Strong recommended reading tables, good selection of both new and pre-owned books, wonderfully welcoming staff. And as a unexpectedly delightful bonus, a lovely, chill, shaggy dog who didn't mind pets from this slightly homesick guy 4 timezones away from his own dog

Nice book store with used and new books
Oct 18th, 2023

We stopped into this little bookstore during a cruise stop in Juneau. The store, with its adorably creaky wood floors and aesthetically arranged books, has a wide variety of used books, many focused on Alaska. The bookstore clerk engaged in friendly conversation and explained they were all out of *Into the Wild* due to a shipment that was still due or something. We found some great children's books for our nieces and nephews. I appreciated the bookstore clerk's authentic personality and honest responses to my questions about the town and how it must fluctuate radically between cruise arrivals and departures. She said there's a lively arts scene in Juneau that comes alive, and that there's so many events (from music to theater to book readings, etc.) that one can't attend them all. I wish I could get to know that Juneau! Definitely stop into this bookstore. It's a place where things feel real.
