Books Read & Books New

A great new and used book shop kind of tucked away in Salem! The owner was super nice and knowledgeable. It was also cool that there are books by local authors at the front? I actually bought one. I’ll be back!

Truly the best selection and best service in the Mid-Willamette Valley. The owner is a true bibliophile, and has a knack for sourcing rare and lesser-known works. Prices are reasonable too!

This place is wonderful! The owner and the woman that helps him (his significant other?) are so sweet! They have great specials and very affordable prices for an avid reader such as me. Totally reccomend!

Absolutely wonderful owners/staff. Store full of magnificent books of ALL types. I hope this business survives, we need books!

Great selection of used books!! Great Owners, friendly and great humor. Check this store out!!!!

Awesome bookstore. Huge selection and the owner is an expert in hard to find and rare books.

This is a nice place to explore. I enjoyed it and found an old book that looked practically new for just $3.

Very nice bookstore. Large selection, knowledgeable staff and family friendly.

Big selection of mystery/thrillers

If ur looking for an older book or a book that might not be in print currently they probably have it. I am not a fan of the lay out and I feel it could use a little coffee shop or decor.

I usually like to give people (and places) a few tries before I form an opinion. I get it we all have bad days… however the two times that I went in were not pleasant experiences at all. The first time we went in I tried helping my little brother find a book. We walked in and weren’t even acknowledged (that’s fine). However when we asked for assistance the owner (I assume) wasn’t very friendly or helpful and we eventually ended up looking for the manga section of books ourselves. The second time I went in still no “hello” or recognition. I KID YOU NOT… TEN SECONDS AFTER I WALKED IN A WHITE WOMEN COMES IN AND BOTH THE OWNER AND HIS DAUGHTER SAY HI TO THE LADY AND START CHATTING IT UP ASKING IF THEY CAN HELP WITH ANYTHING. AS A P.O.C I WAS APPALLED. I LEFT IMMEDIATELY AND WILL NEVER WALK INTO THIS STORE AGAIN. Please treat all your guests the same whether they are young, old, white, or of color. WE ALL DESERVE RESPECT.
