They also have some older neat books that would be great to round out a collection or decorate a moody study. The owner was super nice and provided great service.

When I…read morewalked in I was immediately in awe with how many books there were and how the sections were neatly labelled. The owner was so kind and I felt so welcomed when I walked in. The pricing is pretty reasonable, not as great as some used book stores I've been to, but I understand you gotta pay that overhead! Overall this place was great and I'm already planning my next trip :)

Heather has been the owner of Literary Leftovers for three years now....and her store looks awesome!!!

Lastly, if you bring in books to donate the store, she offers a discount on whatever you purchase that day! A nice win-win!

I recently visited Portland with some friends. I spent the requisite half-a-day in Powell's my…read morefirst full day in the city but I was a bit disappointed in their theology section. As I planned out my Portland trip I had determined to go to Windows Bookseller and my visit to this bookstore exceeded my expectations. As I understand it, this cozy location is smaller than the Eugene location, but it still has an amazing array of books available, prompting many Solomonic decisions about which books to buy and which ones to leave behind. A few minutes after I arrived and started browsing, I heard Adam recommending Walker Percy to another customer. I knew then that this was a place with good taste in theology books (browsing the literature shelf I noticed a lot of the usual suspects among the "Books & Culture" crowd, including Wendell Berry, Marilynne Robinson, and my favourite, Alice McDermott). There are a lot of theology, biblical studies, philosophy, and history books available at very good prices. Names that leapt out from the shelves included Marva Dawn, Stanley Hauerwas, and Walter Brueggemann. Many of the hardcovers I purchased had laminated covers which I always appreciate. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I left with a box full of books. The next time I visit Portland I am definitely going to prioritize visiting Windows Booksellers again.
