Anyone know the 4 or 5 best bookstores to visit in Seattle? No special
field just good books.

Thanks - Charles

Go check the several shops on Stone Way N. particularly Seattle Book
Center (3530 Stone Way N).

In the Pioneer square area, Wessel and Lieberman Booksellers 208 First
Avenue and there are several other stores along First street.

Then go take a nice ferry ride out to Whidbey Island and visit Gregor
Rare Books, 197a Second Street, Langley WA. Gregor has moved there
from South Seattle.

Seattle had many other fine bookstores but these are on my always must
visit when in Seattle list.

In case you have time for a side trip: we've found Victoria BC very good
for books too.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
