King's Books has an incredible atmosphere and a real appreciation for independent authors, poetry, and the arts. I had the opportunity to speak with the staff while traveling through the Pacific Northwest, and I'm honored to now have my book stocked in their store. Purple Rose is a collection of 33 poetic love letters written to one woman in Raleigh, North Carolina. You can also order books directly from their website and pay upon pickup.

The bookstore is sleek, clean and very well organized with a good selection of books. The staff member was very friendly and eager to assist me in getting a special order started for a book I was looking for. The special order came in a few days ago which is going to prompt a return visit and perhaps even additional books to purchase. Looking forward to continuing being a customer at this lovely bookstore!

I was impressed by the special editions they carried and was impressed by their reasonable pricing. My favorite part was seeing all the local authors featured! We have a lot of literary talent in the PNW and it's even better when purchased from a local bookstore. Come when you have plenty of time! I had to rush a bit because I was fitting it in while in the area and I could spend hours here. Each genre is filled with options and there are so, so many. Great service, the staff is really friendly and welcoming.

Great selection and solid pricing. Most books fall in the $7-$20 range, with a nice mix of new and…read moreused titles. The checkout experience was smooth, though the space is a bit tight and there aren't many cashiers, so I could see it getting crowded during busy times. The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the buyback program. I brought in 12 books that were new or in like-new condition (no damage, no markings and some hadn't even been read) and was offered just $0.50 per book, totaling $7 for all 12. This included three complete series and several standalone titles. Out of curiosity, I checked their shelves and saw some of the same books priced between $8-$15 each. Overall, it's a great place to shop for books, but I wouldn't recommend selling here if you're hoping to get fair value especially if your books are in excellent condition.

The gentleman at the main counter acknowledges your presence upon entering. I enjoyed wandering around the shop. More like zigzagging because I was trying to decide among which titles caught my attention. The humorous journals and cards elicited some smirks from me. Nice selection of titles in various genres. Even the kiddos will enjoy the children's section. Gift ideas galore. I ended up buying the graphic novel "Woman Life Freedom" edited by Marjane Satrapi. I enjoyed this French-Iranian author's previous work, Persepolis. A perfect purchase for International Women's Month. Highly recommended visit for bibliophiles!

Places to just sit and hang out with books are usually some of the most welcoming places for those of us who adore books but on this day, the vibe was off. I'd give them 5 stars but we were not greeted when we walked in the door because the employees were too busy being trained on some computer software or something, nor were we asked if they could help us when they saw (or probably didn't see because they were too busy with themselves) that we were wandering around. Seemed kind of odd for as many people who were behind the counter to not want to help the three customers who walked in the door. Other reviewers have noted how friendly and helpful the staff were when they visited but that was not our experience. Since we were from out of town, this will probably be our only visit to the store. Maybe their online process is more friendly.
