Subterranean Books-An Independent Missouri Bookstore

Located at 6275 Delmar in St. Louis, MO, Subterranean Books has a staff of 6 avid readers, or so the About Page says.  It looks cute and quaint and fun!

Here’s a bit from the About page from their website: https://store.subbooks.com/

We opened in October 2000 focusing on the independent book store best sellers, cult classics, small presses, timeless literature and anything else that catches our fancy. And, despite what the internet may have told you, you won't find any used books here. We still field calls on that account about every day, even though we phased out that segment sometime around 2004.  There are other stores in town, though, that have fantastic assortments of used books. Our big categories are fiction, essays, poetry, music, science, nature, mind/body/spirit, children’s, cultural studies, memoirs, history….Our smaller (but no less important) include graphic novels, film, art, religion, cookbooks, travel, and more.  We also stock journals, t-shirts, pins, tote bags, and whatever else catches our fancy!

They have this program that I find EXTREEMELY COOL-a Book of the Month program!! 

They select and send a book a month for the reader based on their preferences.  Here’s why I think this would be cool—my mom just entered assisted living and she likes to read and this program would send her a new book each month according to what she likes to read.  It would be something new each month for someone who doesn’t get around as much as they used to.  Just saying-I liked the idea.  It’s not that expensive either!  I know I’d like something like this. 

Check out their site.  They have a spot to browse and an employee read section for suggestions.  And the site itself?  Super easy to navigate.  https://store.subbooks.com/
