We are located at the gateway to the beautiful San Juan Islands.

We have been open since 1994, providing quality books in many subject areas, to Skagit, Island, and San Juan Counties, as well as visitors from around the world

Our specialties include:

• Nautical Books, Fiction and Non Fiction
• Northwest History
• Fine Literature and First Editions
• Gardening and Horticulture
• Cooking

(Please take a look at our Specialties page for selections of the month and other information about these genres.)

We also carry a large number of books in subjects ranging from Architecture to Zoology.

If you are coming to the Skagit Valley or the San Juan Islands, drop in and browse our over 9,000 books in a warm, well organized atmosphere.

And say hello to our cat Jasmine.

If you can't visit us in person, search our inventory at ABE books. It's almost as good as being here.

Can't find an out-of-print title? E-mail us the information and we will find ir for you, at no cost to you until we succeed.

And be sure to join us for the Fourth Annual Anacortes Book Fair, May 1 and 2, 1999. Select the Upcoming Events page for more information.
