Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. Quick to help locate or order items they may not have. Location is great downtown. Walking distance to some great food, cafes, and Riverfront Park. Next to parking lots for easy access and plenty roadside parking spots. Love supporting a local business.
This is a wonderful bookstore! Connected inside is Uncle's Games shop and a Made in... Spokane(?) shop, full of wondrous works from local artists. The bookstore has wood floors, and such an easygoing, comfortable atmosphere with good windows light. Lots of things to peruse, books included! Something for everyone here. Drop by sometime, it's cool.
We have used Amazon for convenience. Nothing like taking my elementary aged child to a local bookstore for the first time. She asked the staff about the book and they told her the section and we went and looked by author's last name. She was so happy when she found it. Plus they are local. It is always nice to pay just a little more to keep local folks employed and local businesses afloat. I think I paid $19 for the book and on amazon it was $16, but the experience and helping local I think we're worth it. Great place. Will go again.
So many great books and novelty items to browse through. I love that its open late so you can enjoy after a shopping day downtown. There is no pressure to buy, but do look through staff recommendations 😉! Found some gems. I even founds some great art in the local artisans shop connected This was my nights haul! I live on a remote area and appreciate the animals, especially the birds. I also picked up Sandwich by Catherine Newman.
Love, love, love this bookstore. Quirky, fun and local. Also beautiful coop art store on back of bookstore. A must visit when in Spokane
