SubText Books

We opened SubText because Saint Paul deserved a bookstore that treats readers like neighbors, not transactions. Every shelf reflects the conversations happening in this city — fiction, poetry, politics, kids' books, and voices you will not find in a chain. We host author events, book clubs, and quiet afternoons where someone discovers exactly the book they needed. When you shop here, you are keeping a independent cultural space alive on West Seventh — and helping us pay the writers, publishers, and staff who make that possible.— SubText Books
