Hedgehog Books — Local services in Fort Scott

I enjoyed this store and will definitely visit again.

It's not allergy friendly, because of the used books, the lavender section, and the homeade soaps, but if you stay to the back of the shop, it shouldn't be too difficult to continue your browsing.

5 stars and planning to...
