COVID Updates
The pandemic continues to be a part of our lives, as much as we wish it wasn't, and Foggy Pine Books remains committed to keeping our staff & customers as safe & healthy as possible.
We are open to the public, with a few rules to follow. Our in-store shopping hours are Mon-Sat from 11am-7pm, though we will be available for phone calls & pickup: Mon-Sat from 9am-7pm.
We have put some rules in place to protect our staff & to continue keeping safe those that are most vulnerable in our community.
These rules are:
- Masks are REQUIRED. Yes, even if you are vaccinated. This is not up for debate or discussion. If you are not wearing a mask or will not put one on then you will not be allowed inside our store.
- 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.
- 10 people are allowed into the store at once to provide staff & customers sufficient room to socially distance.
- If a line forms to enter the store, customers will be limited to 30 min browsing time.
- No food or drink will be allowed in the store at this time. We are no longer selling coffee or tea, either.
- Finally, the store is not open for lounging. We know you miss 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 $30+ , free local delivery (within Boone town limits ONLY), curbside pick-up, and
a drive thru window as contact-less options to make getting your books as easy & safe as possible.

The Colbert Bump
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 that our staff has doubled in size since February & stayed that way. 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!
