Welcome to Longfellows Books. Please browse our inventory of books and magazines, including rare, antiquarian and out of print titles.
We are an independent bookstore specializing in quality used books, magazines, sheet music and ephemera, with our areas of expertise being first editions, quality literature, Pacific Northwest History, world history and the social sciences. The store was opened in 1980 in SE Portland, Oregon and has been in its present location for more than 15 years.
Please feel free to take a look at our blog at http://www.longfellowspdx.blogspot.com/. There you should be able to see some of our recent acquisitions and hopefully see things which aren't listed on the site. For new customers who would like to visit the store in person, we are open afternoons and our hours are 1-5:30 Monday through Friday and 1-5 Saturdays. Please be aware that these are the hours that we attempt to stick to as assiduously as possible. Sometimes we are there a little early or stay a little late; occasionally we do have to close the store earlier than our normal hours (to make it to the post office before it closes, etc), and once in a while we are closed due to health complications or the like. We are clearly a family owned and run business and hope that you expect to encounter a little character when you visit us. We also hope that you will understand if you catch us at an inopportune moment, and if you're coming from across the city or even another city, please feel free to give us a call at (503) 239-5222 to make sure we'll be there to help you. Thank you very much for visiting.
We presently have approximately 5000 books online, and are hoping to quickly expand that number to around 10,000, in addition to uploading our collections of collectible sheet music and magazines. Please take your time browsing our stock, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your time and for visiting us. Please do click on the 'about us' link to learn a little more about the store.
Lastly, we hope that you feel totally comfortable with the idea of ordering from us. We understand that ordering anything off of the internet can be anxiety inducing, and we all have enough of that to go around these days. We assure you that we take the utmost care when it comes to protecting your information and making sure that our customers are completely satisfied with their orders. We have been selling our books online for more than 3 years via other websites, and opened this online storefront in September 2006. We have a secure credit card processing service, pack and ship our own books, and are always available to answer any questions you may have regarding the site or our stock.
The 2009 Rose City Used Book Fair, the 3rd annual, is rapidly approaching, to take place in June. We will soon post further details and hope to see you there.
