    This has to be among my top 3 bookstores ever. The selection is huge, especially in the fiction…read moresection. I also adore how they have little tags for books written by local authors. There's also a counter where you can sell your used books. There's plenty of seating throughout the entire store and there's also a very big food court/cafe situation with multiple different businesses. Imagine reading with a side of Mediterranean food- such a dream come true! If Third Place Books was any closer to where I live I fear I would spend all my money here.

    If there's one thing Washington does well, it's moody bookstores…read more Third Place Books is my new obsession. This bookstore takes up the majority of the second floor of the third place mall. They offer a variety of books (both new and used), stationary, witty birthday cards, merch, and more. I was particularly wow'd by their selection of author signed books. If my suitcase were bigger, I would have been in major trouble. I also love that they have a nearby food court, featuring the most tasty dumplings and a coffee shop serving delicious baked goods. Literally, my fantasies brought to life. This biz screams community, and I'm about ready to pack my bags to join it.

I arrived just before 5:00 PM on a Thursday. An older man with purple hair was leaving as I arrived. I was the only customer in the store for the hour or so I was there. The owner was behind the counter and we chatted for most that time. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. if it were close to where I live, I'd make it my hangout. Named after an album by The Fall, it's maybe 20x35 ft, with racks lining three walls and another rack in the middle. I shop for vinyl but I saw some CDs and cassettes. Hex Enduction has the best-curated selection of new records I've encountered, and by "new" I mean not new releases but records that are not previously owned. (There are also some new releases.) It has a big selection of used records, too. I ended up with new copies of the Buzzcocks' Singles Going Steady, Radiohead's OK Computer OKNOTOK, and Nirvana's In Utero, plus a clean-looking used copy of CCR's Cosmo's Factory, all from my running list of must-haves. Impulse buys included Brian Eno's Discreet Music, which I'd had on cassette in the early 80s but had never encountered on vinyl; Out in the Storm, by Waxahatchee; and Moon Beams by the Bill Evans Trio. I added a used copy of Hackney Diamonds, by the Stones, because I remembered enjoying it when it came out, and the price was good. There were many more options for future trips. I'm not a punk/hardcore/metal guy, so I didn't spend time with that part of the inventory, but based on my conversation with the owner, I'd expect that section to be very well-selected. I also didn't spend much time with the books, because that wasn't my focus, but they, like the records, appeared well-curated. I will definitely go back!

    I love this spot! I especially love the people that run this record store! Record stores are local…read moreand special, it makes a difference when the owners know music! All music! Top rating on boutique record stores!
