The Book House is a bookstore located in Dinkytown, near the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. Founded in 1976 by two couples, it sells used books both in-store and online and also has a rare book section.[1] After the closure of Biermaier's Books in 2011, the Book House has since remained the only independent, non-university bookstore in Dinkytown, as well as one of the oldest bookstores in Minneapolis–Saint Paul.[2][3][4]
