The visitor center at the Manhattan Project National Historical Park a few blocks away doesn't have…read morea gift shop, but this bookshop seems be the place to get your Manhattan Project souvenirs. I bought a clock made from excess graphite and process tubes from the Hanford reactors (so it was never used in the actual reactor, with no chance of radioactivity), supplied by the B Reactor Museum Association. The gift shop proceeds are used to fund interpretative projects at the reactor, make displays, and support many other reactor related projects. The owner is also a former Health Physicist at the Hanford Vitrification Project. The rest of the shop has a dizzying array of books, scifi toys, memorabilia, and posters. There's even a cordoned off rare book room which contains books from the 1600's and first editions of books. This shop is a labor of love and much appreciated. They can be open even beyond their posted hours, so if you're in the area, it's worth stopping by to check it out!

This is my second trip here. I'm going to make it a priority that whenever I'm in Richland that I'm…read moregoing to stop here every single time. This place is amazing! He has all kinds of collectibles here. Rows and rows of books, old out of print books , expensive rare 1st edition books, movie props and memorabilia, movie posters, pop-culture collectibles, collectible sci-fi toys, tons of Hanford Nuclear collectibles and souvenirs. And his personal service to you is great too. I asked about a particular topic in sci-fi that I was trying to find a book on, but I couldn't remember the author and he knew exactly which authors to look for in that genre right off the top of his head! The man is a wealth of knowledge. You could easily spend a couple of hours in here just looking at everything he has to offer. Although I wanted to buy more, I did end up purchasing an old hardback book of Treasure Island from 1924 that I've always fancied. One of my favorites from my childhood. Not a big purchase, but it was one that I had wanted. More people need to know about this place.
