Wicked Good Books & Silly Bunny Toys
About
Wicked Good Books is Salem’s independent bookstore, paired with the toy shop Silly Bunny Toys. The bookstore carries a wide selection of new titles and local favorites, along with hoodies, totes and other merchandise printed with its kitty logo. Silly Bunny fills the toy side with brands rarely found in big-box stores alongside some familiar names, plus kids’ books, puppets, games and puzzles, and popular lines such as Calico Critters and their blind bags.
The bookstore welcomes both locals and visitors from around the world. It also acts as a community gathering spot, sponsoring author events through the year along with boozy book fairs and even an adult spelling bee. Local history gets attention too, including a book on Salem’s history, Salem’s Centuries, from Salem State University history professors Donna Seger and Brad Austin, which covers African-American history, the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and the twentieth century.
