My favorite indie bookstore in the heart of Historic Guthrie OK. The owners are incredibly kind humans who work hard to put literacy first and do incredible things for their community. Lately they’ve been under attack by competitors looking to undermine their work and their values because bigotry runs rampant in the state.

The shop dog is the coolest. The book clubs slap! The banned book list makes Ryan Walters quake in his tiny shoes.

They are all about elevating local authors and they utilize radical empathy. We could use more local companies with this mindset.

And if they don’t have what you’re looking for they are open to finding you an indie shop that provides your desired book so that you can continue supporting small business.

Competition happens at the bottom, but collaboration happens at the top and I hope A Novel Idea thrives for...

This bookstore is truly the perfect addition to our little town. Chelsea & the whole team’s dedication to creating community, fostering thought & discussion, and promoting inclusivity and acceptance is such a light. Every time I leave book club, I feel happy and hopeful after the meaningful, insightful conversations that take place and the genuine, kind humans I get to interact with and call friends. A Novel Idea has a warm, inviting atmosphere (made more so by the lovely Mr. Darcy, shop dog) where everyone feels safe and welcome to express themselves. Not to mention, the wide variety of books, trinkets and merch she has available, most made from local people! I’m so grateful for this bookstore & the people I’ve met because of it, and can’t wait for many more successful years!! Please please please stop by, you...
