Welcome!

Established in 1999, Pella Books is an independent used bookstore just 1/2 block west of the downtown square in Pella, Iowa. A delightful shop in a historic location, it sells used, collectible, vintage, out-of-print, antiquarian, and rare books. Pella Books carries all genres, from nonfiction to children’s books to poetry to classic literature, and every book we sell is ready for a new home.

Like many bookstores, Pella Books loves being a part of our community. Find us partnering with local authors and illustrators; celebrating Pella’s history and Tulip Time; and more on Facebook and Instagram, on this website, or at our location in a charming, historic landmark church building over 160 years old.
