Malaprop's BookstoreCafe

Malaprop?s Bookstore/Caf? is an independent bookstore founded in Asheville, NC in 1982. We bring books, writers, and readers together in an environment that nurtures community and the joy of reading. We carry a carefully curated selection of books for adults, children, and young adults, as well as a large array of gift items. Our cozy caf? offers tasty treats from local bakeries and coffee roasted locally. Writer Ann Patchett, in an article for the New York Times, said of us: ?Malaprop?s was the heart and soul of Asheville, NC, when Asheville was a sleepy little hippie town, and it?s still its heart and soul now?, a position Malaprop?s maintained by being unabashedly true to itself.?
