In the landscape of Portland over the last few years there has been so much negativity. Leave that negativity at home and go to Wallace Books. Get lost in this jammed packed house full of books. This place is so uniquely Portland that it just personifies our Portland way. Portland is that big city that is not that big. This book store is a big book store that is not that big. Just Go check it out.

The greatest bookstore in the Portland area!! I love wandering through here, always so many treasures to find, and everyone who works here is super nice and always happy to help with a recommendation.

Insanely good bookstore. A labyrinth of first-rate editions and an abundance of books you didn’t even know you wanted. Great literary sections with specific authors in crates and great Pacific Northwest sections as well as section on Native Americans. Didn’t even get to venture into the children’s-book area but it’s an entire room!

This shop is a real gem. I could probably spend hours here browsing the shelves. They helped me locate a book from a series I used to read as a kid, and even gave me more info to help me track down the rest of the books. Amazing customer service, 10/10 will visit again.

Absolutely one of my top favorite bookstores in Portland area! So many new and used books - lots of cool editions too! I was absolutely floored how many books were packed in this store. It was literally floor to ceiling in just about every since room! Great service and very clean too! :) I’ll be back!

This place is so cool! First time in today to try to browse. All the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. They have an excellent selection of a broad range of topic areas including a sumptuous section on local authors. I warned the staff I might get lost in time and space and to maybe leave out some food and water in case I don't resurface for a long time. Great place to find a good book!

Wonderful bookstore with very kind and helpful staff. They have everything! It can be a bit of a maze, but help is always available to find what you're looking for. And inevitably you'll leave with extra finds!

Wallace Books is a place every book lover should visit! It's truly an experience in itself. Just allow lots of time for browsing.

I love many bookstores in Portland but this one is exactly the special blend of unique, grungy, chaotic, affordable, stuffed-to-the-gills-with-good-choices that I’ve wanted to find in this city forever. 10/10 recommend for someone wanting to spend time sorting through stacks.

My wife and kids love this quirky, jam-packed little bookstore. Everyone who works there is sorry friendly and helpful, and they usually have what we're looking for or get it in soon. And there are always some hidden treasures out in the $1 tables!

In a city with many good book stores, Wallace is worth the stop. Why? It's a house with books in every nook and cranny. New ones, old ones, hard to find ones. The owner is very friendly and can also order you a book if they don't have it. Buy local, and try this wonderful store, as even if you don't get a book, it is so different and so one-of-a-kind, that you should go.

I love it here!! I found everything I was looking for, books even Powell’s didn’t have! I could have spent a full day happily browsing. Friendly and helpful staff, too! ?
