We are an international co-operative of booksellers who believe quality of books and quality of service far outweigh quantity of listings. Collectively, we offer one of the worlds best and safest book-buying sites.
Welcome to The Haunted Bookshop, Iowa City's oldest used book store. Established in 1978, the store moved in January 2009 to its current location in Northside Iowa City.
We carry over 40,000 titles in more than 80 different sections ranging from Iowa interest to poetry, children's books to sociology, travelogues to history and more. We provide a variety of other services as well, including book searches, gift recommendation, space for book groups and community organisations to meet, collection valuation, writing consultation, packing and shipping, sewing advice, tea if the kettle's on, Latin translation....
We also enjoy the company of many neighbours, friends and fellow readers. If you are a Facebook user, meet the regulars by visiting our fan page, Ghosts of the Haunted Bookshop (also a great spot to share pictures of the cats, set up chess games, Scrabble, or book group meetings, and more).
In the front room there is a piano. Guests are invited to play - Nierme, one of our cats, is passionately fond of piano music, and we enjoy it too.
We have a public-access Forum where we post news and views about the World book Market, to which anybody is welcome to contribute, or just browse. Community Forum
