Neighborhood Books & Gifts 279 East Main Street, Hermiston, OR 97838

"It's a really great little bookstore packed with all sorts of books. Very friendly owner eager to help you find what you need."

"A treasure trove of books! Fair pricing for used books and tons to look at! A mix of contemporary reads and old friends. Staff was kind and we enjoyed a little chat! My husband has asthma so the only note is that it is a bit dusty (which we don’t mind, his lungs just do!). Definitely worth the stop!"

"There is something special about Neighborhood Books & Gifts in Hermiston, OR. It's more than just a bookstore, it's a place to make literary discoveries that you would not otherwise have been able to make on places like Amazon. Their prices are very often cheaper than Amazon, and you will not get caught up in the "if you like this, try that" algorithm. This is the strength of this place: stacks of books, labyrinthine aisles and a sense of wonder... that's what bookstores are supposed to be."

"I love going into this place. There's always something interesting to find. The owner is friendly, the books are affordable, and there are a wide variety of topics. It's a used book store, so unless someone donates a brand new book, you won't find anything that was released this month, but you will find something for everyone here. I highly recommend this place!"

"I stopped in here while traveling after I realized I forgot my Kindle. As a lover of books, I can't recommend this place. It is literally piled with worn old paperbacks. There are two rooms of these piles. The proprietor is friendly and showed me where the different genres were. After browsing a little I settled on the tiny Classics section. I think it was the only part of the store that didn't have dozens of cheap paperback copies of the same title. The lack of organization made it difficult to browse, and the lack of real variety and quality of books was disappointing. At checkout, the owner decided to share some of his political views with me, assuming that I shared them, which I found a little obnoxious. I was wishing I had made the 30 minute drive to Richland for a decent bookstore instead."
