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.

This bookstore has really nice selection, good prices and friendly staff. The only downside is that…read morethe store itself doesn't have much personality. I really like that Robert's has this great personality, however, the people who work at this store are actually friendlier than the ones at Robert's. In fact, the guy who was helping us had this really great conversation with my wife about all the Stephen King novels. She really enjoys his writings and I never quite got into a lot of his works so I'm sure she enjoyed that conversation, and I enjoyed it so much that I think I might start reading some of his novels. I just thoroughly enjoyed talking to that guy, and got some great books in the process. I would say that if you like history or fiction, this is definitely the store for you. I encourage everyone to try this place out

This is a great bookstore. I was surprised by how many new releases and books they had despite how…read moresmall it was. I can tell they curate the store very well. They had a lot of nice touches like a blind date with a bookshelf, color coded tape in the romance section that indicated how "spicy" a book was, and cute stationary and cards. The blind date with the books were so cute, 25$ each but they come with stickers and would be such a good gift for someone. The books were also reasonably priced and they had some discount shelves. I will definitely be coming back here.

I had originally planned to check out two cafes by Nye Beach with a return visit to Newport…read more(8/31/24). I made a right turn and found a parking spot right in front of Nye Beach Book House. Never been, I decided to check it out, especially as supporter of indie bookstores. The past four days I've stopped by bookstores in Bandon, Waldsport, Manzanita, and Lincoln City. It's always feels like a combo of adventure, treasure hunt, and spontaneity checking out the shelves. Made it up the stairs, opened the door gate, and greeted the presumed owner. She was very welcoming and offered assistance to any genre of interest in the bookstore. Always a good sign when others were also actively browsing. I always make a beeline to cookbooks. I found a particular title of interest, became giddy, and definitely will make the sale. To be fair, I did wander other sections too. Well arranged, well curated, and that bookstore scent. Looks like cash transactions are preferred over cards, just an fyi. Thankfully, my purchase was an even twenty bucks. Completed my purchase and wished the owner a good day. I wish I knew the journey of how this title and particular find found its way to Nye Beach Book House. I also wonder how folks with mobility limitations can visit this book store with stairs and its tight spots for maneuverbility. Me being a notorious klutz, I made sure to take care going up and down the stairs. A spontaneous visit and finding this title, I later discover it's worth over five to nearly seven times what was paid. This bookstore is quirky, unique, and definitely worth a visit for any bibliophile!
