The Elliott Bay Book Company: what do users think?

Richie Gowin: They sell mostly new, not used books. Be ready for regular priced books. The selection is great, all highlighted with plenty of personal recommendations scattered about. It’s nice and wide open with tall ceilings, so you feel like you have room to breathe. There’s definitely a reason it’s one of the top bookstores.

Will Oberst: Went to a book release party of a scifi novel base on of east asia had won the space race. Live music by the author, a great host, and home made food by the author's mom was an experience and a half.

Barrett Brooks: Delightful local bookshop with a coffee shop and huge book selection

Heejin Hwang: I was impressed by the handwritten recommendations for each recommended book. The bookstore has a nice atmosphere, so it's a great place to stop by. Just a souvenir? It was a pity that there wasn't much stationery.

Ashley Cates: Such great selection on every topic you can imagine!

Mick Dees (nomad.mick): Really great bookstore! So many books and well organized, and there’s a nice cafe inside.

Such a great stop for any book lover.

Johnathan Day: Nice employee's and great selection. Lots of first additions and hard to find books. Will recommend and return.

Lamplight Books: what do users think?

--: and read. There is a book cart with discount titles for $1 each outside the store front and a table with regular-priced books as well.

Lindsey Cox: I think I heard the best sales pitch for a book in my life here! I was looking for a book by the author Neil Gaiman and the sales guy stepps up, and just deliveres the most eloquent and enticing little hook for one of his books, Neverwhere! Much better than any bit written on the back of the book, I was immediately like "yeah I'm buying this book." You could definitely tell he, and his coworkers, cared about the books, and knew what they were doing! I finished the book and it may have been one of my favorites I read in a while! Cute shop too, I love all the little corners in it.

Olivia Yoon: Nice cozy bookstore. Bought a book for the 2024 resolution!

Christian Skoorsmith: A gem of a find in the depths of Pike Place Market. A good mix of new and previously owned books, packed to the rafters and smelling just like a bookstore should. The prices were fair and the selection impressive for such a small space. Worth a special trip or getting off the beaten tourist path to visit!

Iris Coloñ: Awesome!! Best bookstore at the market hands down. I went to 2 others there and this one put them to shame. Really nice store and great customer service.

Alexandria Nova: 4 Stars instead of five for putting Kamala Harris in fiction. Really rings true with my idea that the area has a schizophrenic bent and represses realities that threaten their solipsist white male capitalist inner construct. That said, I doubt she didn't at least partially ghost write it. So that she wrote it may be a work of fiction, but that she exists is not. Well how's that for a philosophical problem.That said the philosophy was good. They had Alexis dT but I didn't pick it up because it was pretty expensive and I'm on a budget even though I've been wanting to for awhile. There's an extensive gender section, which is awesome, and a whole culinary writing section which is also awesome.I would've thought the philosophy would've been cheaper given its very "used, charming bookstore" feel but it was still over my budget for the day. Only reason for 4/5 stars.They have a whole shelf set aside for one of my favorite publishers of fiction. Recently read a flop from them so haven't picked up with the other pieces of theirs I've had but this reminded me to not give up just because of one bad apple from a publisher.

Sheik Muhammad: An excellent place with good yet old books. Give it a go. You will not regret it. The owners and employees there are a cool and knowledgeable bunch, so ask 'em if they got the titles you're looking for.

ItsAnnalise Goddard: Great selection of books and will definitely come again.

Tom Johnson: This bookstore sections are really well labeled, making it easy to browse the genres you're interested in. They had a large stack of almost every Bill Bryson book written. It was fun to browse and look at the books within the context of Pike Place Market. Wander in, browse, read, and discover a new author or topic. Bookstores are like portals into other worlds.

Will Cappon: Nice selection, good prices.

Millie Kwan: Lamplight Books is another independent bookstore in Pike Place Market. They sell mainly or just used books. It was great to see books that have been out of print for some time as well cookbooks by some of Seattle's best known chefs such as Tom Douglas. Great place to browse as it has a chill vibe and it's inside the market so away from the crowds. A good find to buy a book or kill some time.

Chinmaya Behera: This is a good bookstore in the heart of Pike Place Market. Situated behind Las Agave, it's not that easy to locate. The collection of books on offer is quite diverse and there are very unique books to be picked up from hereThey also have sections on used books and $ 1 books. Must visit if you are a book lover or if you want to casual browse books while in Pike Place Market area

Allen C: This used book store is small but has a very wide spectrum of genres.

Lisa S: The owner is amazing and delightful. He made my whole family laugh and was so genuine!! Great store to browse and see if you can find an old favorite. Best experience at the market by far!

Fernando Gonzalez: Nice place, but nota enough space ti examine all the available so interesting books.

Left Bank Books Collective: what do users think?

Kate Powell: Excellent selection of graphic novels/comics, plus political theory, history, and gender studies, but even beyond their areas of focus, they always have something interesting I've never seen before or elsewhere.I personally really appreciated the mask policy, especially considering how hard it must be to ventilate that space.Customer service was excellent, and the vibes are immaculate.

