      General Info
      About Old Inlet Bookshop The Old Inlet Bookshop is a family owned bookshop of third-generation booksellers. We offer used, rare and out-of-print books, and have been operating in Homer since 1997. The shop has moved from its original location in the basement of the Old Inlet Trading Post to its new digs up the street, now located in a dovetail notch-constructed log cabin in historic Old Town. About 400 feet from the waters of Cook Inlet, the log structure, known as the Hansen House ( because it was Burt Hansen who moved it from the south side of Kachemak Bay to its present location in the early 1930s ), was one of Homer's very first stores. The provenance is still a mystery, but some locals believe the cabin was built on Yukon Island in 1905, making it one of the oldest buildings in Homer. Totally renovated, the cabin offers old pioneer charm to the add-on new construction that houses the Mermaid Cafe and B&B. The bookshop specializes in Alaskana, polar exploration, natural history, modern firsts, children's and medical books. We also offer a wide array of general stock in most genres. Of the 20, 000-plus titles available for perusal, one might find a signed Rockwell Kent illustrated first edition Moby Dick in a dust jacket, or a John Muir Cruise of the Corwin with a manuscript tipped into it. There is the possibility of securing a paperback of a favorite fiction writer, or a naval text detailing all the major submarine battles of World War 11. Also available are original oil paintings by local artist James Buncak, oil paintings by Chicago artist Sue Spero, whale-bone and ivory carvings by Point Hope Eskimo Tom Fields, and photographs by renowned photographer G. Brad Lewis.
