A general, independent bookstore located on Porter Avenue in downtown Ocean Springs.

The origin of "porter"; is a person stationed at a door or gate to admit or assist those entering; one who carries. Founders Heather and Dave Denison’s mission is to be Porters of Books, to admit and assist all who enter with books that entertain, enlighten, empower, and educate.

“You see, bookshops are dreams built of wood and paper. They are time travel and escape and knowledge and power. They are, simply put, the best of places.”
—Jen Campbell
