A series of posts about places where you can buy, borrow or donate books in and around our amazing neighborhood.
In 1992 two friends decided that Northeast Portland needed a neighborhood bookstore and, after working in the book business for many years, decided to go out on their own to open their own store. Turning an old furniture store into a bookstore, buying what seemed like a million books for their bookshelves, hiring a few good people, the beginning of an almost quarter century business had begun. There have been a couple changes in ownership but the spirit of the store and the dedication to the customers and neighborhood remains the same. As their website states, “Our friends became our customers and our customers became our friends.”
