Herringbone Bookstore

This is the kind of independent bookstore that every small town wishes they still had. Kaci, the owner, is there everyday and super helpful with recommendations and conversation. Herringbone is also way more than just books. They have all the board games that appeal to my geek side (which is about 85% of me) and little trinkets that make great gifts. Oh and we can’t forget the unique selection of socks they have. The selection of Chivaz, another local Redmond brand, is awesome.

This was right next to Green Plow, so we had to check it out.
Located in a small town, this is such a cute, independent bookstore.
Great selection of books – they even have a shelf based on the staff’s picks.
Even the children’s section is filled with toys, kiddie books, puzzles and other games, little knick-​knacks, crafty activities, etc.
I like the fact that most of their hand-​picked selections were focused on the great outdoors – hiking, nature literature, etc.
If you’re a bookworm and around the area, check Paulina Springs Books!

This place is run by my 2^nd grade teacher, and aside from Barnes and Noble in Bend, it’s the only decent book store around that has an actual selection of reading material for almost every age.

This town needs this cute, little book store. It is located in the heart of downtown Redmond. They have a great selection for being fairly small. It is laid out so everything is easy to find. They offer all the newest releases and best sellers. I remember them selling some unique games and other items. Even if you are not looking to buy, it is a good spot to browse.

Really nice small bookstore. Good selection of great reads, nice environment, good board games available.

Adorable bookstore. Love the hanging sign outside.
Organized very well! Love how the books are displayed.
Everything you want from books, stationery and fun gift items.

OK, I admit it. I’m usually one of those
shoppers that goes to a local bookstore to browse but refuses to pay full price for a book so I go home and buy it from amazon. But I will definitely be back to this store! They had a great selection of unique gifts, cards, toys, and books. They had the current best sellers but also a great regional selection, and used books too! The person working the counter (not sure if it was the owner) was very knowledgeable and helpful too. My husband and I both ended up making purchases, he got mostly books but I ended up with a book, a great wooden puzzle for my toddler, and a kitchen gadget for me! We’ll be back!

Always helpful, and willing to search out that non-​mainstream book. The store is full of lots of interesting titles and subjects — not the mass-​market stuff of the big chains. The staff recommendations are truly helpful, and some of their personal tips have sent us into some super reading experiences. They seem to be able to get any book anytime, and quick. They are a tribute to what a local, independent bookstore can be.

This is what a bookstore is all about in my book, forget about the big guys. Siblings Cynthia and Brad own and manage the store. Their our source for the book club and have been great with accomodating all requests. You can order books through them and they are there within days. Great service, great selection. I have really scored on the staff recommendations, especially in the kids’ department.

Another inviting independent bookstore! As I’ve said before, I love independent bookstores. I love how in general, they focus not only on the bestsellers, but on regional works as well as an eclectic collection of staff picks. I think in a small town market that this is wonderful, because in general you would be getting to know the employees and then you get to see a whole collection of books that you might have otherwise missed. I love how this bookstore displays the bestsellers, book club picks, but also finds a way to recomend some lesser known and less comercial authors. Great way to find a new adventure!
The staff was quite lovely and helpful. This store definately has that small town «glad to see you» feel. A few cozy chairs placed in a couple of different areas makes it inviting to check out a few books while you are there. If you are in the area, please support this store!
