Bookstores in Seattle

Bookstores

• The University Bookstore has an excellent selection of textbooks, "regular" books, and other items (such as UW clothing). Save your receipts, because students, faculty, and staff get about 10% back after turning them back in at the end of the year.

• Barnes and Noble in U-Village is incredibly huge (the building used to be a department store).

• Elliot Bay Book Company downtown has a great atmosphere, with a cozy cafe in the basement.

• The U-District has several used bookstores, including Magus on 42nd.

• The Seattle Public Library has a huge semiannual sale in the Fall and Spring where books are solds for 50 cents to a dollar a piece. It fills an entire warehouse in the former Sandpoint Naval Station.
