About Us

Cassiopeia Books is a new and used bookstore located in Great Falls, MT.  Our goal is to provide books to all who love them, and we believe in the power of books to entertain, comfort, educate, and sometimes even transform.  Our inventory covers most genres with strong sections in Montana History and Montana Authors. 

We have a book exchange program that allows members of the community to bring their previously enjoyed but no longer needed books to the store in exchange for a discount on other previously owned and enjoyed books.  This exchange of used books provides shoppers at Cassiopeia Books with a unique view into the reading tastes of Great Falls.  If we don’t have a book a customer is looking for in stock, we strive to find it, whether new or used. 

Mission

What do we do? We sell new and used books to the Great Falls and Montana community.

​

How do we do it? By buying new and used books, and by accepting used books from the community for a price reduction on other used books. We also locate new and used books for the community as part of our special-order service.

​

Why do we do it? We do it because books, authors, storytelling, and reading are important to us and to our community. Books, whether fiction or non-fiction, serious literature or escapism, stimulate our minds, improve our ability to see and understand the world and each other, and - in the best sense - create compassion for ourselves and others.
