Honestly, I had…read morewalked past this shop many times in my wanderings around downtown Chehalis, but I had not yet stopped in. Imagine my surprise when I walked in and saw what I had been missing all this time!! Truthfully, I thought it was more of a craft store than a book store; but I was completely wrong. There are many, many shelves and aisles of books - much more than I thought there would be. Both "parts" of the store, the books and the craft, are plentiful. Book 'N' Brush have a great selection of all genres of books - adults, teens, kids - and it's already great to have these selections in a local store. Physical space side of things - the aisles are wide, the shelves are deep, book covers are displayed, top sellers are spotlighted - everything is easy to see and the store is easy to navigate. The staff was very friendly with me. Checking in when I walked in and then let me wander and look around without being pushy or making me feel like they were hovering over me. Perfect!! All in all, I was very impressed with Book 'N' Brush and will certainly be back. I love book stores, I love local book stores even more, and this is a great one!

Tacoma was out but the sweet sales associates offered to order or call Seattle. I overheard them on the phone confirming various sizes. So I thanked them & drove up to Seattle. I noticed the Seattle location didn't have the sizes I was told, I asked the guy in charge of frames/ stretchers and he claimed I asked for one size then showed me a different brand from what was confirmed over the phone, a heavy duty variety. When I expressed frustration of being told the wrong thing, he walked off pouting, didn't offer to order any for me like Tacoma did. Not wanting to leave empty handed I grabbed a couple off sizes so I can work. On my way to check out, I informed my friend of what just occured and placed the stretchers at the register. The clerk said "You need to check out over there, Sir." My flabbers were gasted! My monocle popped out! I said "Sir? I'm not a sir!". This was strange and shocking to me. So I went to the proper clerk saying "They just called me Sir. What part of me gives man? I've never been called a man." So yeah I'm mad confused as to why my petite, adorable self in pink & lilac got called a man by someone who would not appreciate being misgendered themselves.... On Pride weekend of all times. And why wasn't I offered to have the supplies ordered for me like in Tacoma? Basically I received a wild goose chase, a bad attitude, lied to about what I overheard confirmed on the phone, and casually misgendered by Seattle staff. Very sad since I prefer supporting local. The Tacoma shop is a vibe with kind, helpful staff. I'll stick with them and Jerry's Art a Rama online. Apparently several reviews report bad behavior from staff over the past year or so. Don't need the funky ahh attitude when I just wanna create.

Was offended when I tested pens, even though there was testing paper put out for the purpose. Then when I put everything back and tried to leave because I didn't like her attitude, she ran towards me, got in my personal space, and accused me of stealing. I wouldn't set foot in this store if it was the last art supply store on earth. Besides the extremely rude staff, the selection is very limited. Should have just gone to the big art supply store in Tacoma like I was planning. Lesson learned! NEVER AGAIN.

Years ago they had a more in-depth stock, but nowadays they rarely have what I'm looking for. The exception is for the loveliest art papers; if you want some marbled, stenciled, or other specialty papers, they have nice ones for a price. But they make their primary income from framing posters and art and pictures for people, and would likely better be called The Frame-it Edge. This they do well indeed.

I had them sent to me, and took them to be framed by Artists Edge Poulsbo. The charge was almost $600 for two rather small items, but I paid it anxious to see my 3-print set reunited. I was told they would be ready in two weeks. On the day they were supposed to be done, I got a voice mail message saying the machine they used to cut the matting "ate" the mat, and they would have to reorder it, delaying finish by another week. The next week I called to confirm delivery on the day promised (Thursday) and this was confirmed. I didn't get there til Friday (I drove specially from Bainbridge Island to pick them up). The framing wasn't done. Then when I got home, I found another voice mail message saying that they had damaged one of the prints, and would try to find a replacement. The other print would not be ready until the following day. Despite ruining this rare print, and missing delivery deadlines multiple times, I never got any apology or other expression of regret on their part. They seemed to regard it all as no big deal (maybe missed deadlines and ruined prints are a common thing at their business). I demanded a refund, which they gave me. I will now try to find another print, and start the process all over again. I will certainly never do business with Artists Edge again.
