Open Books: A Poem Emporium is based in Seattle, Washington, and is one of just four poetry-only bookstores in the U.S.

Our 500-square-foot shop is brimming with more than 10,000 new, used, and out-of-print poetry books, as well as a selection of titles about poetry. You’ll find a broad range of volumes on our shelves from publishers huge, tiny, and in between. We also purchase a wide array of used books to maintain what we hope is a continually varied and interesting stock.
