    This is a wonderful independent bookstore and owners Jane and Jim Janke can find just about any book you want.

    The real gem of this place is the basement which is home to vintage books at killer prices.

    We live in Wisconsin Rapids, where there's no local bookstore, so it's always a treat to visit…read moreMarshfield and stop at Thimbleberry Books. The place is huge, and they have an amazing selection. I always leave with at least 2 or 3 books. All the books are used but in excellent condition, which means prices are lower than at many other stores. The employees are both friendly and helpful, and -- most importantly -- they have friendly bookstore cats. Need I say more?

    Love this bookstore. It's one with nooks and crannies of books throughout. It's in an old…read morebuilding, the character of which lends itself perfectly to a used bookstore. It's narrow, or perhaps seems that way because of the shelves of books, but it extends into a back room. It's easy to lose track of time exploring. The aisles are decent, I suppose, but might be a problem when perusing the stacks if other people need to get by. There are two cats that roam freely, meowing loudly when they want attention, but do not otherwise bother anyone, unless they sense a kindred spirit. They kind of give this place a home-like atmosphere. I only had a few moments and that didn't give me quite enough time to figure out the layout, but things appear to be sorted by category and then by author, like most bookstores, but with some cross-over sections. The general fiction is in front. There's a nice mix of books within each category, and not many duplicate titles. Thimbleberry Books is a winner.

    Lovely used bookstore with remarkably low prices. Good selection, strong on sci-fi. It's a house…read morewith a few little rooms. I like Coda, the bookstore dog, though I usually prefer bookstore cats. I asked Coda to show me around, and as if she understood she took me to each room, then returned to near the checkout counter where I think her main job is to greet people coming in. Nice selection of artistic greeting cards.

    Rhinelander is a lovely community and one I call home. I have a "thing" for bookstores, always…read morehave. When I discovered this gem I was beyond delighted and they didn't disappoint me in the least! The individual rooms in which to wander are made magical as the shelves are marked using old Scrabble tiles. This is because the owners are super-dooper creative. As well as knowledgeable and hospitable. And funny. They share their sweet dog Coda with each guest and to this date she hasn't tinkled on a single customers shoe! However I think the owners should teach her to do that for the few shoplifters that have sullied the place. The kids room is amazing and each child that finds the secret room is transported to a magical place all their own. As a member of the senior crowd I'm VERY grateful for the neatest, most creative bathroom in the entire town! My first visit there it was the FIRST room I needed to find. As I sat there meditating to the sound of the clapping of one hand I just KNEW I was in for a treat with the rest of the store and I sure was! Besides the great selection of books (which I think are priced almost too low) you can find a few collectible/antique offerings as well as other goodies like snacks and greeting cards. Take the kids and wander in. I promise you won't be disappointed. But be prepared...they are located right next door to McDonald's.
