The U.W. bookstore's one of my favourite places.
As previous reviewers have stated, the selection is good, and the staff is friendly.
I'm sorry that I don't know his name, but the staff member who presides over the Sci-Fi and Fantasy section is a fount of knowledge. He does a great job of keeping up with trends and finding talented newcomers.
The author readings are also a plus.
Parking in the U. District *can* be pretty tough, but the bookstore does offer validation (with purchase) for parking in the lot at the back of the store.
