It's upstairs from the main (very touristy) shop, and the ladies section (which is where I visited) features name brand clothing, an amazing selection of shoes, accessories, jewelry, and all sorts of cool stuff. I could have spent hours (and much, much money) here if only I had extra room in my cruise suitcase. Alas, I was only browsing. The staff was friendly and super helpful, too. A woman on the cruise ship had told me about this place, and that she liked to call ahead and the shop staff would pull outfits for her to try on - wow, talk about service! Prices were a bit high, but that's to be expected in Alaska. When I return to Ketchikan on my next cruise, I'll definitely stop here (and plan to bring an extra suitcase along too)!

I was so happy to find Parnassus Books in Ketchikan during a recent Alaskan cruise. This was one of our first stops after my wife & I disembarked our ship. It was still early in the day, so there weren't too many patrons in the shop. The store was quite large for a small town, so we spent a good amount of time walking through the place and browsing the shelves. While I read mostly non-fiction, I was pleased to find a section of fiction books written by local authors. I purchased one that was autographed and plan to enjoy it when I get back home. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the store was well organized and clean, with the all the shelves clearly labeled. This was the best bookstore we visited during our Alaskan trip.