Richard Bond: . Buy a book for yourself, get another for a prisoner

Renae Lynch: Shop here. Their selection is unmatched. They provide a delightful safe space in the neighbourhood ❤️💛🖤

Mars Jacobsen: Amazing selection of authors and titles! The poetry section was my favorite. I love poetry by trans authors, and there was plenty of new content to enjoy. I also really appreciate that masks are both required and provided. Even in 2024, it's an important part of community care, especially in a location that brings people from across the world to enjoy all that Seattle has to offer.

Mandy Gillis: My favorite bookstore in Pike Place Market! Super cute space with an incredible selection of LGBTQ books, in addition to other great reads. The sci-fi, fantasy, and non-fiction sections are fantastic!

Jillian Adams: Sweet lil, indie, book shop with anarchist, LGBTQIA+ support, great finds and a perfect way to ensure you can explore global views and perspectives. Love.

Nikita: Cool place, lots of zines in the back and I always come away with a new book I didn’t plan on reading

Syranda Wiley de Navarro: Really loved the selection in this bookstore!

Alice Garner: Amazing bookstore with the best decor and very friendly staff! I was sad they were out of the book selection I wanted but that’s ok! Great anarchist bookstore with a decent Black Studies selection too!!

Christian Gustafson: Always liked this one. The proprietor has very good taste.

Mirit Markowitz: Hard to beat a good second hand bookstore with everything could you want when discovering and getting lost in old books with enough curation not to make that journey feel confusing and disjointed.

If you don’t find what you want or something adjacent you are sure to find something you need. One of my favorite bookstores in Seattle, hands down.

It's my new go-to when I need the next book in a series I'm binging or just need something new to try.Hands down great work all around, but the cherry on top is they have now twice beaten out Amazon on availability and speed! I was a fan before but I will now be ordering books through them like an Adult Scholastic book program. 10/10 please support this lovely small business!!!

Thuy Nguyen: I always call here first before buying a book because they’ll either have it in stock or can get it within the next day or so. Whenever my kids need a book for a book report we often call here first and often can get it faster than online. They also have a well curated selection of children’s books.

Anna van Wesep: What a lovely bookstore! They had by far the best children’s book display and collection I’ve seen in a while, and we enjoyed finding gems there for gifts and ourselves. The owner is so friendly and clearly knows her people and neighborhood- she’ll order whatever you need. My toddler and I enjoyed our time here and will definitely be coming back for a visit again.

Karma: Great store! Has $1.00 books too ❤️

Trinity The Tuck: Cute book store. Fun location!

Daniel Smith: Love it! Nice little store with a large selection. Friendly and helpful staff. I will say, some signage in Pike Place Market on the ground floor or near entrances would be helpful, as it was a little difficult to locate when the suite # starts with a 5 and the floor the bookstore is on is 4.

Amanda C.: Very cute store with a nice selection. Stop in!

Kris C.: The owner welcomes you and offers direction. I have found some reads along with postcards with lovely art displayed on them here! Bookmarks, journals, and postcards are a must to tie together a bookstore and they're found here. This is a small, quirky little bookstore that you must walk into while in the Pike Place area!

Epic Heart Healing: Highly recommend this charming bookstore. It has an awesome assortment of titles to choose from. Above all, the atmosphere and the owner are vibrant, friendly, whimsical, and welcoming! My husband and I loved visiting this past week and meeting the owner David and browsing through the books! What a lovely bookshop. Also, his books are very reasonably priced. Visiting Lion Heart was our favorite part of this weekend. Check it out! You'll be glad you did!!!!

Angel Olmos: I LOVE bookshops and this is the first one I stumbled past on my trips to Seattle, so I peaked my head in. What happened next was the nicest man poked his head out from behind the counter and greeted me with the most kindness and generosity I would’ve never expected from a stranger. Never before had I met a person with such a bubbly and upbeat personality than him. He regaled me tales of all the books I took interest in, and he was very knowledgeable on just about everything. Unfortunately, I left the store wanting to pick up some Camus but he had just sold his last copy the day before. Despite not buying a thing he was appreciative of me stopping by and hoped I’d stop by again. So two years later, that’s what I did. Out of all the time that had passed one memory stood out to me from pike place, and it was this very bookstore. So I’m my return I went looking for it and lo and behold that same upbeat demeanor found me again. I exchanged pleasantries and he greeted me in that same pleasant attitude. This time however was different, he had Camus! So I stocked up on the books I wanted and with great appreciation sent me on my way. It was fate that I saw him again, recently his mother had become Ill-and so he hasn’t been able to be open all the time, and that’s partly a reason why i believe he enforces a mask policy at his store but it’s a small price to pay for the livelihood of his family and those around him and that’s something I can deeply respect. Rarely do you meet a person who stays in your head over such a tumultuous time and I have got to tell you, this is one such person and place I highly recommend you stop by and do you your shopping at.

