The coolest bookstore I've been to. Many books. The vibe is great. I suggest coming with enough time to look through all the aisles. Workers were helpful and kind. Loved it.

This place is fantastic. It's easy to get lost in the stacks and lose track of time. I was able to find some great older books I haven't seen anywhere else.

Wall-to-wall books, that sweet old book smell, hard covers worth buying, a sci-fi / fantasy section so well fleshed out I literally come here before going anywhere else if there's a book I'm looking for. 10/10

Masks are required to be worn in the book store. Drove 20 minutes here with the 5 of us. Didn't have masks with us. I wish it was somewhere online so people wouldn't waste thier time. And yes I actually called about something else prior to coming and didn't even think to ask because masks aren't required anywhere anymore that I've visited.

Are there old hardcover books here by any chance? Or do you know of a bookstore or antique store that sells old books near Puyallup?

There are definitely old hardcovers. A lot depends on how old you're looking for. They keep their more valuable ones in a case at the cashier, but you never know what you could find in there. My first time in there I was amazed at the amount of books they had and I wasn't sure where to stop.

Give them a call during their hours. They're not receiving your message directly from this forum of reviewers and guides who are customers, peers, who have been there.

Try calling the store.

I'm curious about the pricing. I live about an hour away but want to make the trip if it'll save me money. I'd mostly be buying kids chapter books. I can get them online for less than $5 each, would the store be cheaper?

I felt the store was more about great selection as opposed to great prices.
