I have not had the pleasure of book browsing at the Cottage Book Shop, but thanks to TBTP reader Gwen S. I’m happy to share it with you. The bookstore is located in the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Glen Arbor, Michigan. Glen Arbor, nestled in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, boasts the world’s largest moving sand dune, 77, 000 acres with 64 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and South and North Manitou Islands. There are pristine lakes, rivers, wetlands, forests, and vintage farmlands. In 2011 it was voted the “Most Beautiful Place in America.”

The charming book shop is situated in a historic log cabin that was originally a family home. Today the Cottage Book Shop is a quaint home for a well curated selection of books. They specialize in fiction, children’s books, and local interest titles.
