Booking it: a shopping guide
Books and students go
together. Eugene has several
bookstores, too many to list.
However, there are a few right
around campus that can meet
almost any reader’s needs.
Now that school’s almost
here it’s time to meander down 13th Avenue to
the University Bookstore and pick up all those re
quired readings for all those required classes.
You think lines at registration are long?
Prepare yourself. It seems everyone on campus
shops at the University Bookstore. The manage
ment tries to stock every book the faculty requests
in its three-story building on the comer of 13th
Avenue and University Street, said Chris Stan
dish, coursebook manager.
Yet, the University Bookstore also stocks
rows of pleasure-reading material, plus other
school supplies.
In the book department University students
can take advantage of a 10 percent discount with
the presentation of a validated student card.
In an effort to save money by buying used
books, many students try their luck at the Smith
Family Bookstore, a couple of blocks west of the
University Bookstore at 768 E. 13th. The Smith
Family Bookstore buys and sells used books — in
cluding textbooks — and many times students
find they can save money by utilizing this family
operated store, according to co-owner Misa
Smith.
She and her husband Delbert have had the
business for ten years, and during that time have
accumulated so many books that recently they
had to expand. A new section of the store sells on
ly new books.
After an attack of textbook burnout one can
seek relief at Paradox Bookstore located at 825 E.
13th.
Another family-operated business, Paradox
specializes in psychological self-help books, says
owner Patrick Fraleigh. Fraleigh boasts that he
and his wife, both owners and both
psychologists, have read almost all the books on
the shelves which also include sections on
women and women’s issues, gardening, physical
fitness, career planning and spirituality.
If you’re looking for a shop that mainly offers
spiritual and inspirational reading material,
Perlandra Bookstore is the place for you.
The sweet smell of incense and the flowing
sounds of Celtic music fill the air as you enter the
store at 790 E. 11th. Several sections such as
metaphysical, healing, eastern and western
religions, astrology, feminism, yoga and “new
age information,” line the shelves, according to
Perlandra employee Cheryl Robinson.

Buried in the stacks of local bookstores you can
find bargins just waiting to be dug up.
There are always a few particular outdated
books that can't seem to be found anywhere. Try
the Book Mark at 856 Olive. The 15-year-old
business stocks many older titles plus a lot of new
ones, and if they don’t have it than they can pro
bably order it for no extra cost, said manager
Karen West.
The Book Mark also features at least 20 dif
ferent newspapers and 650 magazines from
around the world, West says.
If you find yourself book-hunting in the late
afternoon and feeling that it’s time for a spot of
tea, head east to Book and Tea located in a
remodeled house at 1646 E. 19th.
It offers a “good selection of general books,”
according to employee Susan Jewett, and a free
cup of tea as well. A calm, peaceful atmosphere
and strong sections on mystery, fiction, women
and children are the highlights of the two-year
old shop.
