Janke Book Store

Its one of Wausau's best retail treasures. They do a great job of bringing in new and fun items, along with a great selection of local history books. They have a bit of everything from books & magazines to office supplies, candles, jewelry, games and much more. They have a bargain basement with tons of deals of high quality hard cover books. If you're in a hurry, the staff is super helpful and knowledgeable, and if you've got the time, you could spend hours in there, and not at the same thing twice. If you visit Wausau, take a few minutes out of your day, and visit Wisconsin's oldest bookstore. you'll be glad you did.

This is a very nice, quiet, bookstore. Very nice selection of new and used books, as well as gifts and treats. Very nice! 👍

Beautiful gifts and new books upstairs. Interesting mix of used books and other items downstairs. Would have liked to see even more used paperbacks...for my reading obsession.

This store has everything! I get lost inside for hours and always come out with an armfull. They have tons of new books as well as lots of used books downstairs for kids and adults. They also sell socks, mugs, scarfs, bags, cards, and more. It's so fun to walk inside never knowing what I will come out with. The woman working on the day I visited was also very friendly and interesting to talk with. One tip before you go: if you need to use the restroom be sure to ask for the key.

This is perhaps the largest privately owned bookstore in Wisconsin. It has a huge selection of books, magazines, and other items. It has great customer service. I always try to visit when I'm in Wausau.
