Mitzi's Books

Mitzi's Books sits in the heart of downtown Rapid City, where the Great Plains meet the Black Hills and every direction leads to landscape that inspires wonder. The store serves as both a community bookstore for locals and a cultural resource for the millions of visitors who pass through on their way to Mount Rushmore, the Badlands, and the Pine Ridge Reservation. The Native American history and culture section is curated with respect and depth, featuring works by Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota authors alongside scholarly and popular treatments of the region's complex history. The nature writing section draws on the extraordinary ecology of the Black Hills and surrounding grasslands. The in-store cafe offers a welcome respite for weary travelers, and the children's section is stocked with titles that bring the magic of the West to young imaginations.
