I adore this bookstore! It?s cozy, friendly, and has a great selection. My kids absolutely love the children?s section, which is housed in a red caboose! I especially like their literature section, which features authors from all over the world. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable, especially the owner. Whenever I ask for a recommendation, she finds something perfect. Their new space in Sellwood is a bit smaller than their old downtown store, but the selection is still wonderful. It seems like every book in there is hand-picked! They also have great sections in Poetry, Sustainability, History, Politics (pretty left-of-center), Northwest, Cooking, and more. There are nice spots to sit and read, including a sweet little outdoor garden. Plus, they do free gift-wrapping during the holidays, and have occasional author events. Highly recommended.
