  0 0 Check out the handy Indie Bookstore Finder on the Indiebound website (for some reason - Windows 7? - I'm no longer able to embed links, so: http://goo.gl/kbLju ) They list a bunch, including the charming Arundel Books, the ever awesome radical Left Bank Books and flanking it to the south Revolution Books, the fantastic-if-you're-into-that Seattle Mystery Bookshop and Kinokuniya stores. A transfer to the SLUT will get you to Inner Chapters, though otherwise the downtown core is sadly empty of the fantastic bookstores that once graced the bus tunnel corridor - Beatty's, Shorey's, Elliot Bay - I'm afraid you have to head up the hill, or out towards Seattle Center. Pioneer Square still has Wessell & Lieberman, and Globe, I believe. Of course the biggest pile of books in the whole city is right in the middle of all that, but you might not like it: we don't charge any money or make you buy anything, but you do have to bring stuff back. I wonder if anyone has ever given library books as wrapped presents.

Unless your giftee is a.) an anarchist b.) a mystery buff or c.) a manga fan - I suspect it is your best bet. David Wright commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 PPS: that's not quite fair, actually - Left Bank has a nice general fiction section right up front that should be good for a quick gift.

  0 0 Elliot Bay Book Company is located by bus routes #10 or 11; or with a few blocks walk from Seattle Central on the #49. All three buses stop on Pike Street downtown, and run at least every 15 minutes (individually), so you wouldn't have to wait long. The stops nearest the bus tunnel (at Westlake) are at 4th & Pike or 6th & Pike (by American Eagle in the City Centre building). agness answered in General Book Discussion 5 months ago | Report 1 comment by agness… 1 0 If you are looking for graphic novels and the like, also check out Zanadu on 3rd, between Stewart and Virginia, on the west side if the street. agness commented 5 months ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 There are quite a few independent bookstores in Pioneer square (get off at Pioneer Square Station in the tunnel) - My favorites are Wessel & Lieberman and Newberry books. Within a few blocks from 1st and Yesler, there must be at least several independent bookstores.
