Book & Cranny: A New Chapter & Vintage Treasures

A love of books, an eye for antiques and a story that began as childhood sweethearts. Book & Cranny brings Shawn and Richard Uphoff’s two passions together in a welcoming new shop in downtown Fountain Hills.

The longtime local residents raised their family here, and Shawn has been an active supporter of Fountain Hills nonprofits. With Richard recently retired, the couple is beginning a new chapter together, sharing the things they love with the community they call home.

Richard brings his love of books, while Shawn brings her appreciation for antiques and vintage finds. Following its October 1st opening, Book & Cranny offers a new reason to slow down and explore downtown Fountain Hills.

Locally Found, Thoughtfully Curated

Part of the shop’s charm is the care behind its collection. Shawn and Richard have sourced their inventory locally through sales, auctions and estate sales, using their keen eye to select pieces with character, history and appeal.

The shelves hold a mix of timeless classics, modern favorites, rare antiquarian titles and collectible editions. Alongside the books, antiques, vintage décor and collectibles make browsing feel like a treasure hunt.

You might discover a favorite book from years ago, a thoughtful gift or a piece that brings a little Southwestern charm to your home. Every find reflects the couple’s shared enjoyment of discovering something worth passing along.

A Cozy Place to Explore

Book & Cranny brings books, art and vintage treasures together in a space that invites conversation and curiosity. It’s the pleasure of picking up a book, noticing the details of an antique and hearing about a find from the people who chose it.

Whether you’re a collector searching for a special addition to your shelves or simply enjoying an afternoon downtown, there’s plenty to catch your eye.

Next time you’re out for lunch or a stroll, stop in, meet Shawn and Richard, and see what you discover. Their new chapter is a lovely addition to the Fountain Hills community.
