Last Word Books & Press

This place is awesome. The vibe is fantasticly chill, and of course it has that fantastic smell of old books! Lots of really cool books including quite a few that I haven't seen other places in a while! It's not very big, but it's well curated and run.

Great bookstore, selling mostly used books for good prices, plus sections for rare/1st editions and new books. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and owners are awesome.

I have been going here for years growing up in Olympia and now whenever I go back to visit. I have always appreciated their unique collection emphasizing topics that don't get as much shelf space in more mainstream bookstores. Anarchy, labor, nature, weirdness, I always find something interesting here.

Hands down my favorite bookstore in town, and we are spoiled for choice. I never have a specific book in mind when I stop by, but always leave with something I have never heard of before, or something I read years ago but want to dive into again. They also have a great selection of hardback fantasy and scifi if you're like me and want to "upgrade" your favorite paperbacks. Side note, I also picked up the full series of Star Trek: TNG on DVD from here and the staff and I had a lovely time discussing our favorite episodes.
