Seattle's Used Bookstores: 1999 and 2019: A Love Note to Book Culture and the Pre-Digital Age

By Mary Brown

Seattle’s Used Bookstores: 1999 and 2019 is a collection of essays and photographs celebrating independent used bookstores in Seattle just before and twenty years after the city's tech boom. It is an homage to the culture of print and the world of used bookstores, reveling in their randomness, quantity of books, resident cats, patrons, and hard-working booksellers. Words and images convey the simple joy of reading, the magic of books and the unique spaces created within bookstores.
