You can tell they put their hearts into literature and make sure you know what you're looking at and where to find it. They also allowed our dogs in so it's always nice when we can have that and wonder a book store. The price and value would depend one what ya got. Some of the older books I believe retained more value so it really depends on. They also buy , sell and trade books here so instead of getting rid of anything bring em here. It's a great stop and one of many bookstores in the area that is worth the stop.

Bloomsbury Books is a wonder shop that has a library books for every reader. It's an amazing spot…read morewith an upstairs cafe with beer and wine and tasty treats. The amazing librarians or book hosts were amazing and sweet. They answered any questions we had and it was very much appreciated. Also they allow dogs inside so if your dog is well mannered then bring them along and see if they want to get a book too. Their books are amazingly organized and you can find what you're looking for from kids, educative, cooking , horror, fantasy allAt wonderful pricing. They have places for you to sit and read and the cafe is amazing. Overall you can't go wrong.

Finishing up my Xmas shopping popped in for the last bits…read more Santa books. When our kids were little Santa left books at the foot of the bed so they could unwrap and stay in bed and read until it was at least 7am. Well, 20 and 22 and we're still doing it. I needed a couple of recommendations and could not have been happier to have help from the staff. Kind, knowledgeable and chock full of fantastic ideas. What I thought would be me meandering the aisles for hours (not that I don't love to do that, I just couldn't today) turned into a quick amazing process. If I could give 10 I would. The hardest part now will be waiting for them to get up before noon Xmas morning. Thank you Bloomsbury-

Treehouse books is a wonderful little spot especially if you have little ones…read more I've noticed the differences in the books shops around the area. One is more of a wide variety but more modern, Tree house focuses more on kids and young adults, the Book Exchange is more like a library with collections, older , modern, categorized etc. this is a wonderful thing because you can't help but go through all of them. Treehouse does have a wide selection but over all vibe is bring your kids in and there is a flavor of literature for everyone. They are price very well and I was even able to get a replica ring of THE ONE RING ... TO RULE THEM ALL lol . Treehouse is a wonderful spot so don't pass it up.

If the owners of Tree House Books were intending to replicate the experience of walking into a…read morebookstore in Diagon Alley, then they have surely succeeded! This charming shop carries a robust selection of books catering mostly to children and the young adult crowd, along with stationery, cards, games, toys, clothing and a lot more surprises, tucked into every nook and cranny! This is the sort of place that is sorely needed in age of instant gratification and digital everything. Tree House Books shows a true appreciation for, and a celebration of, the wonderous analog media that is slowly being replaced by YouTube and emojis. Evocative in its ambiance, spaces like this help revive interest in the stories that are instrumental in producing educated, well-rounded and, most importantly, creative and free-thinking members of society. If you can't tell, Tree House Books really blew me away. There are a lot of bookstores out there, many of them slowly being crushed by the titans of the internet. Fortunately, even the mighty Amazons of the world have no power here. They shall not pass! I observed more than a dozen kids, dragging their parents behind them, fawning over virtually everything in the shop, especially the books. Seeing this filled me with joy, and the hopeful that, because of places like this, that magic still exists. Vivid are the imaginations that pass through these doors, becoming ever richer when they depart once more, hopefully armed with a bookbag full of thrilling tales, legends, and lore, waiting to be devoured by eager eyes and open minds. Five stars is not enough.

