He had cookbooks going back to the late 18th century. We found a fascinating copy of a 19th century guide to housekeeping that ranged from cooking and cleaning to tonic and tincture making and advise... which... shockingly given its age... proclaimed the health risks of smoking and included a picture of blackened lungs of a smoker after autopsy for effect! 150 years ago and people knew this? I guess it will take us another 100 years then to finally accept that climate change is real ...

Take note of the store's collection of whimsical miniature books, as well as a wonderful selection of publisher bindings. Please visit this charming bookstore!

Looked up and was surprised to see a Barnes & Noble next to Bath & Body Works. I don't even…read moreremember what used to occupy this space, but I'm happy it's now this bookstore. This Barnes & Noble has the typical layout, although a bit smaller, which makes it easier for loyal customers to find their way around. Wide aisles, well stocked best sellers, summer reading, classics, puzzles - all the norms. There are no public restrooms. There is no Starbucks or Cafe. I'm fine with that since they are part of a large outside mall and there are plenty of food options all around. Needed assistance finding a few books and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very convenient to have this new addition at Cascade Stations, another store to stop in while I'm running errands.

​I love library bookstores and sales. ​While some libraries have little stores inside their…read morebranches, some of the larger "Friends" groups operate separate retail outlets for their discarded and donated books. Luckily, Portland has a wonderful reading community that operates Rose City Reads. I actually found out about this location from a volunteer at the store in the Main library. Located in a strip mall, this location is out in the northeast, an area with few bookstores. Each time I've ventured in, there are plenty of other patrons roaming the stacks. And because this location is run by caring volunteers, it's always well organized with clearly labeled shelves. About half of the books are library discards, while the rest are community donations. And most everything is less than $5, so there are plenty of deals to be had.

Oh, and they have a large selection of books with sprayed edges. I just picked these beauties up this afternoon. Happy reading!

Me: Is the material here in the store? Paper Moon: Sure. It's in this box. (Reaches out and touches the box.) Me: Could I look through it right here, in front of you? I'll be really careful. Paper Moon: No. Me: Could you look through it, and see if you have any XYZ in it? Paper Moon: No. You'd have to go online. Me: And if I find something online, could I come and pick it up? Paper Moon: No, you'd have to buy it through the mail. Me: But I'm here, with cash. Paper Moon: Shrug. Me: (I went to their website later. There was nothing there. )
