Great book selection, a friendly store owner who dabbles in watch and small jewelry repairs, fantastic local artists (stained glass, jewelry, honey), locally made kombucha and great body products including this nourishing golden milk mix. Perfect way to spend a few hours!

Very friendly non-pushy woman greeted us at the door and asked about any specific interests. Gave us a 15 second overview and let us browse. Quirky old bank with bulletproof glass and a cool vault filled with books and a padded bench to sit and read. Comfy chairs in several places. The store atmosphere is quiet and tailored to sitting and reading as you browse books. Hard backs $5 with local art, coffee table books, photographs and a good selection of titles. We bought five books and enjoyed our time there after breakfast at Jessica’s just up the street.

Im not much of a shopper and rarely step into a store, particularly when Im on vacation. But I do like to check out a bookstore, and Im so glad I visited the Book Teller.The merchandise is equal parts books and products from local artists (and local beekeepers and Kombucha brewers!).I purchased a used book that Id been wanting (for $2!), a jar of local honey, and spent some time speaking with the charming owner about the history of the building.Its a former bank, and the mystery section is located in the bank vault. Look a little closer at a counter where books are displayed - thats bullet proof glass and gun portals from another era.The Book Teller is definitely worth a visit, even if youre not much of a shopper - but if you are a shopper, you will love the handmade jewelry and textile products found here at very reasonable prices.

Such a wonderful, cozy book shop! The mystery section is in a vault like area (so cool) and there are many cozy spots to sit and read. A gem!

Gem of a place, comfortable and full of interest. I came away with a pile of childrens books from some of my favorite authors and some who Id never heard of before. Great prices and super friendly. I will make a point to get here anytime Im in Whitewater.

I love this place! High-quality, locally-crafted goods, used books at a great price, run by an awesome woman whose hand-made jewelry is for sale...all housed in an old bank (hence the name). The murder mysteries are in the vault. Fun experience, great finds.

This bookstore is sort of a hidden gem, search Whitewater WI bookstore and the campus bookstore pops up instead. Thats a shame, because this place is super cool. There is a large metal vault in the back that is now filled with books. Theres the blend of books you would expect from a used bookstore, as well as some local arts and crafts. If youre downtown and looking to find some used books or kill some time, check it out,

A cozy, homey, used bookstore in downtown Whitewater. Beautiful art by Studio 84, jewelry by KMA jewelry, stained glass, natural deodorants, soaps, air fresheners, handmade and designed clothes, and so much more! It has a bit of everything.
