We stopped off in La Grande for gas and ice cream and stumbled upon Looking Glass Books. The people…read moreare friendly and they know what they've got in stock. I wanted to get a used copy of Bossypants and the guy helped me find it for $9.50, a total steal. Ninety percent of their books are used and most all are in great quality. You'll also find a cat chilling in the children's book section, giving a cozy, homey feeling. Looking Glass Books is definitely worth a quick stop when driving on I-84.

Went is with some questions about games like D and D. Guy behind the counter ( wearing a stupid…read morecowboy hat) was not helpful, and made no real attempt to understand what i was asking about, or direct me me in any direction within the store. Rather then browse around to find an answer to my question on my own i just left.

I always seem to walk out with at least a dozen so the savings adds up! The staff is always friendly. Lots of other stuff to check out here like games and music, but I'm usually on a time crunch and the comics collection is mission one.

There are boxes and boxes piled high of unpriced books that create a maze through the store. If you've got patience and like sifting through books, this place is for you!

I love visiting this little bookshop every time in Walla Walla. Honestly, it's more of a gift…read moreshop/book shop/game store mix, and it is always chock-full of fun little trinkets to look at. All of the employees here are super friendly, and the store overall has a great vibe. Fair warning, it is always PACKED around the holidays, but for good reason-- there isn't a better spot to grab a Christmas gift. The prices are very reasonable, and I think the selection is pretty good for the size of the store. During my most recent visit, my MIL purchased me a beautiful edition of Paradise Lost for ~$20, which I thought was a steal. It's well printed and contains a lot of the gorgeous Doré woodblock prints, which I absolutely love. I will definitely be back!

Peruse through the aisles for fandom knickknacks in random spots and find something you think is too cute you just have to buy. The strange staff lady behind the counter, possibly the owner or manager, is very uptight and could use some refreshing on welcoming service.

There are two book sellers I have loved to visit for many years. One is in Portland or used to be…read more It's name is Powell's Books. It's hard to say if it remains intact in the trying times that city condones as of late. This I do not know. I no longer travel to Portland for pleasure. This shoppe is the other. The Archives. It's a place of solitude where you can be inundated with books. You can wander there as long as you like. No one will intrude on you. Help is available for the askance. If books are not your particular cup of tea on any given day many other amusements await. Video this, Audio that and several genres of either. The store is ever changing. Who knows what treasures abound this day or next week? You're looking for what book? Of course you can't find it! How could you? I've been here countless times and I seldom try very hard to find something particular. I query the wizard behind the book sellers desk, (you may have to look hard to see him), he may have what you seek, but not on a shelf. Perhaps tucked away for one reason or another. It may here but not for sale per se. Maybe it is on a shelf and still seems to be invisible. If it's here, he will know that and where. If it isn't, it's likely he can obtain a copy. Book sellers have stores that are like the multitudes you see, you know, in strip malls, in boutiques, and so on. It seems someone has a stamp and just stamps one in this city, then the next city and so on. Boxes, little boxes and they all look just the same. You get my drift. That, thank the Gods is NOT THE CASE here. The owner is a purveyor of books. He eats, breathes, buys, sells and covets books. Yes, he is a wizard. Pooh, pooh you say, I can't blame you. I may have just happened upon a review like this one thought pooh pooh it as well. If you disagree with me friend, you haven't been in his shoppe that's all. There isn't another place like The Archives. There isn't another wizard like the one operating this shoppe. If books pique your interest with the tiniest twinge remember, the magic in the world is fleeting and fading. "Seize the day."
