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.

Feels Like Home
by SheltieOne at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: They have books you may not find elsewhere
- Cons: Location

A Gem!
by pbown49 at Citysearch
The Parkplace Book Company is an undiscovered gem for those of us living on the east side. Located in the Parkplace Shopping Center in Kirkland, the store is well stocked with an excellent selection of fiction, non-fiction and children's books. It is in the process of expanding, and promises to be even better! I would urge all eastsiders to support their independent book dealers.
- Pros: Good service, Good selection, Independent!
- Cons: Not easy to find, Parking (sometimes)

Snobby and Pretentious!
by Miyu at Citysearch
For crying out loud - it's a book store people! You walk in browse... the sales people are SNOTTY.... They didn't say a word to me while I was browsing in the store for at least 15 minutes - eventually, they started following me around, as if I were to steal one of their books. Staff is snobby and pretentious.... they act if they are selling fine wine..
- Pros: Location, Easy to find books, Book catagories clear
- Cons: Snobby Salespeople, PretentiousAtmosphere, Bad SERVICE!
