This bookstore has a huge selection like the big box stores, but profits stay in the community. Students and staff get 10 percent back at the end of the academic year, so it’s a great deal for people associated with the UW (or know someone who is). They have an annual children’s book sale in the Spring with great finds. The clearance tables almost always yield something interesting – not the usual boring coffee table books. They have generous parking validation, so park in the lot. If you don’t buy anything you still get your first half hour free.
