Five stars! I looove this bookstore! I was there last week with my nephew. It has a really nice, relaxing vibe. John was working and he was an absolute delight to talk to. I’d never been to Poulsbo and he was so knowledgeable about the area. I live in Seattle but would go back to Poulsbo just to go to this bookstore again!
