COVID Updates
The pandemic has been a part of our lives for over a year but Foggy Pine Books remains committed to keeping our staff & customers as safe as possible. We are open to the public, with a few rules to follow. Walk-in hours are limited to 11am-7pm, though we will be available for phone calls & pickup anytime during our regular hours: Mon-Sat from 9am-7pm.
As excited as we are to return to in-store shopping, we are putting some rules in place to continue keeping safe those that are most vulnerable in our community. These rules are:
- Masks are REQUIRED. Yes, we know what the CDC says. No, we are not going to change the mask rule so don't ask & don't harass our staff.
- Masks must be made of adequate protective material (no mesh, etc.) & must cover your nose & mouth in order to enter the store. (Children age 2 & under are the ONLY exception to this rule.)
- Use of the hand sanitizer station at the entrance is mandatory. We will provide gloves for anyone who cannot use hand sanitizer. If you bring your own gloves, you will still be required to use sanitizer on the gloves.
- Only 8 people will be allowed into the store at once to provide staff & customers sufficient room to socially distance.
- If a line forms to enter the store, each customer will be limited to 30 min browsing time.
- No food or drink will be allowed in the store at this time. We will not be selling our coffee or tea right now, either.
- Finally, the store is not open for lounging. We know you miss just hanging out at the store or coming by only to visit the cats but right now the only folks allowed inside the store will be those who want to browse for shopping.
If you cannot or do not want to follow these rules, you will not be allowed inside the store.
However, we are still accepting and encouraging orders over the phone (828) 386-1219, via email, or on our website.
We offer free Media Mail shipping for orders over $30, local delivery within the Town of Boone, curbside pick-up, and a drive thru window as contact-less options to make getting your books as easy as possible.

Welcome, New & Returning Readers!
Back in February, the coolest thing happened to us: we were featured on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert! We were chosen by their research team as a small business impacted by Covid & they created an ad for us. This ad was shown on Super Bowl Sunday during The Late Show. We knew it was going to happen but not what the ad consisted of & were delighted to see Tom Hanks & hear the captivating voice of Sam Elliot encouraging folks to shop with us. If you haven't seen it yet, you can view the ad below, as well as the reaction of the owner when they saw it for the first time.
We're so grateful for the support & love we've received from folks all over the world. It's been beyond exciting! In fact, we received so much support from new folks that we had to hire 4 new people in order to get your orders processed. So, if you want to make sure we can keep those booksellers in their positions, we hope you'll continue to shop with us & let us provide you with great books and excellent customer service.
So, if you're here from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, 👋Hello👋
And thanks so much for joining us 😄 We're delighted to have you!
We're so glad you were Found in the Fog! Happy Reading!
