While e-books are great for some; I still prefer sitting down and delving into a physical book. When you're looking for that hard to find book or something to bring you back to your childhood, chances are you will find it at Stillman's. Everything is neatly organized by category and you can easily lose time perusing the great selection they have on their shelves. I never leave empty-handed. There is ample parking out front. The staff are very helpful if you need a recommendation or have a hard time choosing if several books catch your eye. It's definitely a hidden gem in White Rock.

Thankfully there are still 1 or 2 bookstores in beautiful White Rock. Yesterday, my stroll took me to Black Bond Books situated in Semiahmoo Mall. They have a great selection of books from best sellers to kids to history to cooking and the list goes on. They also sell a good variety of calendars along with a small selection of toys. The staff always greet their customers and make them feel welcome. If you don't see it on the shelves, they are more than happy to order it for you. After enjoying myself just strolling the aisles, I left with a book I've been looking forward to reading. With every book purchase, they always include a bookmark (no dog-eared books for me). They accept cash, credit and debit. There is parking in the mall parking lot. If you love to read as much as I do or have a reader in your life that you want to shop for, I highly recommend Black Bond Books.

Pelican Bay Books & Coffeehouse isn't just a bookstore; it's the heart of Anacortes's literary and…read moresocial life, a true haven where the maritime air meets the comforting scent of old paper and fresh espresso. This isn't a sterile chain shop--it's a warm, sunshiny hub built from beautiful wood tones, welcoming you to slow down and stay awhile. What immediately strikes you is how wonderfully curated the space is. Despite being "jam-packed" with thousands of quality used and collectible books, the store manages to feel open, airy, and inviting. The selection is fantastic, especially their deep cuts in Pacific Northwest History, general fiction, and esoterica. Browsing is a delight thanks to the meticulous organization that makes finding that hidden literary gem feel like a genuine discovery. The "Coffeehouse" part of the name is equally crucial. Serving delicious, locally-sourced coffee (like Olympia Coffee Roasters beans) and boasting a pastry case filled with unique treats--the legendary rosemary sea salt rolls, figgy bars, and baked goods are must-tries--it perfectly complements the reading experience. The friendly, attentive staff, who are clearly passionate about bookselling, are always ready to offer a recommendation or assist, often going above and beyond. Whether you're looking for a quiet, bright nook to get some work done, a comfortable chair to sip a vanilla bean latte, or an engaging evening out for a poetry reading or live piano music, Pelican Bay delivers. It's a bookstore with character, clearly beloved by locals and a mandatory stop for any visitor. It's the kind of place you'll remember long after you've left Anacortes. Highly, highly recommend!

And I honestly don't think I've ever met nicer baristas in my life! They were all so sweet and kind and helpful! I tried out the fig leaf latte and the autumn tea latte and both were spectacular! Great flavor and smoothness. Overall I love this bookstore and it's well worth the drive! Definitely a hidden gem! I'll be back!!
