    Hermeticus is the "reincarnation" of a Talent bookstore destroyed in the Almeda Fire. It was…read moreopened on Nov. 9, 2021, at a B Street storefront in Ashland, steps from its intersection with Fourth Street in the Railroad District. One of the original owners recently passed and if you want to buy one of his fascinating and original wall art pieces, good luck! Past that, this is definitely a book store of literary titles that you didn't previous know that you needed. The store (which I think was once a Yoga studio) has 2 spacious rooms (front and back) and plenty of space to spread out and dive in. The selection is well curated (and organized) and priced accordingly. Hermeticus really requires multiple visits as there's so many exploration options. The person working the day I was there, was well versed in what topics I chose to bring up. I'll be sure to visit again the next time I'm in Ashland and hope that I can pull the trigger on a unique art piece or some personal literary masterpiece.

    Stopped here during a drive through Ashland, because it sounded interesting and arcane. I was…read moreright. Not what you'd expect, the little used bookshop is full of rare and fascinating books on Alchemy, knowledge held by Mystery Schools of the past, and quite a selection of rare books on similar subjects. The owner was super friendly and helpful, even gave me a birthday discount on my purchases. Only in Ashland could a place as cool as this exist.

    Treehouse books is a wonderful little spot especially if you have little ones…read more I've noticed the differences in the books shops around the area. One is more of a wide variety but more modern, Tree house focuses more on kids and young adults, the Book Exchange is more like a library with collections, older , modern, categorized etc. this is a wonderful thing because you can't help but go through all of them. Treehouse does have a wide selection but over all vibe is bring your kids in and there is a flavor of literature for everyone. They are price very well and I was even able to get a replica ring of THE ONE RING ... TO RULE THEM ALL lol . Treehouse is a wonderful spot so don't pass it up.

    If the owners of Tree House Books were intending to replicate the experience of walking into a…read morebookstore in Diagon Alley, then they have surely succeeded! This charming shop carries a robust selection of books catering mostly to children and the young adult crowd, along with stationery, cards, games, toys, clothing and a lot more surprises, tucked into every nook and cranny! This is the sort of place that is sorely needed in age of instant gratification and digital everything. Tree House Books shows a true appreciation for, and a celebration of, the wonderous analog media that is slowly being replaced by YouTube and emojis. Evocative in its ambiance, spaces like this help revive interest in the stories that are instrumental in producing educated, well-rounded and, most importantly, creative and free-thinking members of society. If you can't tell, Tree House Books really blew me away. There are a lot of bookstores out there, many of them slowly being crushed by the titans of the internet. Fortunately, even the mighty Amazons of the world have no power here. They shall not pass! I observed more than a dozen kids, dragging their parents behind them, fawning over virtually everything in the shop, especially the books. Seeing this filled me with joy, and the hopeful that, because of places like this, that magic still exists. Vivid are the imaginations that pass through these doors, becoming ever richer when they depart once more, hopefully armed with a bookbag full of thrilling tales, legends, and lore, waiting to be devoured by eager eyes and open minds. Five stars is not enough.
