I love this sweet indy bookshop and am so happy to have it on the island. They have a great selection, will order, and hold wonderful events with local authors.

This street-side bookshop is situated in the middle of the Vashon township, with easy sidewalk access, plenty of curbside parking, & a bounty of interesting books from which to make selections. The interior of the shop is very user-friendly with quiet corners & seating if you need to take a break & browse from a large inventory of books. The range of reading from which to choose include both fiction & non-fiction, travelogues, art, science, & a children’s section. The store is privately owned & operated, & the staff are cordially involved with customers & enthusiastic in helping visitors find their title or category of reading material. The shop also has a variety of post-cards, calendars, & other seasonal items as token reminders of having visited the island. You will also find a variety of good restaurants within easy walking distance. The bookstore shares the building with what appears to be a small area that serves as a “flea-market,” for used merchandise, including clothing. We did not have time to fully search this area, but I expect that you might find a gem of some type of item if you have time to explore. Highly recommend this site for a pleasant experience, especially if you like to read.

I love browsing small, quaint, locally owned bookstores like this one. Vashon Bookshop was one of the nicer ones I've been in. The comfortable couches and chairs were very inviting and I lingered longer than I had planned. As a teacher, I am particularly interested in books for children for my classroom library and this store had a good collection of both new and used children's books. If you like books, there is no question that you'll find something you like.

Classic small town book shop. Eclectic collection, friendly staff, some good finds. Not your average book store.

Mostly used with new books too. Wonderful eclectic selection. Bought two books, one for me and a Christmas present.
