Located off Lake Blaine Road, Parkland Books has been a treasure trove for bibliophiles seeking national park books and publications or rare and out-of-print books.

Customers who visit Parkland Books today will see the shop in a period of transition. Owners Ed and Marge Rothfuss are downsizing after nearly three decades in the valley. Any remaining inventory will be stocked at a booth they rent and recently expanded in the Antiques Market located downstairs of Western Outdoor on Main Street in Kalispell.

The motivation to completely operate out of the Antiques Market is due to health reasons Ed said, with his wife, Marge, undergoing chemotherapy.
