Boneshaker Books

Boneshaker Books is a volunteer-run, radical bookstore based in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN. We aim to introduce readers to leftist politics, facilitate conversations, support ongoing movements, and collectively create a space that will grow, evolve, and respond to community needs and pressing issues. In addition to slinging books, we house the Sanctuary Supply Depot, a community risograph machine, and the Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America (TCDSA). You can support our work by buying books here or at our brick-and-mortar location!
