Paulina Springs Books

For a small town bookstore, this place is amazing! They’ve got a great selection of relative, readable, today kind of books. I was really impressed by the selection and am very glad to see such a great indie bookstore in Sisters.

I love an independent bookstore, and this one is at the top of the list. Without fail I take some time to hit Paulina Springs Books whenever I go near Central Oregon.
They know their inventory — they give great recommendations… Some of my favorite books I have picked up here, I’ve been introduced to new author’s and even warmed to a new genre thanks to their staff pick’s.
The expanded store is wonderful. The children’s section is great full of crafts, activities, games, toys and of course books. They seem to have the «must read’s» but they also find the most charming picture books. I never leave without a few to add to the collection.

For a small town (pop. 1700), Sisters has been surprising me with its depth lately. It seems to have two of everything. And some of the greatest pleasures the town has to offer are once you wander off Cascade Avenue.
I’ve been a fan of Lonesome Water Books for several years, but finally walked into Paulina Books and thought it was the perfect counterpart. Where Lonesome Water Books specializes in used and rare books and has a decidedly older feel, Paulina Springs is light, bright, modern and filled with new books. So many small bookstores have a limited selection, but this bookstore impressed me both with its size and knowledgeable staff.
Many books are at full retail, but they had a nice selection marked 10 or 25 percent off as well.

Like a ‘mini-​Powells’. I know, I know… that’s a bit strong, but in Sisters to have something so wonderful like Paulina is a god-​send. Central Oregon and particularly Camp Sherman lend themselves to reading. A trip to Paulina is a reward in pleasurable browsing certain to return great finds.

Cute shops galore await you as you walk down nearly every street in the little town of Sisters Oregon. I love wandering about, in out of the décor, antique, food and specialty market stores that exist here. However in all the time I have been walking around Sisters. I have missed this book store.
Just two blocks back really from the main street of shops and tourist attractions, is a cute little book store that reminds me of the corner book stores of old.
Just walking through Sisters conjures up day dreams of the old west. I find myself lost in a Louis L’Amour novel, chasing the ruthless rustler, or dueling it out with a hardened gun fighter. My imagination runs wild when exploring the many nooks and crannies of Sister. So exploring a book store full of many adventures to escape into fits naturally for me.
On my last trip to Sisters just a couple of weeks ago I stumbled, not do to intoxication, on to this great little store. Its incredible organized, with lots of unique books. What stood out to me the most was the many books on our region. Oregon, Central Oregon, Oregon History, and just about anything else you could think of. Paulina Springs is not super large, yet has a great selection of quality books. Occasionally I would find a used book in among the mostly new books they offer. The lady the help me was very knowledgeable, and so enthusiastic about the store and having me there as a customer. Felt good to be appreciated for my purchase.
This is a book store I will make a point to visit from now often on each of my trips. Thank you Paulina Springs.

My favorite bookstore of all time! Of course, I grew up in a town that had only a couple of books and no bookstores but I lived in Portland for a while so I have come across a few good bookstores in my time. What I like best is the staff. It is as if they have read everything in the store. If you have a hankering to read a mystery set on the island of Hawaii during WWI, someone in the store will probably know exactly where to point you.

Small and inviting! I am a big fan of the huge Barnes & Noble, but I LOVE these small private bookstores as well. I love that you find a collection of recomendations that are not necessarily on the bestsellers lists. I have bought several books based on this stores recomendations, and I have yet to be disappointed. We definately stop and spend at least an hour here whenever we are in the area. Probably one of the best small town bookstores I’ve ever been in. Great selection and great environment!!!
