I love this place! I'm addicted to browsing and theres so much to look at in here. I've made plenty of yarn (and some book) purchases and will just keep coming back. The folks who work here are awesome too. Great vibes, great supplies, great books.

Absolutely wonderful bookstore. I love coming in here to find books on my wishlist, but also just to browse; the store is so lovingly curated. It has the vibe of some of the most beloved bookstores from my childhood; cozy vibe, high density of books, with just the right of labyrinthian pathways beckoning you towards new nooks. The staff are also extremely friendly and helpful. Love love love this place.

This is such a unique bookstore! The owners were so friendly and loved talking and geeking out over books with me! They had so many great popular used copies as well as some unique finds and vintage and special editions. The owner showed us a book she has from 1603 - it was fascinating! Also, she got an arc copy of a pop up book that was missing colors - so fun! We will definitely be back again! :)

Delighted to find this enchanting bookstore and yarn haven. Backstory is in a beautiful whimsy building with wall to wall books covering a large variety of genres. You can find everything from cookbooks to creepy fiction. They also carry a lot of classic children's books. There is yarn in every color of the rainbow. I even got a chance to check out a vintage sewing machine. Backstory is a wonderful place to explore used books and get craft inspiration. Put it on your "must go" list if you love the smell of old books and enjoy touching different yarn textures. It was a lovely place to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon.
