I admittedly felt that it was small and limited in options, but I asked someone on staff for suggestions and I'm so glad I did! The team is incredibly knowledgeable so if you have something you want (for me I wanted wlw fantasy preferably with dragons), they are happy to point you in several right directions :) Also didn't spend as much as I thought I would on 3 books, so that was a pleasant surprise! Love you B&N

I've been wanting to visit Book Tree for the longest time! As a bibliophile, I try and support…read moresmall bookstores wherever I go as much as possible and Book Tree was a shop that made this easy peasy. We visited Book Tree half an hour before it closed on a Saturday, so when we walked in, there was a small group of people sitting around in a small group. The owner warmly greeted us and mentioned that they had a visiting author here, but if we had any questions or needed help, to let him know. A book shop that has author readings and lectures? LOVE THIS ALREADY. Book Tree is located on Market Street, up the hill from downtown Kirkland. There was even designated street parking just for this store. The space isn't the largest, so they're not going to have everything here. But there are so many treasures to be found! They have a first edition of many books that are affordably priced. Most of the books are used here, which I prefer. But if you're looking for a new book, they have a few of that. You mostly come here, scanning through the shelves, bending down and looking through all sections because some of the books will be misplaced and it's a little untidy. But honestly, I love book stores like this because the hunt for a good book makes it al the more appealing! And you never know what you'll find. I was able to find a book that's not as common and easily found at other stores of one my favorite authors. Score! Book Tree is a must visit for any book worm in Kirkland and beyond! The owner is super friendly and welcoming of dogs and the store has a good selection of books to browse through and take home! I'm so happy to have found this charming book store in Kirkland.

Bookstores are challenging to find and independent bookstores with new content even more. My friend and I stopped here on a whim and from a glance I thought it would be smaller than I had expected but it ended up being much longer than wide offering a ton of content with an easy flow. We were far from alone as there were many other customers milling about, and that is where I saw this little store shine as it was fairly easy to navigate without feeling trapped on enclosed. There were areas to step off into and let people pass, the check-out counter moved quickly, and everyone was super polite. I was very impressed with all the content. There were many different book sections as well as fun gift ideas and funny stickers. Both my friend I enjoyed walking through the aisles taking everything in. I certainly will be back and hope that my bibliophile friends come by to check this store out!

They have tons of cool events posted on flyers and chalkboards that are worth checking out. I really liked their selection and it's organized really well. I took a couple pictures of books I want to come back for. I just wish the space was a little cozier, though that's not much of something they can help.

Updating my review since it's been a couple of years. This is a Mormon/LDS bookstore that has much…read moremore than just books. Deseret Book is owned by the LDS Church. Prices are reasonable. They have a book club like Barnes & Noble that you have to pay $25 to join with a yearly renewal. It's worth the cost if you are a frequent buyer but not if you rarely come in. You get 6 free digital downloads and some free items with membership, among discounts and other things they toss in. The temple clothing store is now part of Deseret Book. It's located in the back of the store. All of the clothes for the temple along with kids clothes for baptisms and blessings are sold here. They now let you try things on before you buy. This chain sells a lot of things besides books. They also sell the following as long as it's Christian or spiritually based: office supplies, art (prints, framed oils, sculptures), home decor, crafts, board games, DVDs, CDs, jewelry, sheet music, church classroom materials, scrapbooking supplies, and more. They sell some candies, snacks and beverages. They sell fry sauce for those from Utah who like it and can't figure out how to squeeze mayo and ketchup into a bowl and mix it together. ;) If you come in on a weekday, the staff is few so expect to wait for a bit for service.

If you are ever looking for a book in the Seattle area, this spot should be first on your list!
