I love to browse when I can, or order ahead if I have specific books in mind. Great, helpful staff. And I enjoy the other things I find every time I come in, from fun stickers to cool puzzles.

King's Books is an oasis of literary life in Tacoma. Easily my most favorite indoor place to go in the city.

A "real" book store with endless aisles, niche genres, and just books. A lot of bookstores focus too much on merchandise like clothes, coffee, plants, etcetera. They also host several different book clubs!

Visiting downtown for the afternoon. First time in; my girlfriend and I were on a mission for a book so didn’t really browse the art, classics or Philosophy sections but they looked lush and sadly didn’t find the book we were looking for but we’ll Definitely be coming back!

No. We have not seen anything come through about enameled cast iron. We could see what's out there, to order. But we don't have anything in sure.

Looking for books on Orca's and Puget Sound?

They more than likely have them from my past experience with the shop. If you call in, especially if there's a specific title you're looking for, they can assist you in checking their catalogue for it or ordering in a copy of whatever it is for you.
