For me, this place is ideal.

Well-Read books is not a huge bookstore, but still has a nice selection for the space, and everything is really well organized by genre. There's more to look at than you'd think when first entering the store and I always end up taking more time here than I expect. A lot of books are obviously worn, but still readable (I've never seen them selling anything that was too torn up to read), while some appear to be just like new. Because of this, the price does range, but overall it's still going to be cheaper here than somewhere like a Barnes & Noble. On my most recent visit I bought a Nancy Drew book for $5 (I've been wanting to pick one up again to re-read as an adult since I loved the series as a kid, just for some light, nostalgic reading) which I don't consider to be an amazing deal, as I can get them for that price and less from places like Ebay, but I was still really happy to see so many Nancy Drew books there I decided to go for it anyway, and they have so many other interesting books for much less too. If you are a reader, I absolutely recommend this place. Whether you are a local or just passing through, it's worth the stop!

Never been, I decided to check it out, especially as supporter of indie bookstores. The past four days I've stopped by bookstores in Bandon, Waldsport, Manzanita, and Lincoln City. It's always feels like a combo of adventure, treasure hunt, and spontaneity checking out the shelves. Made it up the stairs, opened the door gate, and greeted the presumed owner. She was very welcoming and offered assistance to any genre of interest in the bookstore. Always a good sign when others were also actively browsing. I always make a beeline to cookbooks. I found a particular title of interest, became giddy, and definitely will make the sale. To be fair, I did wander other sections too. Well arranged, well curated, and that bookstore scent. Looks like cash transactions are preferred over cards, just an fyi. Thankfully, my purchase was an even twenty bucks. Completed my purchase and wished the owner a good day. I wish I knew the journey of how this title and particular find found its way to Nye Beach Book House. I also wonder how folks with mobility limitations can visit this book store with stairs and its tight spots for maneuverbility. Me being a notorious klutz, I made sure to take care going up and down the stairs. A spontaneous visit and finding this title, I later discover it's worth over five to nearly seven times what was paid. This bookstore is quirky, unique, and definitely worth a visit for any bibliophile!

The owner is super nice and always greets you and sends you off with a smile. The prices are a little higher than I usually see at used book stores, but it's a small business so I feel good supporting them. It's right on the main strip of downtown Florence but parking is never a problem, even on busy weekends. It's nice to walk the strip and window shop in the cool weather. There are a couple of steps to get into the store so it's not wheelchair accessible, and there is no public bathroom. The closest public bathroom is down the street at Maple and Bay. Overall a nice store, quiet and cozy. Definitely worth a visit.

We stopped because the look of the place from the outside was intriguing -- the house is dolled up and looks like it may have been somebody's beach home at one tie -- and the second story may still be.

I suspect their selection is wider in the summer months when the area is full of visitors and shoppers.

I really like that Robert's has this great personality, however, the people who work at this store are actually friendlier than the ones at Robert's. In fact, the guy who was helping us had this really great conversation with my wife about all the Stephen King novels. She really enjoys his writings and I never quite got into a lot of his works so I'm sure she enjoyed that conversation, and I enjoyed it so much that I think I might start reading some of his novels. I just thoroughly enjoyed talking to that guy, and got some great books in the process. I would say that if you like history or fiction, this is definitely the store for you. I encourage everyone to try this place out

Visiting them on a day they were open was my chance to see what they had. Unfortunately I couldn't check in here on Yelp because the cell service is not all that great down here, but I have pictures to prove that I visited. They have like every book and book accessory available, used and new. They are neatly organized by genre, which I truly appreciated. I picked up a novel by Michael Thomas Ford and a thumb thing for reading if I'm reading with one hand (whoever invented this thing is very smart and deserves a medal). I also got my mom a gardening journal as a possible Christmas present. My mom loves to garden so I think she'll love this. My boyfriend is a huge fan of Batman and One Piece and got himself some Batman comics and some One Piece manga books. The lady working the counter and who checked out books out was very nice and welcoming. She was also helping out a few people that needed assistance. With bookstores starting to become a thing of the past, Bob's is doing a great job staying in business and I hope they stay open for a very long time.
