Story

The Dawn Treader Book Shop is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where we have been selling used and rare books for nearly thirty-five years. In that time we have grown from a tiny basement shop to a spacious storefront offering over seventy thousand titles. The Booklover's Guide to the Midwest describes the Dawn Treader as "An absolutely fabulous book shop, with something for everyone," which was their highest praise for any shop.

We buy books, libraries and collections in all areas of interest, from early printing to modern fiction. We are especially interested in scholarly books in the sciences and humanities; modern first editions, including Science-Fiction, Fantasy, and Mysteries; and early travel and exploration. We display over 70,000 titles in our shop, ranging from current paperbacks to long-surviving Incunabula; in price from fifty cents to many thousands of dollars. You can browse, search, and purchase our merchandise online, although we have only been able to post a fraction of our inventory.

Our manager also offers book repair and restorations services.

I graduated UM in the 80's. I still get back to Ann Arbor, from time to time, and I ALWAYS stop here. I have no idea how they get the selection they have, but it's fantastic. I do so love the Strand, in NY City, however I buy more books here- somehow they have more books of the sort I'm interested in. Fantastic store.

Terry Pratchett once wrote that bookshops, real bookshops, are stuffed with so much knowledge that they warp time and space. They have winding alleys between stacks of books that end in curious little doors and seem bigger on the inside than should be possible. They smell of dry paper and if you're quiet enough, you can hear the books talking to one another. The Dawn Treader is the bookshop he described. Not only will you find vast collections of obscure AND popular books, the atmosphere here is a siren call to the booklovers soul. Once you visit here, all other book stores are lifeless in comparison.

Dawn Treader is completely packed wall to wall with books - it's incredible. Most of the bookstores around town favor form over function, yet this place definitely does not. There's an insane amount of genres hosted here, and they even have a section for rare and autographed copies. If you'd like to sell your dusty old books or DVDs, they'll buy them from you. However, you're probably going to get a better deal selling them on Ebay.

I love this place. They have so many books. I could spend hours browsing.

Awesome place, if you have a chance to visit I highly suggest you do so! They can find anything. Spend an hour just wandering around looking the different artifacts throughout the store. It's been there for over 40 years, there is some really cool stuff.
