Store description
Village Lights opened as a brick-and-mortar shop in 2008. A full-service general bookstore, we offered a carefully curated selection of used and new books. In 2024, we transitioned to a rare and antiquarian book shop, open by appointment. We offer a modest, but growing, eclectic selection of rare, collectible, and out-of-print books, with strength in modern firsts and signed copies. We also sell handmade letterpress books from Larkspur Press. We value direct communication, so please feel free to call if you have questions about our listings or to confirm that an item is still on hand. We invite you to visit our website or make an appointment to visit us in the forested hills of Brown County, Indiana’s “Little Smokies.”…
