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.

I love visiting this little bookshop every time in Walla Walla. Honestly, it's more of a gift…read moreshop/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!

Favorite authors include kurt vonnegut, j.d. salinger, haruki murakami, & sherman alexie. The owner did not know what the word "memoir" meant much less recognized it as a genre. That makes me pretty skeptic about her knowledge. The old lady that runs the place seems to be more of a book hoarder than retailer. Books on top of books hiding other books.. most shelves are double or triple packed. Focuses mostly on romance and mystery. there are gems hidden here but you have to look. Last time I went (a year ago, heard the owner had tried to sell it since then?) the books were relatively over-priced ... many I could order from amazon & pay less for, S&H included.

Ju, the proprietor and owner, is such a friendly and knowledgeable person with her wares, and she supports the local commerce by carrying locally created and sourced candles, soaps, lotions, and handmade greeting cards.

You feel like you're a kid on a treasure hunt & it's a blast to look for treasure. I found some great books on average the price for a book seem to be seven dollars plus tax. The staff was extremely nice and helpful as well. Highly recommend this place for families! They also have a children's room in the back with children's books.

I bought a clock made from excess graphite and process tubes from the Hanford reactors (so it was never used in the actual reactor, with no chance of radioactivity), supplied by the B Reactor Museum Association. The gift shop proceeds are used to fund interpretative projects at the reactor, make displays, and support many other reactor related projects. The owner is also a former Health Physicist at the Hanford Vitrification Project. The rest of the shop has a dizzying array of books, scifi toys, memorabilia, and posters. There's even a cordoned off rare book room which contains books from the 1600's and first editions of books. This shop is a labor of love and much appreciated. They can be open even beyond their posted hours, so if you're in the area, it's worth stopping by to check it out!

This is my second trip here. I'm going to make it a priority that whenever I'm in Richland that I'm…read moregoing to stop here every single time. This place is amazing! He has all kinds of collectibles here. Rows and rows of books, old out of print books , expensive rare 1st edition books, movie props and memorabilia, movie posters, pop-culture collectibles, collectible sci-fi toys, tons of Hanford Nuclear collectibles and souvenirs. And his personal service to you is great too. I asked about a particular topic in sci-fi that I was trying to find a book on, but I couldn't remember the author and he knew exactly which authors to look for in that genre right off the top of his head! The man is a wealth of knowledge. You could easily spend a couple of hours in here just looking at everything he has to offer. Although I wanted to buy more, I did end up purchasing an old hardback book of Treasure Island from 1924 that I've always fancied. One of my favorites from my childhood. Not a big purchase, but it was one that I had wanted. More people need to know about this place.

There are two book sellers I have loved to visit for many years. One is in Portland or used to be…read more It's name is Powell's Books. It's hard to say if it remains intact in the trying times that city condones as of late. This I do not know. I no longer travel to Portland for pleasure. This shoppe is the other. The Archives. It's a place of solitude where you can be inundated with books. You can wander there as long as you like. No one will intrude on you. Help is available for the askance. If books are not your particular cup of tea on any given day many other amusements await. Video this, Audio that and several genres of either. The store is ever changing. Who knows what treasures abound this day or next week? You're looking for what book? Of course you can't find it! How could you? I've been here countless times and I seldom try very hard to find something particular. I query the wizard behind the book sellers desk, (you may have to look hard to see him), he may have what you seek, but not on a shelf. Perhaps tucked away for one reason or another. It may here but not for sale per se. Maybe it is on a shelf and still seems to be invisible. If it's here, he will know that and where. If it isn't, it's likely he can obtain a copy. Book sellers have stores that are like the multitudes you see, you know, in strip malls, in boutiques, and so on. It seems someone has a stamp and just stamps one in this city, then the next city and so on. Boxes, little boxes and they all look just the same. You get my drift. That, thank the Gods is NOT THE CASE here. The owner is a purveyor of books. He eats, breathes, buys, sells and covets books. Yes, he is a wizard. Pooh, pooh you say, I can't blame you. I may have just happened upon a review like this one thought pooh pooh it as well. If you disagree with me friend, you haven't been in his shoppe that's all. There isn't another place like The Archives. There isn't another wizard like the one operating this shoppe. If books pique your interest with the tiniest twinge remember, the magic in the world is fleeting and fading. "Seize the day."
