I was impressed by the special editions they carried and was impressed by their reasonable pricing. My favorite part was seeing all the local authors featured! We have a lot of literary talent in the PNW and it's even better when purchased from a local bookstore. Come when you have plenty of time! I had to rush a bit because I was fitting it in while in the area and I could spend hours here. Each genre is filled with options and there are so, so many. Great service, the staff is really friendly and welcoming.

The employee was super friendly and even took a minute to look in a to-be-sorted pile just to make sure that they really didn't have what I wanted. The best part of the store?

This store is wonderful and the reason I want to leave a review today is because a lady who works there was so helpful. Our granddaughter is getting older, she's turning eight, and it's a little harder to make good gift decisions. I wish I knew this woman's name, I don't, but she helped point us to things that are really on the nose. Recommend this store highly. And ask the staff for recommendations.

You could tell they were a community business, they had a community food pantry and had a section for books that featured the PNW.

The mystery book my sister bought was fun and had some great stickers, the ladies behind the register were really friendly.
