They played Christmas Music, predominantly Christian Christmas music...and even my husband was thrilled with the whole ambiance of the store! Don't miss out on this place if you LOVE CHRISTMAS as much as I do...or even if you are a Grinch...you will love it, too! They even ship to the lower 48...so I didn't have to try to carry it back to the boat or argue with TSA about what I can or can't take back with me...and the shipping $ was REASONABLE AND FAIR!

I was so happy to find Parnassus Books in Ketchikan during a recent Alaskan cruise. This was one of our first stops after my wife & I disembarked our ship. It was still early in the day, so there weren't too many patrons in the shop. The store was quite large for a small town, so we spent a good amount of time walking through the place and browsing the shelves. While I read mostly non-fiction, I was pleased to find a section of fiction books written by local authors. I purchased one that was autographed and plan to enjoy it when I get back home. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the store was well organized and clean, with the all the shelves clearly labeled. This was the best bookstore we visited during our Alaskan trip.

Whether you're looking for a light vacation read, gift, or something educational about Alaska and its people, this is worth a stop. We found books to bring home to our kids that we didn't see in any other store and that they'll enjoy longer than a typical souvenir. Friendly staff and easy to navigate layout.

The owner (who told us she has lived in Ketchikan for over 40 years) is super nice and also owns the restaurant next door (Porte O Call). We were able to find all the stuff we wanted here. -----TL;DR----- Pros: convenient location, wide variety of items, super nice staff, and connected to the restaurant next door Cons: a little bit on the pricier side than one might expect, but it is imported to a small town and the main clientele is tourists, so it makes sense Bottom line: a great place to get your Asian groceries if you're visiting Ketchikan!

I got a hoodie here for a very good price. Their souvenir items are made out of good quality materials. They have everything out in the store and there are nothing in the back. If there is a size that you are looking for that doesn't exist then you are basically out of luck. Service was ok. They don't bother you unless you have a question for them. Yes this store is tailored to tourists. We came here on a cruise ship and they are located about 3 mins walk from the cruise ship or basically on the port.

The woman working was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The shop had a great atmosphere, and we really enjoyed browsing their selection.

The selection was large, and prices were very fair. Probably my only, minor, complaint would be a portion of our service. The girl was great in helping us find what we wanted and ringing us up but when we asked how her day was going she remarked 'Well it's a port day and those generally suck'.
