“I can't believe I just found out about this place, and I am SO happy! It's a hidden treasure and has a huge array of books to gifts to choose from. I will order any Christian books from them from now on if not in stock. Very nice helpful staff, you'll be happy I told you about them! lol”
“Very nice new bookstore. Owners really make an effort to know the inventory. Lots of opportunities to interact with others over books. Would definitely recommend checking it out when looking for books.”
“I stopped in to look for a gift and was amazed by the selection of items they had. The ladies behind the counter were full of stories as well as very helpful. If you have children, it could be a challenge getting them to leave. I wish more of these stores still existed.”
“I found it to be clean and and easy to navigate. Bathrooms were clean and plentiful. Parking was not difficult. Decent views of downtown and the surrounding area.”
“King’s books is and will always be my favorite Tacoma bookstore. The owner is so nice, I miss seeing them and getting a friendly greeting every time I walked into the store. I love the community building that Kings books does, with readings, and book groups. I have always loved getting recommendations from the staff.The last few times I have been in the store, I haven’t received the same warm Tacoma welcome I have received since childhood. I miss the feeling of walking in and feeling instantly welcome. I miss the genuine Tacoma friendly-ness I used to receive here. I know Tacoma has changed, but I miss my friendly bookstore staff who said hello, left me alone to browse, but were always ready with recommendations if I needed any.”
“literally the best place I've ever been too, music playing is amazing, they have every album by every artist you could think of, in both vinyl and cd format. if I could live here I would.”
“Super big. Super nice!!! Love the selection, though some books bothered me due to their outdated and bad topics, but that definitely isnt their fault. Amazing organizing!”
“Pros: So many books!Cons: Too many books.They need a bigger space. Piles of books were all over the floor, and it was stressful to try to look through and navigate around.Absolutely not accessible for wheelchairs/walkers.They don't have a way to check inventory, but they did have a helpful and straightforward staff member who was knowledgeable about how their stock changes.”
“I was surprised to actually see a African American section for books in this part of town, I was even more surprised at the level of customer service I received. I'm African American with braids an dress in urban fashion and I'm usually followed when dressed this way in wealthier retail areas, but this store is the complete opposite. Has that small town hospitality vibe every time I enter an I appreciate the patience shown to me an my hyper 7 an 8 year running thru the store . Thank you an merry Christmas”
“This is great, has what I was looking for a Condor chest rig. I had been down the start at the 92 Yankee and he didn't have what I wanted, so he suggested I try Foxhole, both stores are awesome!!!!”
