Montana Books

We love a tall tale.

Montanans love reading books. They could be at home, at a park, or camping in the backcountry, and they will have a book by their side. Some folks prefer to read on a tablet, but most love having a physical copy in their hands.

It's evident Montanans love books. Big Sky Country is home to dozens of local and national bookstores.

Montana has been the setting for many legendary stories over the years.

Westerns, romance, horror, and many other genres have made Big Sky Country the perfect setting for their story and characters.

A River Runs Through It, The Horse Whisperer, and The Only Good Indians are legendary books written about Montana and have become best sellers.

These books became best sellers for a reason. The story, characters, and setting pull the readers in, and they don't want to put it down.

Is there another Montana book that should be on your radar?
