We have a New Owner!
We are thrilled to introduce our new owner, Katharine C. Hershey, a longtime resident of Queen Anne and loyal customer of our independent, neighborhood bookstore. She plans a seamless transition with the intent of maintaining the store’s tradition of community involvement.
“This fulfills a lifelong dream I’ve had to own a bookstore, and most particularly to be a part of Queen Anne Books,” said Hershey. “This store is such an important part of the Queen Anne neighborhood. Clearly, bookstores and bookselling are in a time of huge transition. It is my goal to maintain our traditional bookselling model while embracing marketplace changes.”

Our Book a Month Clubs
We've changed our Book a Month program! While we used to sell a traditional subscription, we now open our discount to anyone who would like to purchase the selected titles (in-store or online, shipping not included). Each month, in the five catergories below, we choose a book we're excited about and give you 15% off those titles. Check back monthly for new titles or swing by the store to see them on display.

Top Picks of the Year
We all love end of the year Top Ten lists - who doesn't? Each December while the store is full and the books are flying, we are also agonizing over our favorite books of the year and how to rank them. The number one position is all-important because that helps to determine our Queenie Award Winner (our store favorite book of the year).
Map of the (oft) Pedestrian Stairs of Queen Anne
Thomas Horton's beautiful map of the stairs of Queen Anne Hill is
available in both a folded, pocket-size version and a large poster. The
folded map is printed on coated paper to make it water-resistant. The
poster is 18 x 24 inches and is suitable for framing.
