Appletree Books
Appletree Books, an independent bookstore established in 1975, offers an eclectic, well curated selection of new book titles in multiple genres for both children and adults. The store is located in the Cedar Fairmount neighborhood at 12419 Cedar Road in the historic Heights Center building, up the hill from Cleveland’s University Circle. We are proud to be celebrating our 41st year in our original location.
We seek to offer books that transport readers to other places, both visually and verbally, and aim to introduce beautifully illustrated and interesting books to our customers.
We feature greeting cards, journals, letterpress cards and notecards in addition to puzzles, bookends, candles and small gift items in an intimate, warm space in the historic Heights Center building.

My thanks this month are extended to Appletree staff members who manage to smile and deliver great customer service in spite of the noise and disruption out front: Ed Alix, Julia Biers, Kristina Eisenhower, Annie Holden, Lorie Novak, Jane Rothstein and Michael Wells. Appletree Books is truly a team effort amidst challenging conditions!
As Cedar Fairmount construction continues to disrupt daily commutes, travel and walking patterns, Appletree Books remains open amidst the dust and orange barrels. To minimize your exposure to noise and uneven pavements, please consider using our back entrance accessible from the alley running parallel to the parking garage directly behind the store. We welcome you anytime!

Book Groups are a great way to read good books, learn about new authors, and meet new friends! Appletree Books hosts several Book Groups throughout the year. Led by knowledgeable facilitators, our groups are designed to introduce you to great books in an informal setting that is fun and informative. Groups typically meet for 60-90 minutes once a month. The books we will be discussing are announced in advance. We meet in the store or at another location in the Cedar Fairmount neighborhood.