On July 3rd of 2026,i was contracted to play 45 minutes of original acoustic guitar pieces as…read moreentertainment for an event being hosted at the Northwest Nature store.Upon my arrival,i set up my folding chair and began my set.Within a minute or two,my employer(not Nature Store employees)materialized out of the rather large crowd,gave me my fee,plus a geneous bonus,and said ,"Do your thing Brother Harry",and disappeared back into the crowd.I began to play again when i noticed a group of several kids(12-13 yrs.old?)setting up musical equipment 30'or so away from my location.All of these kids were openly staring at me with dirty looks on their faces.At a loss,i kept playing acoustic guitar as i was being paid to do.After a minute or so,one of the kids started playing an electric/acoustic guitar and i immediately began playing complimentary,tasteful,leads in an appropriate walking minor scale,rather than continue with my piece,so as not to be dissonant or discordant with a fellow musicians efforts.(even if it was some inexperienced kid,as i am a consumate professional with 40 years experience under my belt).At that point i noticed an adult that seemed to be involved with the kids,also giving me extremely dirty looks as i continued to do my job.As this man approached me staring sourly,i addressed him in a friendly and professional manor,informing him i would be happy to just play accompanying acoustic guitar to whatever the kids were going to play so as not to be a distraction or source of disonance.This male adult cut me off mid sentance by informing me in a menacing bullying manor that ,"UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO PLAY ANYTHING WHEN THE KIDS ARE PLAYING".Shocked at his rude aggressive and Highly unprofessional attitude,i calmly began to inform him i was not some random busker,but instead was a paid professional there to do a job.Mr.Luz(i found out his name later),cut me off again with the same statement regarding my purpose at the event.Luz walked off to his car,and within a minute was back,standing over me,telling me again not to play while this kid was playing,to which i responded,"What are you going to do dude,beat me up?!"Luz smirked and replied,"No ,but you are not going to play".Throughout this entire interaction,all 3 or 4 of these kids are watching this,still with looks of disdain and hostility on their faces.o told him again i had been paid to be there,tried to ask him if he knew my employers for the event,all to no avail.He said "I dont care",and walked back to where the kids were at.Instead of causing a scene and potentially embarrassing both myself,and my employers,i packed up my guitar and went home.I informed my employer via text what had happened and they assured me Mr.Luz would be addressed.Well,i come to find out this fellow Felipe Luz runs an organization called Gateway Music Collective in which he is supposedly teaching these children how to become professional musicians!?If you are a parent of any of these kids he is "mentoring"you should know that this person is a complete and total bigot,not to mention a garbage teacher of musicians etticate,whom is poisoning young minds with misdirected unprofessional behaviour! I myself,am a veteran pro musician with credentials that include writing music sound tracks for Sony Music Corp. Playstation video games,National touring credits,and Internationally released album music writers credits for a world famous punk rock band from L.A. as well as an ASCAP'd published songwriter.But because i am 55 yrs. old,with a bleached 10" tall spiked mohawk,am covered from neck to fingernails in 30 yr. old lousy tattoo work,and have teeth that look like a beat up picket fence with boards missing,this "teacher"of other peoples children felt it was ok to bully,menace,embarrass,and humiliate a fellow musician IN FRONT OF SAID CHILDREN,because he was too ignorant to even ask or listen to anything i said.Instead he set an example for these kids,that judging a person by their physical appearance is perfectly ok,and furthermore,looking different equals a lesser person whether they are a fellow musician or not.MR. LUZ YOU ARE TEACHING OTHER PEOPLES KIDS TO BE BIGOTED,HATEFUL,AND IGNORANT,AND I FULLY EXPECT A PUBLIC APOLOGY FROM YOU BEFORE I CAN BE FREE OF THE HUMILIATION YOU CAUSED ME WHILE I WAS TRYING TO DO MY JOB.To do anything less only furthers your lack of professionalism.

We will be back later in the week to buy gifts for friends and family.

Blackstone Audio is located at the southern end of Ashland on old Hwy. 99. What most people don't…read moreknow is that you can buy audio books there and if you are a local resident you might even get a discount. The staff are really nice. One time I wanted an audio book in MP3 format that was available only on CDs. The receptionist said, "Let me see if we can make a MP3 disc for you; wait here. In a few minutes she returned with the MP3 version, hot off the disc burner. Another time I bought a book just issued and found major defects in the recording. I took it back and was warmly thanked for discovering the defect that was in all the current run. The problem was fixed and I received a corrected copy in the mail. There are always books on sale or clearance. Blackstone employs actors from all over to read the books, including some of the local Shakespeare actors.

I contacted Blackstone and they sent me a new copy, but the discs still skip. I don't know how to solve this problem. I don't know if its because the discs are released on a CD format that's inferior to regular CDs or if having twenty-nine tracks somehow causes it. I guess maybe I'll never know, but they need to produce better-quality CDs.
