Uppercase Bookshop

Cute location for bookstore. Was hoping for more of a selection.

Super cute store, very friendly customer service, nice selection, excellent suggestions but the prices were very high for used books. One of the books I wanted was 9 used!
I love local businesses but that is too rich for my blood.

I have never actually been into the store, but I did contact this business online with some question ans and they were beyond friendly. Even though we were not paying customers they were still willing to go out of there way to help us out; so that customer service gets the five star «as good as it gets» rating.

Cute, quiet, and very helpful! Uppercase has a wide variety of titles and the CUTEST kids section! A perfect family store for all to grab a loved book and read together! My son adored the kids section and could sit in there for hours. THANKS UPPERCASE!

Warm, quaint, and great selection of good reads … what more could you want? If you are visiting the Seattle/​Everett area, a stop in the Snohomish historic district where this gem of a bookstore is located is a must! The owners and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. If there’s a book you’re looking for, they will find it for you. My son is looking to attend college in Washington and I am so excited to have someplace to shop that is so welcoming, it feels like home when I come back for a visit.

I had the pleasure of visiting this great store on a recent trip to Washington.
First, I suggest putting Snohomish as a ‘must visit’ locale when headed to the Seattle area. It is definitely worth the drive to this quaint town of Victorian buildings, antique stores, and high quality shops.
Highest on my list of recommendations is Uppercase Book Shop. What a wonderful find filled with unique and orginal books! This is a throw back to an era when there was truly customer service. The staff is very knowledgeable, listens to your needs, and assist in recommendations — you don’t get that at the discount or chain stores!
I put myself on their mailing list and amazed to see the monthly bookreadings and events for all ages. This place is it’s own wonderful experience!
Thank you Uppercase for making my trip to the Northwest an incredible delight! I look forward to my next visit to Snohomish and most importantly, Uppercase Book Shop!

Meh. Count me not impressed. Maybe I’m just spoiled from the small-​town used book stores I used to frequent in the Eureka/​Arcata area. But when I went in today with a stack of used books to sell, I found myself wanting to take them back and tell them «Nevermind.» Let me explain.
I came in with a stack of used books and I said that I had seen on their website that they buy books. The woman that works there corrected me several times… They give store credit for gently used books. Ok. Then I asked if it was possible to check in later to see how much credit they were going to be able to give me for my books and see which books they were unable to buy. No, that’s not possible. I guess that’s just not what I’m used to. I prefer to know what I’m getting before selling/​giving my books away. Now I think I’ll probably just use up my store credit (if I have any?) and keep looking for a used book store that better fits me. It’s too bad too, ’cause they’re right down the street from my house and I LOVE used book stores. I think we both lost out here.

I love this local bookstore! The service is great! The owner is a real gem! and anytime I can support a good local business I will. Much better than going to Everett and the Half Service chain!

A great bookstore! 2+ stories of good reads.
It says closed on Sundays, but it was def open.
I got an early published copy of «Jaws» for $ 2. The cover said $ 1.95, but it’s been almost 40 years, so I’ll allow the mark-​up (hahaha).
The lady behind the counter was super nice and even told me her husband had been an extra in the movie «Jaws.»
I loved this place.

Quaint. Cute. Fun. Adorable little bookstore. Such knowledgeable staff and wonderful programs for the kids. Would definitely stop by here for friendly service and help ordering anything special for the holidays. Great for unique gifts, too.

Just visited the new location on 1^st street this weekend and it is more lovely than ever. The staff is great, immediately helped me find what I was looking for at great prices and I was even able to pick up a new release. The atmosphere of this store is as good as it gets for bookworms. They may not have their entire selection out yet due to their recent move, but they are working to make it organized and better than it was at the last location. They don’t currently ‘buy books back’ but they do offer a store credit program if you want to leave your old books with them and get something new. The selection is great old and new.

Just went to the re-​opening on First Street. The bookstore looks and feels great. My friend and local author also had her book launch there the same day. It is her second book in a the Professor Bradshaw Mystery series.
Can’t wait for some of the events in the works!

We’ve been going to Uppercase Books for about 15 years now, since moving to the Seattle area. It’s been a favorite bookstore throughout that time and it’s neat to have it here in Snohomish.
Recently, the shop changed management and I had a chance to talk with the new owners and employees. And while the previous owners were great, I’m thrilled about some changes that the new people are making. The book selection had gotten a little static and the new owner is working on revamping the selection. It’s going very well after just a couple months: I’ve stopped in a couple times recently and have found some new real treasures in the used selection, as well as some fun books in a larger new book area.
Here’s wishing the new owners all kinds of success! Their ideas for improving an already very cool bookstore are terrific!

Uppercase Books is a warm and comfortable place filled with a huge, wonderful selection of books. What more can you ask for?
If you need more they also hold lots of local events, serve coffee and pastries, and will take your used books in exchange for store credit.
Awesome.
