“The greatest bookstore I’ve ever been to.
Events, book clubs, and more every week. Seriously! 6 adult book clubs/month right now!
Amazing welcoming community.
Allies. Friendly. Helpful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Wonderful bookstore!! Have found several new favorite books here including Dara Baldwin’s, “To Be A Problem A Black Woman's Survival in the Racist Disability Rights Movement.” Just attended an awesome author talk with Dara Baldwin. An important conversation with insight, wit, and truth-I only wish more of the disability rights community was there!”
“This cozy bookstore is bursting at the seams with charm and warm energy! From the book selection to the owner, it's a wonderful place to spend time perusing and supporting!”
“I appreciate the low pressure staff, you can go in and not talk to anyone if that's your wish. I love that they have places to sit and read, and there's a very decent selection of books for a small store!!”
“Great independent bookstore in a convenient, walkable location. The staff specializes in curating a unique collection of used books and can special order anything not in stock, new or used. This is a relaxing analog antidote to modern retail, with great prices!”
“Neat little independent book store. We were there for an event with Rowan Kingsbury on their back patio. It's very kid oriented and I appreciated that the staff struck up conversations with our kids about books.”
“What a super cute store! I found some wild old pulp novels here, and the store just keeps going and going to get to the back rooms. Tons of children's books back there, manga, nonfiction, great stuff”
“Such a lovely bookstore, I've found so many treasures in the random stacks on the floor! The staff is very knowledgeable and will go out of their way to track down anything you're looking for. If you need a book, and/or yarn, support a local business!”
“Favorite bookstore in Portland! They have a huge selection of both used and new sci-fi and fantasy books. Everyone who works there is super friendly and creates a cool vibe. They also have several rare editions, including some signed copies. Love this place!”
“Always a wonderful place to visit. I was disappointed to see they no longer had the Home/Garden store next door.
Selection was great.
Staff helped us out several times.”
“Such a cute store! I was surprised at how much versatile inventory they had. I ended up buying a body oil and candle for my partner. The associate was very helpful too!”
“There’s a wide range of art an architecture and design books available, as well as ephemera of all sorts. Small, but if you’re seeking something artistic, they’ve likely got it.”
“This is a great place if you are into anything occult, witchcraft, or esoteric related. The owner specializes in rare books but sells a wide variety of books still in print. Dark Star Magick also has classes on a variety of subjects in the field. It is worth an in person if you are in surroundings cities and of course you can order from the store online.”
“Could a bookstore be any more like a bookstore?! This shelvy joint is charming and humble. Enjoying a latte while reading a new book is an enhanced experience in this bookstore. There’s a little stage for performances and an outdoor area that’s simple and cute. Thank you for existing.”
“Portland has fantastic kid‘s bookstores, so it’s extremely hard to make a choice (why am I doing this anyway?) Hands down, this one is my favorite. Brilliantly curated and super knowledgeable staff.”
“Very happy customer! I enjoy stopping in when I’m in downtown Camas and always find a new book I can’t wait to get home to read. Wonderful and friendly customer service.”
“Very nice place set back cozy it's like a house but with a lot of books and they have a whole lot of books everything from probably 18th century up The gentleman that runs the place or owns it I should say it is very nice very pleasant very thorough and I enjoyed a little bit of time I spent there you all should check it out”
“I cannot say enough good things about this store. The clerks are helpful, knowledgeable and make you feel like you belong. I also love the events they do, it feels so cozy. The merch is also tops.”
“Loved the decor, selection, and person behind the counter was very friendly. Their prices are full price- so you most likely will pay a little more than somewhere like Amazon- but support your local business & I consider it like a finders fee, they have such a curated collection that the books I buy I wouldn’t have known of otherwise. :)”
“Very friendly staff. The store has a great collection of classics, science fiction, cookbooks, non-fiction, and more! 😍 I found it really cute that they bundle books and movies with candy and/or popcorn for movie nights. Highly recommend for book lovers to stop by; my husband and I look forward to visiting again.”
“I've been a sub-contractor through Lile moving and storage for about 3 months. As a delivery driver I've seen some amazing places, schools, and people. Scholastic has an amazing warehouse with dedicated employees. It's all for the kids and their enjoyment for books.”

“Others have spoken about the selection of products and the customer service; I'll speak about the preview booths. For starters, as an FYI, paper towels for cleaning up are located at the back of the arcade to the right of the entrance, if you're feeling like you're going to need them, grab what you need before going in to a booth because there aren't any in the booths themselves- not a problem just know that. Yeah, there CAN be creepers who loiter and try to open doors even though the store has plenty of signage- pretty typical of adult arcades honestly. That being said, it seems as though some of the creeps periodically mess with the locks so they won't work - make sure yours works. The booths are big and relatively clean. The booths are equipped with upholstered bench seats (like a car or restaurant booth seats); though large the vinyl upholstery is old and cracking - could certainly use an upgrade. The video players could use an upgrade as well, the brightness on the screen is pretty high and washes out a lot of the color in the videos. Comparatively small, but diverse selection of videos.”
“Future Dreams is an excellent place to talk about the comic industry, because the owner has extensive knowledge about the history of the business and it's medium of characters.”
“I first shopped at this store in 2008 and have continued to buy books here periodically ever since. I order online and receive books by mail. Very excellent customer service, good and large selection of literature in Russian. Good prices. I recommend this bookstore.I first shopped at this store in 2008 and have continued to buy books here periodically ever since. I order online and receive books by mail.

“This place is a hidden gem! I thought it was going to be small but they have multiple rooms. Lots of children's books, classics, educational materials, beautiful vintage books, history, and some Christian as well. The owner Eli is very nice and really knows his stuff! He was telling me about all sorts of vintage children's authors. Overall this is a great place to spend bookish time and keep your money local. Happy reading!”
“Absolutely worth a stop inside. This is a hidden gem of Portland. The book collection, although modest in size, is fantastic and eclectic.
The record collection is outstanding—the kind you won’t find at actual record stores that are constantly picked over.
Scott, the operator of the store, is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the inventory.”
“Anthology Booksellers will be closing soon, so everything is 50% off! You don't have much time for all of the books you've been wanting at a special low price!!!”
“Went in looking for recommendations for something lighthearted and queer, and I chose the perfect spot! They were so sweet, and gave a ton of amazing recommendations with just enough to have me intrigued about every books shown. I'll certainly be back for more. It's so clear there is a passion and love for the goods being sold here, it has a bit of everything but that curated human touch sets it above and beyond. Love this place!”
