If you're a vintage/90s horror fan this is the place for you. They have point horror and vintage paperbacks. I liked the little personal notes about the book written under the prices. This shop is great

An incredibly rad and well curated bookstore, The Green Hand Bookshop provides Portland with an incredible array of horror, science fiction, mystery, and new age books. This shop had so many old books that I didn't even know existed, along with rare books that I've been looking for for years! Definitely worth a look for locals and tourists that appreciate those genres, and the shop also has a selection of other subject matter as well! Covid update: Safe total mask policy and still an incredible selection!

This shop is my go-to for off-beat or harder to find books. I'm a folklorist, so I really appreciate the wide selection of texts about local ghosts and legends. Just a thoughtful and chaotic plethora of wildly intriguing books, stationary, tarot cards, and oddments.

Yes, we do have children's books in a wide range: from picture books and board books, to early readers and chapter books, to young adult books. :)

Do they have university textbooks?

We do not carry a large stock of university textbooks, but often have a smattering of academic texts in a variety of subjects, and a small selection of textbooks depending on current stock being taken into the store. Usually these are textbooks that have been around for a few years. Please feel free to email with any class book lists, and we will be happy to tell you whether we have particular books in stock.
