Vintage Books has been a haunt of mine for decades.

Prices were always excellent, the selection surprisingly robust, and the staff friendly and helpful, if a bit timid. Happily, not much has changed in the last thirty years, and this is one of the few instances where I would say that is absolutely a good thing. In the age of Amazon, eReaders, audiobooks, and every other conceivable method of circumventing the written (and more importantly, *printed*) word, it's almost shocking that little backend bookstores like this are able to survive...but I am thankful that they have.

The books are well-organized, pricing is clear and fair, and visitors will likely find books they didn't know they wanted or needed!

Take note of the store's collection of whimsical miniature books, as well as a wonderful selection of publisher bindings. Please visit this charming bookstore!

This Barnes & Noble has the typical layout, although a bit smaller, which makes it easier for loyal customers to find their way around. Wide aisles, well stocked best sellers, summer reading, classics, puzzles - all the norms. There are no public restrooms. There is no Starbucks or Cafe. I'm fine with that since they are part of a large outside mall and there are plenty of food options all around. Needed assistance finding a few books and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very convenient to have this new addition at Cascade Stations, another store to stop in while I'm running errands.

Lots of games and puzzles etc. I did not see a lot of seats to just kind of hang out and chill but that's OK. I believe they have a restroom in the back however, I did not ask if you needed a code, etc. but I assume so since it's a Portland! This location is sandwiched in between Banana Republic and Bath and Bodyworks. Plenty of parking and lots of other shops to hit just walking around.

Luckily, Portland has a wonderful reading community that operates Rose City Reads. I actually found out about this location from a volunteer at the store in the Main library. Located in a strip mall, this location is out in the northeast, an area with few bookstores. Each time I've ventured in, there are plenty of other patrons roaming the stacks. And because this location is run by caring volunteers, it's always well organized with clearly labeled shelves. About half of the books are library discards, while the rest are community donations. And most everything is less than $5, so there are plenty of deals to be had.

I loved observing kiddos find treasures and excitedly move from one shelf to the next.

Oh, and they have a large selection of books with sprayed edges. I just picked these beauties up this afternoon. Happy reading!

Me: Is the material here in the store? Paper Moon: Sure. It's in this box. (Reaches out and touches the box.) Me: Could I look through it right here, in front of you? I'll be really careful. Paper Moon: No. Me: Could you look through it, and see if you have any XYZ in it? Paper Moon: No. You'd have to go online. Me: And if I find something online, could I come and pick it up?
