Daniel Rothon opened Coyote Indie Books in downtown Grand Forks in December 2018, and is happy with the feedback from his customers. “Independent bookstores are becoming a niche thing,” Rothon said, “and I’m attracting people from the surrounding communities as well.”

Coyote Indie’s carries a blend of new and used books, with vintage and collectible readables including classic era comics, first editions and leather-bound books. The store also brings in clever, practical book-themed merchandise including tees, hats, socks, bags and such from Out of Print in New York. And check Coyote Indie’s excellent website for info about its publishing service.
