Reviews of Phinney Books

S Liu

My favorite indie bookstore in town! The layout is informative and makes you feel welcomed. Every time I can discover some books I can’t leave without - it’s magical! Love their puzzle selection too.

Sally Anne Sadler

I love their stock. Wonderful books, and it's not too gift oriented, and the gifts they have are unique. Beautiful things. I only complaint is how it is organized. The children's books are in the bottom shelf. Is a large children's section but the most popular children's books of the year, are on a bottom shelf that I cannot reach. The other is I felt like the children's section had a giant percentage of the store and literary fiction was in a much more restricted area.

Phinney Books is a pleasant neighborhood bookstore. I like how the bookstore is laid out and I appreciate the color scheme they chose for the store. They have a lot of new books to choose from and their selection is pretty extensive given the size of the space. They have a nice kids book section as well as a young adult section. In addition, they have gifts and other knick-knacks like puzzles, stuffed animals, and greeting cards. I do also really appreciate the events that they hold – I saw some flyers in the store for book clubs. I also saw a flyer for a subscription service. I do wish the person at the counter would have greeted me which would have been nice, but she seemed preoccupied with her thoughts. Overall, I’m glad I happened upon the store and will keep in mind when looking for some nice books.

The quintessential neighborhood bookstore. Great staff, good recommendations, welcoming environment, and fun cards. Also always end up walking away with a puzzle when I pick up my books.

Brendan Monroe

One of the absolute best bookshops I've ever stepped foot in. I particularly love that Phinney features books from small, independent publishers — many of which focus on authors in translation. If you just want to see the latest bestsellers, you may as well shop at Barnes & Noble, but the selection of books featured here is so well curated that you doubly love spending your dollars at this place. The fellow manning the counter the day I came by was really friendly! Just could not be a better place to while away 20 minutes to an hour!

DB Weeds

Great bookstore with all of the best books in stock....interesting, well chosen books

Sam Gordon

Great local bookshop, my go-to.

Katherine Clarke

I love this little local bookstore. Staff has been friendly and helpful every time I've been there. I asked about a book that they didn't have on hand, but they ordered it and it arrived the next day!

Angela Galdabini

This is a small independent bookstore. It sells new books and while the selection isn't large, the staff will happily order things for you. The focus here is books. There aren't a lot of other gift items, there's no espresso... just books. And new books... not used books. 🙂 They used to do a great kid's storytime before COVID, and hopefully will be able to start that again. I wish this could be the size and scope of Third Place Books or Elliott Bay, but in this day and age, it's a rare and special treat to have a neighborhood bookstore at all!

Dylan Koutsky

Super helpful and friendly staff. Great little neighborhood book shop. If they don’t have something in stock right away, they can usually get it within a couple days for you too.

Yarek Hrywna Rivers

Wonderful local bookstore. Fun to browse, and they'll gladly order anything not in stock. Great Children's section, and a nice selection of local cards and crafts too!

Murray Sampson

This is a pretty awesome bookstore. On the small side, but with a wonderful selection and the ability to order most anything quickly. The staff is super friendly and the store is well kept up. It's my favorite bookstore in Phinneywood.

Joyce M

Small bookstore, but very nice. Great selection of children's books for the size. A little pricey in my opinion, but it is not a big chain store, so to be expected.

David Blanchard

If Disneyland the Monterey Bay Aquarium and The Burke Museum were put into a blender this would be the result. My daughters absolute favorite place to go is this small yet mighty special soul of a store that has transformed her imagination into an amazing amount of knowledge and enthusiasm.

Robert Zwirner

One of North Seattle's finest bookstores. Home to an elegantly curated selection that foregrounds authors rarely translated or uncommon works from masters of craft, meanwhile keeping abreast of the best in contemporary literature, history, ecology, and memoir. Superb themed window displays reflect a massive breadth of interests.

Andrea Hanson

Small neighborhood bookstore. Great selection of new and relevant reading! Children's section and tiny play area. Staff are helpful and have great recommendations. 🤓 …

Seth Messinger

This is a nearly perfect independent bookstore. It has a wide, but very nicely curated selection in many, many categories that reflect both general interest and the interests of its owner operator. They are very quick to try to fill special orders and inquiries.

Kearstin Estrada

Lovely atmosphere with kind staff and covid conscious standards. Great selection of books for all ages. Will definitely stop by again :)

A K Bonner

Great place, great selection of books! I spent a couple of relaxing hours in a chair reading while waiting for my car to get fixed, aaaand purchased 3 books. Owner/staff was very friendly & helpful.

Pamela Jaynes

We love this local book store. If they don't have a book we want in stock, they order it for us and get it to us quickly. During the pandemic, they even delivered for free.

Leo Lam, Ph.D.

Local full price bookstore. If you have the Chinook Book, there's a 20% off discount. I was surprised to not be greeted by the owner while other patrons seemed to be greeted. Don't know why. It's a cute sure and I wish it would stay in the neighborhood.

Hank Hollenbaugh

A lovely shop with friendly helpful people. If they don't have it they will gladly get it for you, often the next day. Well stocked, great selection, and a good place to browse.

Bryan Lowe

Wonderful local bookstore that I always, always end up buying really interesting books in. Love the cookbook section, but I often fall down the rabbit hole of their great fiction selection as well.

A wonderful neighborhood bookstore with a good selection of books and an awesome staff! They are always happy to give advice on what kind of books for the bill when you're not quite sure what to get.

Mark Mazzola

Very personable service and a wonderful atmosphere for browsing through books. They have a great selection for kids of all ages as well as adults.

Great selection of current event titles. I have ordered many books by simply placing a phone call. Most books show up by the following Tuesday.

Conor Krystad

During the Holiday season they leave out cookies! Always support your local books stores, I don't want to see Amazon kill all of them
