“Great little book store. Solid selection even though it is a smaller store. Staff is always very friendly and helpful. Our kids love the kids loft area and they have a great used book program (both trading and selling).”
“My name is Don Lim and I purchased two small crosses from here about two weeks ago..However, the elderly woman cashier was so kind and comfortable that she was like an angel. Because of that woman,I want to call this store angel's house ...”
“I love going into this Barnes and Nobles! The staff is so nice, they KNOW their books and give great recommendations that you wouldn't think of, AND they are so clean and organized. This is my regular hideaway. ❤️”
“King’s books is and will always be my favorite Tacoma bookstore. The owner is so nice, I miss seeing them and getting a friendly greeting every time I walked into the store. I love the community building that Kings books does, with readings, and book groups. I have always loved getting recommendations from the staff.The last few times I have been in the store, I haven’t received the same warm Tacoma welcome I have received since childhood. I miss the feeling of walking in and feeling instantly welcome. I miss the genuine Tacoma friendly-ness I used to receive here. I know Tacoma has changed, but I miss my friendly bookstore staff who said hello, left me alone to browse, but were always ready with recommendations if I needed any.”
“The store was well-organized and clean, the staff was friendly, and there were so many interesting books (and other items like bookmarks) to look at! I went with a group, and we all ended up leaving with at least one thing. I found books in great condition for good prices. I also ended up with a little journal and a gift for a friend. I would highly recommend this bookstore to anyone and I feel like it has something for everyone”
“Absolutely gem of a book store! The atmosphere is amazing, the book selection is great & the staff is wonderful. I love stopping by here after the farmers market and picking up some books and some of their super cute cards. Such a great addition to downtown Puyallup.”
“I found it to be clean and and easy to navigate. Bathrooms were clean and plentiful. Parking was not difficult. Decent views of downtown and the surrounding area.”
“Pros: So many books!Cons: Too many books.They need a bigger space. Piles of books were all over the floor, and it was stressful to try to look through and navigate around.Absolutely not accessible for wheelchairs/walkers.They don't have a way to check inventory, but they did have a helpful and straightforward staff member who was knowledgeable about how their stock changes.”

“(Translated by Google) It is the best place. The presence of God is felt on those who Ahnelan, decean and seek. Every soul thirsty and in need of a word and a change of life. This is the best place to visit. GOD BLESS YOU.”
“Very convenient in the airport!! of course that's what Hudson meant to be. Some of you all may see they're pricey, but if you forgot something it's here. If you lost something get another one here. If you need something to drink a snack or something to read, it's here. Stop crumbling they have some pretty good items. My neck rest and got this one very comfortable and the best one I've ever had. sure you could get it elsewhere $10 less. I lost mine and did not want to fly without one. so I think it's a great deal and convenient”
“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!”
“I went looking for a book for a neighbor's kid. I had a vague idea of what to get, but after looking around, I felt a little overwhelmed. After finding a similar book that looked too young, I approached one of the employees for help. They were friendly, knowledgeable and flexible around both what I knew about the kid I was shopping for and also the gaps in my knowledge. We were able to find a great option that I hadn't considered. Kudos to that person - they were great!”
