FAQ's

What is your store? 

We are a "museum disguised as a bookstore!" From the bricks on the floor to the roof tiles in our little English Village "Shops," Moon's was created to be a once-in-a-lifetime destination for everyone who comes through our doors. We believe every item in our store has a story; and we strive to share those stories with our customers when they visit us. All of our staff are happy to assist you with anything you need while you're visiting our store. 

Do you sell your books?

Yes! Almost all of the books you will see on display in our store are for sale; however, some of the antiques, movie props, artifacts, objects that you see are not currently for sale. Even if they aren't on sale, we'd be happy to share what we know about any item you might be interested in!

Can I meet Mr. Moon if I come visit your store? 

Mr. Moon enjoys meeting the customers who come into our store! However; he is not always available. He spends about half of his year traveling around the world to continue to hunt for new treasures. When he is in town, and at the bookstore, if he has time he is happy to come out and say "hi" to our visitors. Unfortunately; there is no guarantee he will be available during your visit. The best way to ensure you get to meet Mr. Moon is to purchase tickets to one of our "Public" Show & Tell events or book your own "Private" Showing if you are visiting from out of town. Please see our "Events" tab on our website for further details on our Show and Tell events.
