I live in Queen Anne and am naturally biased. But this is my favorite small bookstore in the city.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They support local authors. They carry a good selection of children's books. They're always willing to order anything that currently isn't in stock. They have a great book club. And they offer a frequent buyer card, which makes their prices competitive with the big-box stores.
They also happen to be next to a great cafe with cuban coffee and live music several nights a week, so you can turn a trip to the bookstore into a great, affordable night out.
