Montana Book Company

Montana Book Company represents the new generation of independent bookselling in Helena, bringing fresh energy to the Last Chance Gulch district while honoring the literary traditions that make Montana one of the most book-loving states in the union. Since opening in 2016, the store has quickly established itself as an essential cultural space in the state capital, with a selection that balances Montana voices with national and international literature. The Montana authors section features both established names and emerging writers, creating a shelf that doubles as a snapshot of the state's evolving literary landscape. The outdoor recreation section serves Helena's active population with guides to the surrounding mountains, rivers, and trail systems. The political science collection sees particular traffic during legislative sessions, when the store becomes a meeting ground for lawmakers, journalists, and engaged citizens. The in-store cafe serves Montana-roasted coffee, and the modern, light-filled space creates a welcoming atmosphere that draws browsers of all ages. The children's section is growing rapidly, reflecting the store's commitment to nurturing the next generation of Montana readers.
