Located at 114 E. 2nd St., the bookstore measures just under 600 sq. ft., with owner Annah Jones noting that although small, the physical storefront is "10 times the size" of the trailer it debuted in. Bristlecone Bookshop carries all-new titles shelved in categories like "The Book Was Better," "Books About Bookstores," and "Reading Is Resistance."
Alongside books, there will be artwork by local artisans as well as an assortment of bookish goods. Jones plans to host book clubs, children's storytime sessions, poetry open mics, and signings with local authors. "I hope it will be a welcoming community space," she said.
After launching Bristlecone Bookshop last summer, Jones took the mobile store to farmers' markets, coffee shops, breweries, and special events.
Jones also works as a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Nederland; initially, the store will be open Friday through Sunday.
