neighbor books was founded by mckinney locals joey and ginny honescko in july 2024 to provide a place for people to read and be together.

we believe reading is a deeply human act that trains us in the act of empathy and empowers us to better care for one another.

in an age of isolation and division, reading invites us to sit and listen to another perspective.

in an age of speed and productivity, reading invites us to sit and stay awhile.

in an age of automation and inattention, readings invites us to slow down and look around.

in the age of machinery, reading invites us to become more human.

neighbor books seeks to return what has been lost in a digital world. we want the tacticle, the present, the patient, and the slow. we know the reward is worth it.

more than just a physical bookstore, neighbor books is purveyor and advocate for analog products that empower more present ways of being.

inside our walls, you'll find...

- stationary and paper goods

- puzzles and games

- handmade goods

- a curated used section

- art and activity books.

we also host partner businesses who are essential parts of the revolution like mckinney camera (independent documentary filmmaking) and heyday press (luxury letterpress printing).
