They also have sturgeon stuff and Gorge gifts as well as other roadtrip items. My go-to from Portland going east.

What a gem! Founded in 1870 - yes, you read that correctly - Klindt's is the oldest bookstore in…read moreOregon. Dating back to the days of the early settlers. Wow! This cozy little bookstore is right on E 2nd in The Dalles and is a throwback to the friendly, neighborhood shops of yesteryear. The bookcases date back to when the shop opened, adding to the charm and warmth. Books of all categories (fiction, mystery, cookbooks map, gardening, thrillers, travel, brewing, baking, sci-fi, classics, children's) with new releases and even some out of print items represented. So fun to peruse through the various titles as time disappears and I get lost in the magic of printed words and stories. In addition to the varied book collection, the shop has some beautiful puzzles, gorgeous journals, pens, unique stationary, lovely cards, gifts and some toys for children. The staff is passionate about books and it's evident. The gentleman working there the day that I stopped in was so friendly and helpful, offering suggestions on books after I told him my preferences for a summer read on a lazy day. A must stop for anyone passing through The Dalles. Love supporting local and I will be visiting again and again!

They have used and new books for sale at an exceptional price. They have stationary, puzzles, games, and cute accessories for your bibliophile in your life. We visited to purchase books for my bookshelf, as I am finishing my first book while we are on vacation. I found the second volume of a used edition book for 7 dollars off the full price. I also found a used edition of a book I've been searching for in California! Could I have bought it online? Yes, but I enjoy using my time to support mom and pop book shops instead. Each floor of books is categorized and labeled, so you know where you're headed. For example, one room is called the "gold room" had all the manga and romance books. Dependent on what you're looking for in genre, they've got it! If you are looking for a specific book, they have kiosks on every floor for you to type and look for your book. We used their computer, and our book was labeled by aisle and directed into the blue room. We bought two books, magnets, a patch, and a tote. It is a wonderful store and absolutely matched my expectations. We spent a great time walking through each room and checking out what they had to offer. Truly a magnificent collection of books!

Crowd wise, it seems to be busy all the time but there is plenty of space to maneuver around people if needed. Always a great way place to stop by when traveling to Portland!

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.
