Free local delivery! As in the name, books & games for a variety of ages. Peruse through the aisles for fandom knickknacks in random spots and find something you think is too cute you just have to buy. The strange staff lady behind the counter, possibly the owner or manager, is very uptight and could use some refreshing on welcoming service. read more

I love visiting this little bookshop every time in Walla Walla. Honestly, it's more of a gift shop/book shop/game store mix, and it is always chock-full of fun little trinkets to look at. All of the employees here are super friendly, and the store overall has a great vibe. Fair warning, it is always PACKED around the holidays, but for good reason-- there isn't a better spot to grab a Christmas gift. The prices are very reasonable, and I think the selection is pretty good for the size of the store. During my most recent visit, my MIL purchased me a beautiful edition of Paradise Lost for ~$20, which I thought was a steal. It's well printed and contains a lot of the gorgeous Doré woodblock prints, which I absolutely love. I will definitely be back! read more

See all

I always visit a bookstore when traveling. Book and Game did not disappoint. They have a nice display of recent releases and best sellers at the entry, but a leisurely stroll is necessary to truly enjoy all its delights. Quirky gifts, scented candles, beautiful cards and fun magnets lure you in and kept me entertained. I left with Theo's Candy, three boxes of notecards and a new book I've wanted to read. It's a nice change of pace from the wineries. read more

What a cute little book store and more! They have a thoughtfully organized selection of books, games and trinkets. I found a selection of stickers near the counter to be exceptional. If you are looking for a unique gift for someone, this might be just the place. The staff was helpful and kind, even if you do show up right when they open. I found the pricing to be average, so I'm giving four solid stars! read more

This place is sitting on prime real estate, right in the middle of downtown Walla Walla, a tourist destination for the rich and famous. So, what keeps this particular bookstore in business when a book can purchased via the Internet and arrive on a doorstep the next day? It's called diversification. Here are the top 10 reasons to come on in: 1. Socks! Yep, unique, fun socks. 2. Coffee cups (or tea, if that is your preference). Cute ones! Even teapots. 3. Calendars, journals, stationery. 4. Boxed thank you cards. Because it is still the right thing to do, a handwritten thank you card scores a lot of points. 5. Puzzles and games (unique ones). When you can't find it elsewhere, you'll find it here, and if you can't, ask the clerk because it can be ordered in. 6. Books from local authors: Sara VanDonge, Patrick Carmen. Books from not local authors, too. Advanced Placement prep books. If procrastination is your middle name and you need that prep book now, get 'em here. 7. Grumpy Cat in book form or stickers. 8. Soap. The good stuff, locally made. 9. Unique bookmarks. Disclaimer: they don't work on your Kindle, but if you like the old-fashion feel of a REAL book in your hands, then these bookmarks are definitely cool. They also make great stocking stuffers for book lovers. 10. Lots of other unique gifts. Plus, you are supporting the local economy and a local business. So, come on in, you'll be glad you did. read more

Book and Game Company - Bookstores Near Me - Walla Walla, Washington

I was so disappointed not to be able to shop here. I was looking forward to buying gifts for my three girls but when I went in today (9/11), one of the women at the register wasn't wearing a mask and nor were several of the customers. Sad. read more

It is an ok bookstore. NO Powell's house of books. Sometimes a little uncomfortable if there are many people in there. There is NO seating. While the inside of the store is usually fairly clean and neat, the outside of the building is really dirty. The windows and widow ledges look like they have never seen a hose. The sidewalks are full of gum and dirt. The building itself has chunks taken out of the stucco and that is right outside of the front door. I am really saddened the disregard this business shows for their surroundings, even if they don't own the building, show some pride and keep things clean around you. For a business in the heart of downtown, this is pretty bad. read more

This is a fun store and the name describes them well. They have a great selection of books, board games, toys and trinkets. It's a fun shop to wander around In for a while. They've been around for years and I remember when they were in the Blue Mountain Mall. read more

What a find in Walla Walla! Such a fantastic independent bookstore! Super friendly staff and a really terrific selection. Maybe it just happens to be in all the areas I personally like, but great variety in kids books, local titles, magazines, cookbooks, not to mention a super cool toy and game section. Best of all perhaps is the teacher resource/educational section. Now knowing I will probably have to homeschool as disappointed as I am in Pendleton, Oregon schools (but that's another story entirely), this store has a fantastic workbook and resource section. Oh and they let your kids play with stuff! (Unlike some other local stores... Ahem...see my other bookstore reviews!) My kid had a meltdown when it was time to go and he couldn't stay with the marble run all day. And nobody rolled their eyes at me and hinted that it was high time for me to leave... :) read more

LOVE this place, my kids love browsing there games and cards. Really nice to have such a fun bookstore in Walla Walla.

This is my favorite bookstore! I love the selection of board games, and a good selection of books. Bethany was very helpful and suggested I am Number 4 to me. Love this place! Definitely going back soon! read more

One of the employees was able to find me the Immortal series online, and had it special ordered to me. I'm glad they helped me figure that out. read more

I called Book and Game looking for the Willow Tree Angels. They didn't carry them but gave me suggestions of two other places to call. Unfortunately neither of the places carried them either. About 5 minutes later, I get a call back from the employee I spoke to at Book and Game and he had found them at the two local hospitals in town. I thought it was very sweet to go above and beyond to help me find what I was looking for, even though I wasn't purchasing it from their store. Shows what good people they have working there. Thank you :) read more
