Your Trusted Independent Bookstore in Vancouver, WA
Vintage Books is an independent, family-owned bookstore and mail-order business that has served book lovers and auto enthusiasts for 37 years. Our priority has always been offering the best book selection and employing the most knowledgeable, dedicated staff. All our team members are passionate readers whose diverse preferences are reflected in our curated staff choices. We strive to make book buying easy while treating every customer's purchases with the care we would our own. Our physical store features a cozy, low-key atmosphere with pine bookcases, vintage decor, and a dedicated children's area.While our online inventory changes daily, we gladly check our shelves for unavailable titles. We actively support community literacy programs, including our annual Holiday Book Angels drive, and offer competitive e-book sales for most e-readers. As a locally owned business, we return significantly more revenue to the local economy compared to national chains or online competitors.
