The Scene
If you wept during "You've Got Mail" when Meg Ryan's character is forced to close her beloved children's bookstore, you'll love the Parkplace Book Company. The store is locally owned and staffed by book lovers who are happy to help customers find what they need. Recommendations inscribed on paper slips pepper the store's tall shelves. If a book isn't in stock, they can usually get it within one to three business days. Moms and Dads will appreciate the large selection of books on parenting, as well as the colorful and inviting children's section with both new bestsellers and timeless classics. Writers will find a section just for them, as well as comfy chairs and good lighting to browse and hang out.

The Goods

This is not Costco. Although some books are discounted, most books and magazines are full price. However, you'll get expert customer service, free gift wrapping, and every 13th book free, if you sign up for their Booklover's card.

I love going to this store. It is nice to go to a place that doesn't have twenty million people in it. I hate going to the big book stores because they are so busy and every seat in the place is taken. This one has some really interesting items in it and the people who own the store have been in Parkplace for years. This is the place to go when you are looking for something and need some help finding it. You will have their undivided attention.

This bookstore is located in the busy Park Place complex in Kirkland. At the back of the bookstore there is a very nice collection of bargain books that you might not find elsewhere. The bookstore also carries some cute plush toys in the kids section. It is a very pleasant place to shop before going for a movie in the adjacent cinema.

I had fun at this bookstore. They have a good selection of books that you might not be able to find at the big chain bookstores, and the staff is friendly and knowledgable.
