Reviews of Lamplight Books

Millie Kwan

Lamplight Books is another independent bookstore in Pike Place Market. They sell mainly or just used books. It was great to see books that have been out of print for some time as well cookbooks by some of Seattle's best known chefs such as Tom Douglas. Great place to browse as it has a chill vibe and it's inside the market so away from the crowds. A good find to buy a book or kill some time.

This is a good bookstore in the heart of Pike Place Market. Situated behind Las Agave, it's not that easy to locate. The collection of books on offer is quite diverse and there are very unique books to be picked up from here They also have sections on used books and $ 1 books. Must visit if you are a book lover or if you want to casual browse books while in Pike Place Market area

A nice selection of new and used books but what makes the place so lovely is the person keeping shop. They were warm, welcoming, kind, charismatic and funny. They are also really knowledgeable, upon checkout, noticing the titles I was purchasing, they recited a poem from a similar book. The hospitality alone is worth the trip.

I love visiting this bookstore! Customer service is far higher quality than what you’ll get anywhere else. The guy helping us this time (I think he’s the owner!) was hilarious, knowledgeable, and kind. When my cousin asked for cash back to pay for her bus ticket, he let us know that they don’t do cash back, but gave her a dollar from his own “emergency stash”. So kind and unexpected! Books are reasonably priced too. Overall an excellent place, even if you don’t buy any books & just stop by and chat with the owner.

This used book store is small but has a very wide spectrum of genres.

A wonderful little bookstore! I assume the owner was the gentleman that helped us. He was hilarious and witty and kept us laughing. I found some great books that I haven’t seen elsewhere. For my toddler niece, I found children’s board book about science, physics and a handful of other great topics, along with a Little Golden Book about MLK and one about the Moon landing. We would go back specifically to chat with the owner, he was so much fun and was the highlight of our day.

I love lamplight book! I’ve been there twice already and both times I’ve walked out with more than one book. Great selection and amazing quality. The cashiers have definitely been helpful in finding and providing input on titles.

The owner is amazing and delightful. He made my whole family laugh and was so genuine!! Great store to browse and see if you can find an old favorite. Best experience at the market by far!

The lady who helped me was quite friendly and the selection of books was pretty good. Right away she was able to help point everyone in the store towards whatever they inquired about, so she was quite knowledgable too. I was actually surprised that they had a few obscure works which had been difficult to find in both the Philosophy and Metaphysics sections. What I most appreciated about my experience was that while there was no budging on price (I was hoping that since it was in a market I could haggle a bit), when I was checking out the lady saw the books I was buying and made a suggestion of a different book store in Pioneer Square that she recommended I visit. Of course, I did... and her suggestion was 100% on point. Friendly, Helpful, and Fun - I highly recommend Lamplight Books.

Wonderful little bookstore with a great selection and helpful staff. The literature section is extensive and has a variety of gems. Other sections include Pacific Northwest history, anarchy, and a whimsically titled shelf of Shakespeare. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the market.

North Texas Skyworks

This is the smallest of the 3 book stores in the market area. Nothing really special just a square store with books.

Staff is nice, and there's a nice selection of new and old books you haven't seen everywhere. Because of its size, you can't expect to walk in and find anything you're looking for: this bookstore is for browsing. Pricing is typically half price off full.

Derek McDow

My best experience at Pike's Place was at Lamplight. The owner has an incredibly curated collection of books for sale. I could've easily spent half the day browsing.

Kate-Laurel Agnew

Small, but with a terrific selection and immense amount of care put into the stock. If you like literary fiction from the last two centuries, philosophy, criticism, history, AND a very solid smattering of more popular stuff, Lamplight will be extremely satisfying. I'm not sure I've ever been in a used bookstore with no junk: except here.

Joni King

This was the best part of the market that day! I could have spent the whole afternoon in there; the clerk(owner?) was a charming, hilarious oddball, and I spent way more than I should’ve on paperbacks and the brilliant selection of cards.
