About Us

A tesseract, as Madeleine L'Engle described it in A Wrinkle in Time, is a way to travel impossible distances in an instant. It felt like the right name for a bookstore. Open since August 2025, Tesseract carries a curated selection of classics, contemporary fiction, science fiction, political and social justice nonfiction, and science and mathematics.
