    I visit indie bookstores when traveling, and J Michaels Books is no exception. It was delightful to find a newer compilation of essays by Vivian Gornick. What I wasn't expecting was the fabulous greeting by the 30 something male cashier. "Vivian Gornick - she's so wonderful." We proceeded to discuss much of her work. Delighted to hear his appreciation of the 89 y/o fearless second-wave feminist thinker!

    Amazing selection! Saw a lot of things I've been wanting to snag, but on a business trip so couldn't get everything unfortunately. All the books were high quality as well. The employees were friendly; I didn't need any help but I noticed they helped several customers. One of the workers was very nice and commented on several customers books, striking up genuine conversation. Would definitely come back here!

    Support local bookstores!

    Support local bookstores!! My new year's resolution for 2023 was to read at least one book per month. Here we are in October and I have already read 13 books! And 90 percent of these books I purchased at local Eugene bookstores. I started the ACOTAR series and I have purchased every book of the series from J Michaels. They have a little section of the store dedicated to the series. So whenever I was about halfway through one book, I would make a special trip to pick up the next one. Not sure what I am going to read once I complete the series, but I will continue supporting the smaller local bookstores as I continue my reading journey.

    I want them all! Being inclined towards the concept and reality of magic, I went straight for this section.

    I love this place! I love browsing the titles. I went in one morning and it was so nice and quiet and I was so excited to see all these books that I cannot wait to add to my home library. I ordered a book and they responded within a week.

    plenty of books with titles that caught my eye

    I was on a time-crunch so I only had time to do a quick peruse and not purchase but I was very impressed with the selection. My eyes were continually drawn to all the books with captivating titles and eccentric covers. Bookstores like these make it easy to shop small and local because even if their prices aren't cheaper their stock isn't something you'll find yourself stumbling on online or finding on Amazon. This bookstore has a great curation. It was organized and I particularly loved the displays in the front of the store and the little inventions (like "book darts") they sell. When I come back to Oregon, I'll make sure to stop by and buy a book! :)))

    I have a dear friend from bookselling days some 40 years ago on the east coast, and he now works at this independent bookstore in downtown Eugene.
