Where to meet nationally-and internationally-known authors many times each month, and participate in book clubs, discussion groups, community events, and book signings every week of the year?

Come to Malaprop’s Bookstore/Café, 55 Haywood Street, established 32 years ago in downtown Asheville. While at Malaprop’s, enjoy some of the best coffee in town and locally-baked pastry.

Tourists and locals alike appreciate the wide selection of guidebooks and maps for exploring parks, cultural sites, outdoor resources in WNC, and for travel to destinations worldwide. You’ll find contemporary bestsellers and classics, signed first editions, an expansive children’s section with books and book-themed gifts, and a rich selection of fiction, non-fiction and poetry by distinguished local and regional authors.
