A real gem of a bookstore
by Spookie at Citysearch
This is a little gem of a bookstore! I love the convenience, the credit program, and the wide selection of all kinds of books.
The owner is great - so friendly and she knows what books she has the store, and can always make recommendations, too.
Since I've found it, I stop by often, and always leave with a couple of books.
- Pros: wide selection of books, supports local arts, friendly staff
- Cons: none

After calling all over seattle i hit pay dirt @ this book store. I'd been looking for some reggae books all over town. I found a great selection of music related books, and bought a jimi hendrix book i'd never seen.
Owner was cool, parking was easy and pizza was across the street!!
- Pros: selection , price, location

Best Bookstore Around!!
by digikate at Citysearch
I was recently visiting the Greenwood area after searching for bookstores in this engine.
I came across Balderdash Books & Art!
When I went in, I felt very comfortable. Most used bookstores I frequent smell and the person working there usually seems in a bad mood and gets annoyed if you ask them anything. The owner was so nice and helpful I was blown away! She recommend some great books and there is a credit program so I can bring old ones to trade in.
Great Store!! I will return again!
- Pros: Great customer servic, easy parking, lots of resturants
- Cons: none
