Great little indie bookstore. Small but mighty, located in quaint downtown McMinnville. Third…read moreStreet Books is well curated and they have a lot of insightful handwritten staff recommendations placed by selected books, which is something we really appreciate about a good indie. We got a fascinating nonfiction book on the unseen world of plant intelligence for our botany fan, that we may not have otherwise picked up, thanks to a staff recommendation.

I absolutely love this little bookstore right in the middle of the iconic Third Street…read more This has been my go-to bookstore for the last year and a half and they have always had what I am looking for - or will order it and get it in quickly for pickup. I never feel like I am overpaying for a book, which I often do at other smaller book retailers. The value is great, the service is always friendly, and I am always so excited for my next visit.

I have been there and they did have the book I was looking for and they were very helpfulread more

Other items for purchase like cards, bags, buttons, stickers, puzzles, art prints, ad naseum. Very welcoming and inclusive indie bookstore. By coincidence the day before while driving out to Cannon Beach from Depoe Bay, I caught an insightful NPR segment on the radio that discussed the history and future of indie bookstores. One of the panelists had their book on the non fiction shelf while at Bob's Beach Books, The Bookshop by Evan Friss.

Checked out Bob's Beach Books while walking along the 101 main road. I wanted to come here during…read moremy last vacation to Lincoln City but they were closed. Visiting them on a day they were open was my chance to see what they had. Unfortunately I couldn't check in here on Yelp because the cell service is not all that great down here, but I have pictures to prove that I visited. They have like every book and book accessory available, used and new. They are neatly organized by genre, which I truly appreciated. I picked up a novel by Michael Thomas Ford and a thumb thing for reading if I'm reading with one hand (whoever invented this thing is very smart and deserves a medal). I also got my mom a gardening journal as a possible Christmas present. My mom loves to garden so I think she'll love this. My boyfriend is a huge fan of Batman and One Piece and got himself some Batman comics and some One Piece manga books. The lady working the counter and who checked out books out was very nice and welcoming. She was also helping out a few people that needed assistance. With bookstores starting to become a thing of the past, Bob's is doing a great job staying in business and I hope they stay open for a very long time.

Lots of wonderful variety, spacious central open area revealing the 2nd floor AND - get this - a resident cat. Me and my friend tried searching for the cute little bugger and almost gave up when we spotted them on the upper stairs behind the guard rope. We left a bit sad. Great spot, thumbs up dudes.

This brand new bookstore just opened. I was curious, so I checked it out…read more It's all bright and clean and new. The workers seemed friendly and there were quite a few other customers there, within an hour of opening. But it never seemed crowded and remained pretty quiet. Here and there they have chairs and tables, so it could be a nice place to sit down with a book for a while. The rows are not straight, so it was a little hard to navigate the store. There were lots of books, but also lots of other things on sale. Puzzles, toys, records, pop culture gifts, and stationary/journals. They had a whole Harry Potter section with the books, of course, but lots of other Potter paraphernalia, like toys, mugs, etc. The signage over some of the sections was missing letters, I think whatever adhesive they used to affix the letters had issues with the curving surface of the book shelves. This store also had lots of events with authors on their event calendar. The cafe seemed like it had the regular snacks and beverages on offer, but I didn't look too hard at the menu. I don't really buy books much anymore (recovering book hoarder here), but this seems like a good addition to the bookstores in the area. I was a little surprised to hear of a new corporate bookstore opening up, but I see they are covering their bases a bit by selling tons of other gifts (and food) along with books. I bet this place will be packed leading up to the holidays!

If a hot book hits the market, the holds at the library will stack up six deep and you have to wait a year to borrow a copy. Also, the library is no longer a reference library, and if you want a classic out of the past, you can find it here. New books are expensive, but that is not this firm's fault. I enjoy getting a coffee and reading my purchase before I leave. The bathrooms need a code for access but employees have been gracious in giving it to me and indeed the behavior of all the employees has been impeccable. I invariably leave in an enhanced mood.

This was a nice stop directly behind the goodwill in west Salem…read more I thought this was strictly used books but they have some new as well. This place is very well organized and they have the pricing written inside the front cover. You can sell back books and join their club to get a discount on future purchases based on the books you sell back. All in all a great set up and I look forward to dropping in again.
