Cork & Cover was born from Amy’s lifelong dream of opening a bookstore and her shared love of great books and good company over a glass of wine. Founded by Amy and​ her husband Edward McKinzie, lifelong educators from central Missouri, our shop blends the warmth of community with the comfort of a cozy reading nook. With three wonderful children, one grandchild, and two playful dogs, family and connection are at the heart of everything we do. At Cork & Cover, we invite you to settle in, explore new stories, and make memories with friends—because the best chapters are shared.
