This was a very nicely laid out little local bookstore. I found everything I was looking for and there were a lot of nice bookstore kinds of items like totes, bookmarks, cards, etc.

We always find so many things to buy in this charming, well-curated bookstore. They have the best in new releases but also oldies-but-goodies that werent on our radar. There are also fun pens, great cards, and other wonderful gift items plus friendly, helpful staff. Worth a trip on the water taxi and West Seattle shuttle/ walk if youre in Seattle! Its a delightful destination.

Fun local book shop. Its a small store but always has the current popular books, and carries classics as well. It also has a nice selection of non-book items such as journals and arts and crafts supplies.

Wonderful selection of books as well as other fun things, and very easy to order books they don’t have in stock. The staff is always lovely. Great place!

Lovely bookstore with REALLY nice employees!! Definitely recommend!

Such a great little, local, family-owned bookstore. Its small and cozy. The kids section has some great books with awesome art. They also have games, journals, etc. Very thoughtfully stocked items. My husband delivers to them on his UPS route and is always impressed with their service and books. Highly recommend them!

As a teacher, I love having a local bookstore I can rely on when I need a new read aloud for my classroom. The staff at Paper Boat Booksellers are friendly, thoughtful, and knowledgeable and have made my many, many trips into the store a delight. When I order a book, I can be assured it will arrive when they say it will. They always carry a variety of new and noteworthy books as well as the classics my students adore. I am a regular customer at Paper Boats and will continue to be for many years.Many thanks to the lovely folks at Paper Boat Booksellers!

Adorable fun bookstore with several popular titles and a varying selection of gifts and art supplies. Small space but fun to wander around and explore.

Such a gift for West Seattle. The staff is always helpful - just popped in to pickup a new book. If they dont have a title they will get it normally within a week. Feels great to support a local business!

Love this place! Has an amazing selection and can always special order if I need to. The staff always has great suggestions as well. Love to come in here and get inspired for the next fun read. Love that they support local authors with readings and signings.

Wonderful small bookstore, could have stayed here all day! Great staff and excellent pandemic precautions in place

Great local bookstore run by a caring family—adds immensely to West Seattle’s quality of life! They’ve fulfilled over 5 of my requests to order books during the pandemic, all in a timely and attentive manner. Try them before ordering from Whatchamacallazon whenever you can, please.

Such a great neighborhood bookstore! We love it.

Such a great local asset with friendly, helpful staff

Great, local bookstores, with a broad selection!

Friendly staff, good selection. I was able to email them to find out if some titles were in stock. They emailed back and held them for pickup.

I cant explain it, but this is the closest any physical store has come to capturing the feeling of the Scholastic Book Fair.

Great local bookstore with excellent selection. Adhering to all COVID guidelines and keeping their facilities clean and safe.

Super helpful.

Really cute place, great use of space and friendly people

A beautiful store filled with with a thoughtful mix of classic and modern books. I found everything I was looking for easily with their organized layout and felt comfortable in the warmth of the shop. When I asked for a book I was referred to a young woman who has read everything by now. She found it without even having to look at the computer. I will definitely be back.

Really great selection and service

In the age of Amazon it takes a special kind of person to open a bookstore. The proprietors of Paper Boat Booksellers have shown that mindfulness and careful human curation make for a far better experience than any algorithm could generate. Come to the store for your next great read from an awesome NW author, a thoughtful gift for a friend, or just to hangout in a comfy chair during a cold and rainy winters day. Our family loves this store. It has instantly become a part of the neighborhood, and its easy to see why.

Love this bookstore! Excellent selection with plenty of POC and LGBTQ+ representation. I went to the grand opening, and loved it. I end up coming home with books every time I visit! It;s hard to resist the charm of this lovely bookshop.

I love this sweet little bookstore SO much. Thoughtfully laid out/organized, and wow, what a great selection! It’s also really nice to have an indie bookstore in the south end of West Seattle again. Thx to D & E for bringing it to the community, I hope they’re in biz for decades to come!

This bookstore is a perfect addition to our West Seattle neighborhood! They have a good sized collection and are reasonably priced! They are very cozy, and welcoming with approachable and helpful staff. I am very excited to have them around!

What a lovely bookstore, and what a delight that we have it in West Seattle!Theres a terrific selection (obviously thoughtfully curated) of popular contemporary fiction, (as well as the classics) but its balanced withplenty of eclectic titles, for those of us who like occasionally straying off the beaten path. Theres also an impressive young adult section;it seems like a great place for children to lose themselves in a book.I certainly enjoyed my time there, the folks behind the counter wereboth welcoming and knowledgeable - cant wait to go back!

Im very happy to have this cozy little book store open up in our neighborhood. The woman working the register was super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Ill definitely be back for more books and to check out some of the best events they host.

I love this place! Great atmosphere and a comfortable place to browse through books 😊
