paper moon books and beyond

It is one of the best book and gift shop in north east Iowa. Their shop is very thought, it shows in their merchandise. Whimsical, fun and great books to boot. The owner are a joy talk too. Don't miss it.

Paper Moon is a wonderful trove of amazing stuff -- soaps, cards, children's books, adult books, YARN and all sorts of cool things I've never seen anywhere else. If you're traveling along the Mississippi River at Wisconsin/Iowa, it's worth a detour. Afterward, trot down the main drag to Old Man River for the best grilled cheese sandwiches and sweet potato fries.

This is a wonderful book store in a very small town but the quality of their merchandise and selections are unbelievable. The store is three stories and has everything that you cannot find in any of the large stores in a city or at any of the "big box stores. The balcony is devoted to children's books and activities, the top floor has adult books plus a "kitchen book nook" and downstairs one finds jewelry, specialty cards, unusual gifts not found elsewhere plus many other items too numerous to mention. If you cannot find that special gift or book here you will not find it anywhere. The store also has two able "assistants and door greeters" in Mitchum the big black cat and Ruby Woo an active rescue kitten. If you want a truly super experience visit the Paper Moon, it is well worth the trip.
