Bloomsbury Books is a wonder shop that has a library books for every reader. It's an amazing spot…read morewith an upstairs cafe with beer and wine and tasty treats. The amazing librarians or book hosts were amazing and sweet. They answered any questions we had and it was very much appreciated. Also they allow dogs inside so if your dog is well mannered then bring them along and see if they want to get a book too. Their books are amazingly organized and you can find what you're looking for from kids, educative, cooking , horror, fantasy allAt wonderful pricing. They have places for you to sit and read and the cafe is amazing. Overall you can't go wrong.

Finishing up my Xmas shopping popped in for the last bits…read more Santa books. When our kids were little Santa left books at the foot of the bed so they could unwrap and stay in bed and read until it was at least 7am. Well, 20 and 22 and we're still doing it. I needed a couple of recommendations and could not have been happier to have help from the staff. Kind, knowledgeable and chock full of fantastic ideas. What I thought would be me meandering the aisles for hours (not that I don't love to do that, I just couldn't today) turned into a quick amazing process. If I could give 10 I would. The hardest part now will be waiting for them to get up before noon Xmas morning. Thank you Bloomsbury-

You can tell they put their hearts into literature and make sure you know what you're looking at and where to find it. They also allowed our dogs in so it's always nice when we can have that and wonder a book store. The price and value would depend one what ya got. Some of the older books I believe retained more value so it really depends on. They also buy , sell and trade books here so instead of getting rid of anything bring em here. It's a great stop and one of many bookstores in the area that is worth the stop.

One is more of a wide variety but more modern, Tree house focuses more on kids and young adults, the Book Exchange is more like a library with collections, older , modern, categorized etc. this is a wonderful thing because you can't help but go through all of them. Treehouse does have a wide selection but over all vibe is bring your kids in and there is a flavor of literature for everyone. They are price very well and I was even able to get a replica ring of THE ONE RING ... TO RULE THEM ALL lol . Treehouse is a wonderful spot so don't pass it up.

During a road trip to Portland, my wife & I stopped in Ashland for a day.  While walking around…read moredowntown, we found this lovely children's bookstore.  Housed in a former bank, the staff here have crammed children's books, toys, games and other trinkets in every nook and cranny of the place, including inside the bank vault in the back of the store.  They have optimized the small space, offering the inventory of a much larger store.  Despite the vast number of titles available, the store is very clean and well organized.  The staff are also very helpful and were willing to answer all of our questions.  This is a must stop for us the next time we visit Ashland!

Hermeticus is the "reincarnation" of a Talent bookstore destroyed in the Almeda Fire. It was…read moreopened on Nov. 9, 2021, at a B Street storefront in Ashland, steps from its intersection with Fourth Street in the Railroad District. One of the original owners recently passed and if you want to buy one of his fascinating and original wall art pieces, good luck! Past that, this is definitely a book store of literary titles that you didn't previous know that you needed. The store (which I think was once a Yoga studio) has 2 spacious rooms (front and back) and plenty of space to spread out and dive in. The selection is well curated (and organized) and priced accordingly. Hermeticus really requires multiple visits as there's so many exploration options. The person working the day I was there, was well versed in what topics I chose to bring up. I'll be sure to visit again the next time I'm in Ashland and hope that I can pull the trigger on a unique art piece or some personal literary masterpiece.

Not what you'd expect, the little used bookshop is full of rare and fascinating books on Alchemy, knowledge held by Mystery Schools of the past, and quite a selection of rare books on similar subjects.

I have spent a lot of time and money here. The prices are all over the place, but it seems to average at $6-$10 per paperback, if it's a popular series it will certainly be near $10 or higher. I recently traded a series of books and was shocked by the store credit I received. I traded a new series of popular books that are hard to get second hand. The series is so new it's still being sold in big book stores for $60. I received $1 store credit per book. I couldn't even get an older $6 paperback I found with that credit. I understand that's how they make money but I am still disappointed. I will now only come here to buy used. I would have rather donated to the library for that price, that way I could at least check them out again.

Whether you are there to sell books or buy books, or place an order for a book, this is one of the very best places near Ashland. It is not technically within the city of Ashland but very close, in the town of Talent, right off the highway with parking. I have enjoyed working with this couple and look forward to many return visits. Prices are very very reasonable, lowest in the area for used books, and there are more than paperbacks here, there are also hardbacks!

I contacted Blackstone and they sent me a new copy, but the discs still skip. I don't know how to solve this problem. I don't know if its because the discs are released on a CD format that's inferior to regular CDs or if having twenty-nine tracks somehow causes it. I guess maybe I'll never know, but they need to produce better-quality CDs.

Blackstone Audio is located at the southern end of Ashland on old Hwy. 99. What most people don't…read moreknow is that you can buy audio books there and if you are a local resident you might even get a discount. The staff are really nice. One time I wanted an audio book in MP3 format that was available only on CDs. The receptionist said, "Let me see if we can make a MP3 disc for you; wait here. In a few minutes she returned with the MP3 version, hot off the disc burner. Another time I bought a book just issued and found major defects in the recording. I took it back and was warmly thanked for discovering the defect that was in all the current run. The problem was fixed and I received a corrected copy in the mail. There are always books on sale or clearance. Blackstone employs actors from all over to read the books, including some of the local Shakespeare actors. A few years ago Blackstone and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival begin recording one Shakespearian play each year from the full production.
