We got a fascinating nonfiction book on the unseen world of plant intelligence for our botany fan, that we may not have otherwise picked up, thanks to a staff recommendation.

I never feel like I am overpaying for a book, which I often do at other smaller book retailers. The value is great, the service is always friendly, and I am always so excited for my next visit.

By coincidence the day before while driving out to Cannon Beach from Depoe Bay, I caught an insightful NPR segment on the radio that discussed the history and future of indie bookstores. One of the panelists had their book on the non fiction shelf while at Bob's Beach Books, The Bookshop by Evan Friss.

Cashiers were nice, welcoming, had reviews to say about the books we got which I appreciated. Helped inform us on what we expect. Great selection of books with a first and second floor filled with all kinds you could possibly look for. Note: could not find the cat. Was probably hiding somewhere upstairs since I was mostly focused on books on the first floor. You can also ask them about the cat.

I'm glad there are other book store options here in Salem. I've shopped here probably 15 times and…read moreI love how unique this store is. Have never seen the cat, so that's a bummer. I love the option to buy used books. That being said I think their "we buy books" is pretty bad. I wish they gave more information. I brought in about 48 great condition popular books in. I had an appointment at 1:30pm that was made 3 weeks prior. I got there books in hand and was told the person who values the books to buy them was out but that I should get a call with an offer before 3:30pm. I killed some time around Salem as I wasn't expecting this to be quite the process and still had not gotten a call even though it was almost 4pm. I called them and they said the offer would be told to me in store. These are popular books from Carley Fortune, Tessa Bailey, Freida McFadden, Ali Hazelwood etc, and even some special editions of books with sprayed edges. All probably worth around $500 if you count each book as $10. After I came in to ask about my offer, the person helping me seemed pretty excited about all the books I had. Their offer was $57 in a check or $115 for store credit, it almost felt like a slap in the face to be honest. I told them that I'll think about it as I browsed the store. I took like half a lap through the store and went back to the front counter to let them know that I would be taking my books and declining their offer. As soon as I said that, immediate demeanor change in the employee and they just walked off while I had to put all my books back in the bags. Most of the time the staff are fine, but there is the occasional visit where I have staff a little too relaxed, almost as if they're not working at a bookstore. And there have been a few times I was waiting at the front counter ready to check out and not even looked at until the employees were done with their conversation which was anywhere from 1min to 10min. Prices are a bit high, but that's expected at an independent book store.

This brand new bookstore just opened. I was curious, so I checked it out…read more It's all bright and clean and new. The workers seemed friendly and there were quite a few other customers there, within an hour of opening. But it never seemed crowded and remained pretty quiet. Here and there they have chairs and tables, so it could be a nice place to sit down with a book for a while. The rows are not straight, so it was a little hard to navigate the store. There were lots of books, but also lots of other things on sale. Puzzles, toys, records, pop culture gifts, and stationary/journals. They had a whole Harry Potter section with the books, of course, but lots of other Potter paraphernalia, like toys, mugs, etc. The signage over some of the sections was missing letters, I think whatever adhesive they used to affix the letters had issues with the curving surface of the book shelves. This store also had lots of events with authors on their event calendar. The cafe seemed like it had the regular snacks and beverages on offer, but I didn't look too hard at the menu. I don't really buy books much anymore (recovering book hoarder here), but this seems like a good addition to the bookstores in the area. I was a little surprised to hear of a new corporate bookstore opening up, but I see they are covering their bases a bit by selling tons of other gifts (and food) along with books. I bet this place will be packed leading up to the holidays!

My fiancé wanted to find a specific Game of Thrones book, a few mins before closing time. We asked an employee for help and they were able to give us the exact coordinates and destination of where the book was located. We were able to find it quickly and easily. Having no sales tax made it a pay for exactly how much it was stated for. At check out, staff were friendly and welcoming. They even had free stickers and bookmarks that you could take. There was a book for everyone which made it a great value and place to visit. Wish we had more time to look around but it's huge inside!
