This tiny, hidden nest of books can be found upstairs from the Kimchi Bistro.
Here you can find experimental literature suitable for your avant-​garde coffee table. Support the local artists and patronize the arts with such a low profile it should be criminal. Aspiring authors can post their drafts on a special bulletin board, like back in the day before there was the internet.
The upstairs section of this bookstore is a mini-​library for the community, freed from the institution grasp and tyranny of the Seattle Public Library!

This «small-​press only» bookstore is beautiful, cozy… and absolutely necessary in today’s samey-​same book-​world where literary voices and unique styles often make it into stores at all. The owner Summer tries to read every book she carries. I’m glad this place exists!

Word porn. Book porn. Literary porn.
So, this is where the Seattle literati are hiding all the good stuff. The small press stuff. The translated from foreign language stuff. The really really random but that makes it so-​damn-​good stuff.
These are the types of books that make me crave more and make the free hits at the library seem trivial. I’ll pay for these books. I’ll write in fragments for these books. I’ll do whatever it takes. I swear.

Tiny place with an interesting range of books. Don’t come looking for Barnes and Noble-​style titles, (thank you, Summer!) because this small piece of bookstore heaven carries the more obscure and thought-​provoking stuff.
I’ll be watching for local artists to put their creations on the wall soon. Cornish students, where are you?
