Book Stores
“Whenever I visit Kent I always make sure to stop by and support this shop. The selection is massive!! It has many of the new titles everyone wants and countless older books that will make you fall in love with reading all over again. I especially love that the Sociology section is always stocked with great vintage pocket books and that the manga selection takes up almost an entire wall and additional shelving around the store!! The owner is also so knowledgeable about what he has in stock, he didn't even need to look up the authors I asked for; he knew exactly what I was looking for and where to find it!! He rocks!! Go support this incredible independent bookstore!!”
“The wife and I purchase often every year buy2 cases get a hefty discount on a third. Frichik , Veja link and Swiss steak! Last all year , feed to friends and family.”
“Helping others to see they have a purpose in life an not to give up. I have worked here / volunteer here since 2011. There's is nothing like the feeling you get when you step out side your self your world an help someone else”
“Love going here and checking out books for my students. They always seem to have special deals going on with their coupons that you have to sign up for in advance. They also usually always have a spot where you can fill up a box for $25. I think due to Covid, the Warehouse is closed to the public, but you can order online. I have not done this option yet.”
“Barnes and noble is my go to.
Been going since I was a teenager.
Love the new revival with each store operating like mini independent book stores.”
“Everything here is overpriced, especially since they get most of their books through donations.
I have been using these guys to get rid of my old books and get some honeymoon cash. Sure it'll only get me a few cheeseburgers, but that's more cheeseburgers than what I came in with, and I just think that's neat.”
“This time of year is always exciting with graduation coming up. Yhe store is full of GRC swag. The staff are super friendly, and the online order/pick up is very handy.”
“One stop shop for all age games and activities. What especially impressed me was the cashier asked to see my I.D. when I used my credit card! I can't tell how happy that made me. Thank you!”
“Wonderful place, and thank you so much to the employee who assisted me! Very charming and kind, she initiated a store transfer for me for a book they only had at their Issaquah location. It arrived quickly! For me, it's closer than Tukwila (Half Price Books), and I love that I usually have the store to myself, but let's change that!
Even if you're not looking for something, swing by and take a gander. A house of books is a place of limitless opportunities--explore them!”
