Wind Books

Very nice store. Mostly paperbacks, which are ½ the cover price. The hardbacks vary in price but are very reasonable. Friendly, helpful staff.

For all of us «Retro-​Old School Bookworms» out there, I think we found a gem in the rough! If you are a knowledge loving person, that truly enjoys things in print, if you really identify with the «The Bookworm» from the classic Twilight Zone Episode (great one! One of my personal favorites!) then a stop at Wind Books may be just your cup of Tea… just don’t break your reading glasses! ;)
Being the lover of old things and places that I am, and being one who also enjoys a great personal experience when I shop (not the annoying shopping mall teen pestering you to buy something, great real conversation with real people, then they leave you to your shopping…), I was happily surprised by a recent visit to this little known place. The owners Linda and John, run this really great used book store. I found some REAL finds here, not gonna name names ’cause I don’t want you all buying my finds before I have the chance to scoop them up! Sorry for being selfish but you just have to go look for yourself!
Anyway, this is not a «Barn Nobly Built» for the tech world, no Wi-​Fi or coffee sold here (it IS however located not far from that popular Seattle Based Coffee place down the road that does have Wi-​Fi and coffee, close enough to sit, read your «Precious» find and relax!), just used books. This has to be the last great Mom and Pop (literally) Used Bookstore in America. Just getting off the street and out of the heat was nice and the helpful owners are some really great people with some great stories about life and books to share.
You don’t necessarily have to be a dyed in the wool «BookOphile» to enjoy this place, I could have used a great shop like this when I was in University, I’m sure the average High Schooler could find some great material here as well for a book report or other project. At any rate if you happen to be in the area and want to experience a little slice of Americana, stop on in, browse some great old reads, chat with Linda, and for God’s sake, just get out of the oppressive heat! OY VEY! Like we need an excuse or Sainted Cause to get some A/​C once in a while??? :))
