What An Independent Bookstore Brings to Your Community!

Lorelei Books is an independent bookstore located in beautiful downtown Vicksburg , Mississippi .  We are committed to preserving our city’s character.  We believe that this can only be achieved by promoting independent businesses – businesses which, across America , are being replaced by big national chains and conglomerates.  

What does an independent bookseller bring to your community?  

• We bring a sense of place, not a “formula” created by the out-of–state headquarters of a national chain store.

• We bring more bucks to the local economy.  Did you know that local businesses contribute three times more to your town’s economy than national or international corporations do?  We pay local taxes, and do business locally.  The big national chains have corporate attorneys, accountants, etc. somewhere else.

• We promote writers within our region. We get involved with local schools and book clubs.  We join local organizations which are committed to making our community a better one.  We really are the neighborhood bookstore.

Before you battle traffic on Big Box Store Boulevard, please Shop Local First.  Do you really want to drive 40 miles to save 10% on your next purchase? Contact the locally-owned-and-operated business to see if they provide the product or service you are seeking!  

Lorelei Books is a proud member of these great teams!
