Welcome to Windows on the World - Books & Art

Picture

Greetings from Windows on the World - Books & Art! We are a full-service, independent bookstore located in the town of Mariposa in the western foothills of California's central Sierra Nevada. We are at the southern end of the historic Mother Lode gold-mining region and on the “all year highway” into Yosemite National Park, one of America’s premiere national parks. 

Our Books

In addition to a broad and eclectic selection of new and used books, we specialize in titles relating to the natural and cultural history, art, and literature of Yosemite National Park, Mariposa County, the Mother Lode, the Sierra Nevada, California, and the West, including maps, atlases, guide books, and travelogues.

We have three rooms, each with its own theme.  The front room is the World of Nature and Spirit, with our regional, nature, science, religious and travel sections.  The second is the World of Humankind and the Individual, which features our fiction, biography, history, social and global issues, poetry, drama, art and photography, music and performing arts, self-help, dieting, health and fitness, reference, humor, sports and young adult sections.  The back room is the World of Family and Children, with a large children's selection alongside the family and parenting, education, cooking, arts and crafts, pets and livestock, gardening, and home improvement sections.

Who We Are

A relative newcomer to the downtown Mariposa business community, we envision our store becoming a local community resource: a gathering place; an "information station"; a venue for artists, writers, musicians, and people; and things we haven't even dreamed of yet!  While the bookstore is new to the community, owners Gary and Reva Colliver are long-time community members. Having met and married in Yosemite in the early '60's, they have travelled widely, yet always returned "home" to the Sierra Nevada, Yosemite, and Mariposa County.
