Known For

Campus bookshop with exposed brick that punches above its category

Southern Oregon University's Book Store exceeds campus bookshop expectations with exposed brick interiors and cozy nook corners that make textbook shopping feel almost pleasant. The local favorite designation comes partly from the SOU community, partly from everyone else who wanders in.

🕐Best time to visit: Early September when the new semester stock arrives

1250 Siskiyou Blvd, Ashland, OR 97520, USA

Our Take

A campus bookstore with rare finds and staff who actually read their recommendations is a better experience than the category usually delivers, set in an unexpectedly cozy brick-and-nook environment. Worth a visit if you're on campus — it overperforms its expectations in an endearing way.
