Founded in 1927, books have always been more than merchandise at Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops. Its obvious how much Schwartz staff love books at this Milwaukee-based business and providing readers with the books they seek is a commitment they do not make lightly. With four retail locations, Schwartz Bookshops has become Milwaukee's oldest and largest independent bookseller because they work hard to maintain a broad selection of titles and offer the kind of personal service found in a good, old-fashioned bookshop.


Harry W. Schwartz bookshops carries on a rich tradition of promoting fine writing and bringing talented authors to Milwaukee. Named Publishers Weeklys Bookseller of the Year in 2004, it hosts close to 300 events each year.

"Bookselling was and is for me a cultural and political expression of progressive change, of challenge to oppressive authority, of a search for a community of values which can act as an underpinning of a better world. The true profit in bookselling is the social profit; the bottom line, the measure of the impact of the bookshop on the community." - A. David Schwartz
