    Have been very happy with this little store just a short mile walk from our home. During COOVD times, my virtual book club made a pact to only order books through a local small shop, and I’m lucky to have Letterpress as my home base. My kids know when they go with me to pick up a new book, they will most likely leave with one of their own. Karen is always happy to help me find the books that I need in the shop or order them when they aren’t on the shelves, which normally takes less than a week. Well worth the stop and SO much better than Amazon...

    Friendly, thoughtfully curated, family-run bookstore in North Deering. Karen and Katherine are always warm and welcoming. The selection of books and gifts is surprisingly diverse for such a cozy store footprint. Convenient location and parking is super easy.

    What a magical gem Letterpress is! Every time I go into this family-run bookstore I end up leaving with all sorts of treasures, more than I came in for! The selection of books (especially the children's literature) is varied and exciting: a great mix of classics, regional-themed books, the newest and best, and works that challenge and broaden your horizons. And the shop itself is so cozy and welcoming with the warmest staff you could possibly have. Long live bookstores and long live Letterpress!!

    Letterpress is my "go-to" bookstore in the Portland area. Not only do they carry a thoughtfully curated selection of titles, but the staff takes the time to welcome you, make you feel comfortable, and learn your tastes in reading. If they don't carry a title they can order it, and it arrives quickly. Going there is always a wonderful experience. This charming little bookshop offers a much appreciated human touch in our big box world.

    I've been going here for years since I moved in just down the street. I love this place so much, the owners are incredibly sweet and clearly love what they do. They make great recommendations and they always love to hear feedback from customers. I honestly do most of my Christmas shopping there every year. And my absolute favourite is when they do date with a book. You can get so many books for so cheap, and it's always a fun surprise to see what you get! I've never been disappointed.

    Letterpress is our family's go-to bookstore and it is truly a neighborhood bookstore. The staff is unfailingly warm and well-read. We spend a lot of time in the children's section, where the books always feel carefully curated, and we have wonderful luck discovering new titles there. Happy 9th Anniversary, Letterpress! Here's to 9 more and counting!

    Amazing local bookstore with the friendliest staff. Excellent recommendations and they will order whatever you need/want. Although it is a small store, it is by far my favorite go to for books. I would rather support my local bookstore than order from multinational corporations. Highly recommend for all your literary needs.

    Delightful little bookstore with a variety of genres. There's a great children's section and also a staff suggestions section to help you find your next read.
