About The Freckled Press
The Freckled Press | @thefreckledpress
The Freckled Press opened on August 19th, 2023. It is a new and used bookstore. Rosie has always had the dream of opening a place where people can find a little of everything. It’s a place where reading is cherished and books are shared. The Freckled Press welcomes readers of all ages and stages of life. If you can’t find the book you want, we’re happy to help you find it or another.
