    Creative Act by Rick Rubin

    Great book store, with an amazing selection! Not to mention you get 20% off your purchase of new books. Got this Rick Rubin book to read on the rest of our road trip. Thanks Smith's, I'll be back my next visit to Eugene

    As a lover of books, I make it my number one priority to visit all of the independent bookstores in any new city or town that I visit. Smith Family Bookstore turned out to be the best one in Eugene. It reminded me of Powell's Bookstore in that the selection was vast; truly, there is nothing you cannot find in this gem of a shop. They, too, offer new and used books that are in great condition. Unlike Powell's, however, it is family-owned and you get that wonderful feel while in the store. If you're in the Eugene area, or just passing through, please support this wonderful business. Forget Amazon. Take the time to experience what a bookstore feels like and support local, family-owned shops. My one piece of constructive criticism is that I would love to see more displays with recommended books with personal notes from the staff (or perhaps even the locals!). When that effort is made in other stores that I've been to, I find myself coming across some truly incredible works that I would not have found otherwise. I truly love the idea of bibliophiles sharing hidden gems with one another. Otherwise, this is a near-perfect bookstore and I cannot wait to come back to Eugene to visit it again. Thank you, Smith Family Bookstore!

    This has been my favorite bookstore since I was little; I grew up visiting and exploring happily. Their sections are diverse and expansive, and while they may not have every specific book you're looking for, you will always find something that's interesting to you. I love the vibes of the old building and the stacks of books everywhere. They do buy used books, but they have to be in good condition and something they could use in the store at that particular time, which makes sense to me. When I have the time to spend hours here, I do. P.S., in the wake of COVID-19 they're doing curbside pickup and it was really easy!

    Large collection of books, both old and new! Unfortunately, they did not take any of my textbooks.

    This disorganization might be a turn-off for some, but I kinda like the atmosphere.
