There are few combinations as magical as a Newport summer and a good book. Add in a 1961 Studebaker Champ, custom fit to carry hundreds of your favorite reads, and you have one definition of perfection.

Flatbed Fiction is bringing the joy and curiosity sparked by reading out into the world. We carry mostly paperbacks, we love a good “beach read” (and offer those titles with pride), and — despite our name — you’ll find nonfiction and children’s books on our shelves as well.

Find us popping up at community events, coffee shops and outdoor spaces across Newport County this summer. Keep scrolling to plan your visit to the rolling book shop.
