Unplugged: Haiku & Tanka (Lulu.com, 2022) by Jacob D. Salzer

White Oak Books is a wonderful local bookstore with an excellent selection to choose from in every genre. Their staff is very friendly and welcoming. They were also open to my poetry book recommendations and added new poetry books to their shelves! In addition, I'm grateful they have sold several of my poetry books. They also have a great poetry section. Their books are also of high value. I highly recommend checking them out! I will definitely be a returning customer. Jacob D.

White Oak is a beautiful location. I like supporting local independent bookstores. They also sponsor book clubs.

I recently visited Portland with some friends. I spent the requisite half-a-day in Powell's my…read morefirst full day in the city but I was a bit disappointed in their theology section. As I planned out my Portland trip I had determined to go to Windows Bookseller and my visit to this bookstore exceeded my expectations. As I understand it, this cozy location is smaller than the Eugene location, but it still has an amazing array of books available, prompting many Solomonic decisions about which books to buy and which ones to leave behind. A few minutes after I arrived and started browsing, I heard Adam recommending Walker Percy to another customer. I knew then that this was a place with good taste in theology books (browsing the literature shelf I noticed a lot of the usual suspects among the "Books & Culture" crowd, including Wendell Berry, Marilynne Robinson, and my favourite, Alice McDermott). There are a lot of theology, biblical studies, philosophy, and history books available at very good prices. Names that leapt out from the shelves included Marva Dawn, Stanley Hauerwas, and Walter Brueggemann. Many of the hardcovers I purchased had laminated covers which I always appreciate. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I left with a box full of books. The next time I visit Portland I am definitely going to prioritize visiting Windows Booksellers again.

My Son led me here last weekend when I was in town. There was lots of notebooks, pens, and other stuff to consider, and having a Kinokuniya membership (10% off) was a bonus. David was more interested in the manga books, and we were happy browsing in our own little corners. We both happily came away with a small collection of treasures and a promise to return. There were lots of folks here, making the aisles a little tight. But checkout moved quickly and efficiently.

Kinokuniya is such a cool bookstore and honestly the perfect place for me. I was able to find manga…read morebooks my partner had been looking for to complete his collection, which made the trip totally worth it. They have an amazing selection, especially if you're into manga, Japanese stationery, and unique books you don't always see elsewhere. The store itself is fun to walk through and browse -- even if you're not looking for something specific, you'll probably leave with something. Everything is well-organized, and it's just a really enjoyable space to spend time in. Great spot for gifts, collectors, or anyone who loves books and wants something a little different. Definitely recommend checking it out.
