasional rare find from our second-hand corner.

with love, the booksellers
The Book Burrow's round door, open
the door is open
for the whole town

Come in, no ticket needed.

Some of what happens here is just for the neighbourhood. Storytime for the little ones, authors from around Kentucky, and the days when all of Perryville opens its doors at once. These are free. Bring whoever you like.
