Queen Anne Book Company

Cute neighborhood bookstore with a small-town vibe, conveniently located next to a café. I personally couldn’t find much I was looking for, as the selection is on the smaller side, but that was expected given the size. Still a charming spot for a casual browse.

Superlative Independent, local book shop. It is so inviting here... Well lit and equally well curated. The recommendations are unique and thoughtful and run through each section, so that whatever your taste, there's something to try. The children's section is large - well balanced between picture books and readers. There's an excellent variety of interesting graphic novels. The summer offering of Reader's Bingo is a good example of the store's ingeniousness, offering fresh and inviting ways to expand one's reading diet, encouraging many genres and formats. The employees extend this aesthetic with engaging conversation and kind assistance. One senses their love of reading and interests and I left inspired to read more. A lovely visit.

Beautiful bookstore in the beautiful queen Anne neighborhood. Good fiction collection, cute postcards

I came in to return a book and was surprised by the attitude I received. Their posted return policy states that refunds are provided “in the same tender,” but when I asked for a cash refund (since I had paid in cash), I was told they only refund to credit cards and could only offer store credit. When I pointed directly to the policy on their own website, I was met with more passive-aggressive responses, including, “I’ll have to change that.” To their credit, they did ultimately honor the refund, but the whole interaction felt unnecessarily dismissive. I’ve always liked supporting local shops, but this experience left me disappointed.
