Arcadia Books

Arcadia Books thrives in Spring Green, Wisconsin, a tiny village that punches enormously above its weight in cultural significance as the home of Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin estate and the acclaimed American Players Theatre. The bookstore channels this creative energy into a selection that emphasizes architecture, design, performing arts, and the literary culture of Wisconsin's beautiful Driftless Area. The architecture section, naturally, is exceptional, ranging from Wright monographs to contemporary design theory. The nature writing section reflects the unique geography of the unglaciated Driftless Area, with its dramatic coulees and hidden valleys. Theater-goers from American Players Theatre are regular customers, and the store stocks plays, dramatic criticism, and Shakespeare editions alongside its broader literary fiction collection. Arcadia Books is a reminder that great bookstores often grow from the cultural soil of the places that nurture them.
