Clackamas Book Exchange — Local services in Milwaukie

This bookstore is absolutely fantastic! There is absolutely something for everyone considering genre and price range. I purchased 30 books for $200 this would not even be possible at another bookstore. I was able to get a variety of books from true crime, fiction, as well were very special books from the 1840s to the 1920s. These vintage books were curated by her nephew Joey who is earning his way to college. Overall my experience was phenomenal they were there to help my friend and I as well as give us guidance on sales and upcoming community events! Jessica the owner has even held events with puppies - come on puppies & books! This is a must stop if you are close to Clackamas/Portland! I live in Seattle but anytime I go to visit my friend this will definitely be the place to support and make sure that my library is properly nourished. Thank you Jessica for creating such a beautiful place for us to follow our reading hearts - See...

Honestly i still dont think i understand it correctly but the gist is you bring two books in of the same value you get one book of the same value out. But then you also have to pay $1 cash for every book purchased off credit. They havent seemed to get much new over the last few months since my first visit and maybe that's why. I know i wont be bringing my books back here again. There was a diner in the same lot That had good food and prices. Neither are open on...

The woman was very friendly and tried to help me find a copy of any book by Veronica Roth (which they had none of)

Looking through the rest of the shelves was similarly a game of find the gold in the oldies. There are very few newer books, and the vast majority of the selection is romance and romance series.

If you're looking for modern books (anything in the last 15 years) at used-book prices I suggest looking elsewhere.

If you're looking for an old 70s-90s fantasy novel, or any romance (and you will surely find something you like in that genre!) I would recommend...