Alexander Cole: Came to Seattle for new years. My favorite part was meeting David, the store's owner. We had a lovely chat about the book I purchased. But the most valuable thing I left with was the interaction. Will definitely be coming in here everytime I'm in town.

Neel Venugopal: The owner has a glowing personality and can answer any question you have about anything in the store. Truly a great experience, and can't recommend it enough if you like walking in book stores.

Brian Rowe: Cozy bookstore with a friendly worker behind the counter. I got 3 interesting books for less than $15! My new fav local bookshop.

David Parajon: Buy books here when in Seattle.

Kyle Langston: Great store, good selection and a fun overall experience. The shopkeeper, David, is very friendly and enjoys chatting with people and getting to know you. Definitely check it out if you’re in the Pike Place Market area!

Kyle Giddings: The store owner is the gem of Seattle, the books are great as well.

Jane Doe: Absolutely adored both the owner and the store! Great collection of books, including- Amish romances. Loved the owner, a fabulous experience

Ritambhara Singh: Magical!

Kylis Asbury: I have always loved this place, it is a magical bookstore with great finds.

Sam Wolk: Best book store in Seattle maybe

Jefferson Petrey: One of the last great used book stores in Seattle. Vast selection of fiction in every genre, as well as an extensive philosophy and theory section. Trade paperbacks and graphic novels, sci-fi and fantasy isle, and rare and out of print books behind the front counter. They are regularly buying used collections, so what happens to be on hand at any given time changes from week to week.

B L M F Literary Saloon: what do users think?

eric williams: It’s been years since I lived in Seattle, but what I remember the most is the used bookstores. On a recent visit, I discovered the Literary Saloon, and I was reminded that there really are the most amazing used bookstores there.Mr. Johnson is the most masterful curator/literary merchant I have encountered on my most recent trip. He was happy to help, but really happy to let me look through every single pile like a crazy completist freak.Please, must be seen to be believed. If you are a thoughtful, smart, and widely read…this is where you will likely lose two hours of your vacation in the essays section.

--: . I spent an hour viewing different books, which felt doable with the smaller space and foot traffic from many visitors coming and going. Folks with mobility issues may or may not be able to have adequate space to move around in the store. I was not disappointed by the titles I came across, so it looked like there was something for many people to enjoy and pique their interest. The owner was welcoming and chill, they would walk around the store to ask if customers were finding everything ok and offering assistance. There was no overbearing tone or sarcasm from them, they were just a literary saloon owner who wanted to help. I appreciated that, and found many titles to add to my wishlist for a future visit and for purchase. I even got a free B L M F themed bookmark with the book that I bought, which I thought was a nice gesture. The condition of the store was clean, the floors were swept regularly, so the only things left on the ground were mats and books overflowing from the shelves. To me, B L M F Literary Saloon is a book haven and is up there with the bookstores that I have visited, easily in my top five. I will definitely do business here in the future, thank you so much for an excellent experience!

Amanda C.: When you walk in and it’s almost floor to ceiling books, you know it’s going to be good. The best kind of maze and some really cool and interesting books.

Matt Barnes: Stopped by while visiting Pike Place. They had a wide selection of graphic novels, which really surprised me, and I left with some great reads!

Stephan Gonzalez: This is the best store I have visited in years! Wasn’t looking for anything but found something at a wonderful price. The store clerk knows where everything is, very nice guy. A must visit.

Damon Hawk: stories. Thought you’d be interested!

Steven Morris: The fella in the store helped us find local authors, going in depth about their significance and a description of their stories. Great place!

Karin D.: . I found several books to purchase, which is quite the feet considering my current TBR pile. We will definitely visit again!

Ranjani Srinivasan: Cute second hand bookstore. Can find most titles you're looking for, but runs a little pricey in my opinion. Each book is priced ~ 60% of the original price.

Jane Wallis: A fabulous place, lovely selection, and a unique, wonderful and helpful curator. Great music playing, chill ambience. Could have spent all day here.

Bill Richards: Lovely place, love second hand book places with bloody friendly staff

Edge of the Circle Books: what do users think?

Daniel Crandall: Great selection of witchery and occult books and Tarot decks, and a nice supply of materia. My new go-to for the right kind of candles.

Jess Davis: I stop by here on occasion to look for their varied selection of incense and oils, and the staff is incredibly kind and friendly every time. There is one man with long gray hair who occasionally works the cashier who's always a joy to talk to whenever I come in. I remember coming in wearing a NiGHTS Into Dreams shirt once and he was fascinated by it and asked who the character on it was. I'm going to miss this place when I leave.

Amanda Carson: This is such a cool store! Everyone was friendly and there was a large selection of books and tarot cards 💕

Stacy Walsh: Awesome Store! Lots of jewelry for the holidays! Robert always has a large selection of books, jewelry, pottery and more. Need Tarot cards he's your one stop shop💓

Andrew Schepers: Wonderful metaphysical shop. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and generous with recommendations. The tarot deck selection may be the largest in the Seattle area, it's impressive. Magickal objects of all kinds are very fairly priced. If you aren't sure what you need on your journey, they'll work to help you find it.
