Welcome to the Bookshelf, your local Independent Bookseller

Do you need to catch up on literary classics and pay less for modern novels? Take home new and used books from our full-service bookstore in Batesville, Indiana.

Since 1980, The Bookshelf has been providing new and used books to avid readers. At our bookstore, just one block from the library, you’ll find a friendly staff that many have dubbed the “Bookshelf Ladies”. We are “Book Mind Readers”, using our literary knowledge to help pick out a book you’ll love, just by asking about the last one you’ve read!

 

Our books are divided by genres and include over 100,000 used books on two floors. We have thousands of new books, including the latest releases from the publishers. Contact us today for more details on the numerous used and new books for sale in our store.

 

As soon as a new book comes out, we have it in stock for you to buy. If we run out of a certain title you want, we can always special order it for overnight delivery, directly to your home or our store for your convenience. We know weeks in advance when new books are coming out, and we offer a sign-up sheet so you can pre-order anticipated titles that might be hard to find on the shelf.
