Stopped in while visiting from Delaware and was highly impressed! Village Book store is an amazing place. Located right off of a village green area which contains an outdoor movie theater, the bookstore runs several floors. It has a wide variety of new and used books, a cafe, and an area for kids literacy camp. We spent over an hour just wandering through. You should definitely check it out if you are in the area.

Can this place BE any bigger!? Seriously, we came in through the oil and vinegar shop, descended into the coffee shop, then spent two hours looking at books, gifts, etc. We had no time left to explore Fairhaven! In the words of Admiral Akbar, "It's a trap!" (The good kind)

My 12 yr old grandson and I had a great time. We found the books we were looking for and would have looked for more, but we were there to watch the movie on the green too. 🙂 We have been visiting Village books since our own children were very young. Love this place!!!

Happy to see village books open today on Sunday after New Year's Day. Sales staff were nice and the store is a fun place to go for a little quirky items as well as I met a cardboard man. Beats a heck out of dating sites LOL.

Just a quick note to say "Thank You!" to Mark Swenson and his Pt. Roberts Backstory, Tale, Trails and Trivia from an American Enclave. Excellent, in-depth research, well written and an enlightening read about a very unique corner of the Pacific NW.

Hi Barbara, Sadly that book is out of print. We may be able to find a used copy for you or recommend an alternative like Northwest Weeds. Thanks for checking!

My step daughter and husband had planned to move from Texas to Bellingham before the pandemic. I'm searching for an adult jigsaw puzzle that has a Bellingham/Northwest picture. Any chance I would find it in your store?
