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

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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
