About

Forged by fire. Run on conversation.

The Hermeticus Bookshop reopened in Ashland's Railroad District in November 2021 after the original Talent location was lost in the Almeda Fire. It's a general used bookstore with bestsellers, classic literature, children's books, and a notably deep metaphysical section. Browse, read a while, play a game of chess, or just talk. The owners are usually here. Peaches — their rescue dog — is here too.
