About UsWelcome to the cyber-home of Earthlight Books. We are a family
owned and operated full-service bookstore with a storefront located in
Walla Walla, Washington and our online warehouse located in Shelton,
Washington. Since 1973 we have been filling the literary
needs of this wonderful community in the Walla Walla Valley. Over the
past 35 years our shop here has become a staple of this vibrant local
economy, a beautiful downtown scene and an informed intelligentsia. We
sell books through our storefront, this website, and a book-mobile that
travels to festivals and fairs. We also sell through Alibris, ABE,
Amazon, Ebay and several other online outlets through their third-party
programs.
In 2002 we
aided in the opening of Last Word Books, an independent bookstore in
downtown Olympia, Washington. In 2009 we helped some friends start Copy
Left Books in Portland, Oregon and now in 2010 we are aiding an
underground printer and publisher: Last Word Press, in getting off the
ground.
Please
bear with us as we enter the 21st Century kicking and screaming.
This website platform is new to us and we are still ironing out some
kinks and assigning categories for our books. As it stands, only some
of our inventory has been assigned categories, which
means the bulk of our books are currently listed under 'Other' but are
still searchable by title, author, keyword, etc. Also, it will take us
awhile to get descriptions and pictures of our books uploaded, so feel
free to write for more info on a particular title in the meantime.
Some
of the books we sell online are through a partnership with the Penrose
Memorial
Library at Whitman College in Walla Walla. Proceeds from the sales of these donated and discarded library
books go to benefit the
library as well as fund various student projects. We have found this
to be an educational, entertaining and profitable experiment in local
culture and economics and it has furthered the relationships between a University and a local bookstore.
We appreciate your business! Keep reading!
