Godfather's Books in the beautiful, historic Downtown Astoria offers an eclectic selection of new and used books, tarot cards, incense, journals, puzzles, gifts, and trinkets. Visitors can enjoy delicious and affordable fresh-brewed house coffee, espresso, tea, or Italian soda while browsing, working (with free Wi-Fi), or engaging in interesting conversations with the friendly staff and local regulars. Though the store lacks a restroom, it is a proper bookshop with a great selection of used books, including subjects spelled out on the venerable shelves in glued-on Scrabble tiles. Customers appreciate the perfect book shop ambiance and the wide variety of offerings, from children's books and magazines to local history and hiking trails. While the fantasy selection may disappoint some, Godfather's Books is a beloved independent bookstore that is well worth a visit to support the local community.
I remember when it had a couple tanning booths in the back rooms I think my baby setter Elanore used to own or rent it back in the 80s or early 90s like 91 or 92 something like that I just remember they had something to do with the building
